Bitwave vs. CCH Axcess vs. XCMworkflow, from Wolters Kluwer

If you are mainly using Bitcoin, ERC-20 tokens, or any supported chains where they have automatic data retrieval the system is great. The biggest issue, which Bitwave is constantly working on, is not supporting automatic transaction retrieval of specific crypto blockchains. They currently have a workaround by allowing manual uploads of unsupported chains (i.e., layer two chains like Arbitrum or Cosmos-based chains). The Bitwave platform still works excellently with unsupported chains; however, it is just a little more time-consuming b/c transactions are inputted using a CSV file that needs to be correct. But I imagine they will continue to add new supported chains, and since I have been a customer, I have seen the number of blockchains they support at least double.

This application is best suited for enterprise use cases. It interfaces with almost every other major platform at the enterprise level and is scalable to the nth degree. But that comes at a high price tag, given that it integrates with everything and is used relatively ubiquitously. Any recommendations that I would give on the platform would be based on enterprise applicability.

Legible was similar service but too high in pricing. Coinpanda was able to support some chains that Bitwave wasn't able to automatically support; however, Coinpanda was a less professionalized operation with less customer support.

CCH Axcess was very comparable to Thomson Reuters. They are both large companies in their fields and have similar resources. We ultimately went with Thomson Reuters because we bundled with their other softwares for a better price and it makes sense to be with one company to deal with one customer support line.
