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.

We use [Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE] to prepare federal and state income tax returns which allows us to complete the work assigned very quickly and allow senior members of the team to review the work before submitting in a very fluid state. While not in the tax or busy season, the program is not as used as much.

  • ONESOURCE is excellent for providing a holistic suite of products that are specifically geared toward tax compliance.
  • ONESOURCE also does an excellent job of maintaining a fresh look and appearance to their products, but doesn't change the base functionality just to sell more or improve the look of the product.
  • ONESOURCE also does an excellent job of maintaining current tax information. In an ever changing tax world, this is the most important thing for a piece of tax software to provide.

Cons
Bitwave
  • Bitwave can seemingly miss picking up some transactions due to glitches, but if you discover them, they can resolve them.
  • Ability to re-sync transactions to ERP if there are changes, without having to delete said transaction in ERP first

  • ONESOURCE absolutely needs to restore their TIN Matching feature. Not having a TIN Matching feature is huge and needs to be addressed immediately.
  • The software interface itself is outdated and clunky. It is way behind in terms of user-friendliness and convenience. Additionally, it is only compatible with Internet Explorer. ONESOURCE is literally the only reason I would ever access Internet Explorer which is notably slower and more prone to freezing than Google Chrome or Safari. A good portion of our business uses Macs which means they are SOL on accessing ONESOURCE.
  • The ability to look at multiple tax years for a single recipient would be huge. Currently, if a recipient asks us to pull three years of data, this means three different searches within each year's ONESOURCE instance. It's tedious and could be improved.

To reiterate - a very useful tool for private company information, otherwise not forthcoming on the public domain. It is very crucial in Company analyses for various lenses, slices and dices of Company information. Also useful in industry analysis and in list building. Overall a great research and analytics tool.

The ONESOURCE support has improved significantly over the years. Support sends out emails with the answer provided which helps in the future when the same issue occurs. This reduces the amount of calls to ONESOURCE Support as you can better document the calls and rely on previous answers if the same issue occurs. ONESOURCE support has also implemented a callback feature that reduces the amount of time spent on hold.

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.

As I said it is an easy-to-use platform and saved us time and money. They have great customer service and have helped our company get new hires checked and in-service faster than our old company. By combining the two services in one place it has made it easier for the new hire and the HR staff to track results. I am a fan!
