    Reval is suited to a large number of transactions across a disaggregated business. It may not be well suited where especially complex derivatives and highly stylized reporting are required.

    TLM will be well suited for an organization's recon requirements. If the organization is able to afford the software, it will be worth investing the amount. The support for heterogeneous file formats is one of the key features. It can accept swift and flat files. The config screens for ingesting the data are very user-friendly. Overall the time taken for setting up a new recon is very less. TLM can be improved if they bring in some AI/ML algorithms for improved match rates.

    Support Rating
    Ion Group
    They are usually prompt and reliable. Occasionally, we have time difference issues as support is often offshore some local staff turnover since ION acquired Reval, but this has been managed.

    GTreasury acquired Visual Risk (which was an alternative product), but we preferred Reval for processing grunt (albeit GTreasury/Visual risk had an easier user interface). Have used Sungard/Quantum previously, however, I haven't looked at it recently.

    Excel was used as a traditional recon tool using macros for matching. There is no room to scale up the recons using excel. The recons are cumbersome and take a lot of time to complete. There are more chances of manual errors. No UI to create a good user experience. Overall all negatives compared to TLM
