Overall Satisfaction with BlackLine

I use it to manage and automate the monthly reconciliation of the corporate credit-card accounts.

It helps because the automated import of statements data and system GL extracts, plus configurable matching rules eliminate over 80% of manual line by line work.

Usually the reconciliations are done on or before the 5th of each month.

Pros

  • Reduces manual work using rules-based automation and templates.
  • Transaction matching.

Cons

  • I would like BlackLine to be more user-friendly, sometimes I have a hard time understanding the automated matches.
  • When there are refunds, should be an additional filter to know whether if there is supposed to be an automated match or not, depending on the date of the refund.
  • Increased productivity
BlackLine has had a measurable impact on our accounting operations by helping us bring structure, automation, and visibility to a process that was previously time-consuming and highly manual. Our use of BlackLine, primarily for credit card reconciliations, has transformed what used to be a tedious, spreadsheet-driven activity into a streamlined, audit-ready workflow.

Do you think BlackLine delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with BlackLine's feature set?

Yes

Did BlackLine live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BlackLine go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy BlackLine again?

Yes

I only use BlackLine for credit card reconciliations, and for that is very well suited, we have a lot of credit cards and credit card transactions across multiple merchants and payment processors; manually reconciling these against bank statements is time-consuming and error-prone.

I think BlackLine is less appropriate if there are only a few transactions.
