Chose CCH Axcess
CCH offered a best-in-class product at a price point that was "reasonable", given the high volume of users in our organization and the immense number of tax returns we complete annually. We also already employ many other tools from the WoltersKluwer family of applications, …

Not at all
the support for ATX is phenomenal
Chose CCH Axcess
CCH Axcess is simply more robust. They provide an all in one solution and do the best job at integrating all needed modules.
Chose CCH Axcess
Customer service is horrible for Axcess and getting bad for ATX. Wolters Kluwer has purchased these software products
Chose CCH Axcess
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 …
Chose CCH Axcess
I researched other products after I decided to stop using CCH. I had my faith in CCH because of Tax. Realized that they are good at Tax doesn’t mean they are good at others after almost two years with the Axcess products.

If you have a pro that uses the software then you should be fine. If you are using the software and need any support from THEIR customer support people or dedicated rep, be prepared to be frustrated! Horrible Customer Service but it is due to Wolters Kluwer not caring and purchasing various tax products but not having the ethics to make sure they are properly trained or overwhelmed

CCH offered a best-in-class product at a price point that was "reasonable", given the high volume of users in our organization and the immense number of tax returns we complete annually. We also already employ many other tools from the WoltersKluwer family of applications, which alleviates the administrative burden of reviewing a new vendor.
