FinQuery Review
The software is a great tool for lease accounting but it falls short on the administration side. We need to be able to monitor our leases (renewals, escalations, etc) but the software offers no real time alerts or reports that allow us to efficiently manage our leases. Our team also finds the interface extremley difficult to navigate and train new staff on.
A very robust solution
I used the system at a larger organization and it is a very robust solution. It seems built more for larger corporations than organizations with a handful of leases to report on. I also found the interface rigid and difficult to navigate. If I made any type of mistake, it was hard to go back and fix it without having to re-do numerous steps.

LeaseQuery was pretty comparable to the few other systems
We ended up going with LeaseQuery for our lease accounting. Another company near us are using the same program so now we can check and see if we are doing it right.
LeaseQuery was pretty comparable to the few other systems we checked out. Their pricing was a bit higher than some of the other systems but we had some familiarity and liked the ease of use of LeaseQuery.

Support and pricing
The name familiarity of Leasequery drew us to it. Turned out price was all good too. Support was good, they did a good job with the implementation.
You would have had to do a bunch of manual adds for some other programs. Those were more of a manual database. Leasequery was a little bit more of a polished, finished product.

A trusted vendor in the field
After looking at a handful of solutions for ASC 842 complinace, we moved forward with Lease Query. The primary reason is they were most established across the market and a trusted vendor in the field. As a user on the software for the last several months, we have been happy with the system.

Lots of great features and simple to use
We ended up going with LeaseQuery after reviewing a few recommendations. They were able to meet all of our needs and even had more features than we needed. We ended up choosing them as they seemed the simplest to use. Support has been great and we have monlty meetings with LeaseQuery
Pros
Met all of our lease accounting needs Great support team
Cons
Nothing negative in our month of using it.
Met our Requirements
We demoed LeaseQuery and thought it was fine. It was able to meet all of our needs but we ended up going with another product. The pricing for the other product just made sense for our simple needs.
Pros
Able to meet all of our software needs
Cons
Other options were more affordable.

LeaseQuery has been a critical part of our implementation
LeaseQuery has been a critical part of our implementation of 842. It would be helpful if I were able to make changes to leases that are in the “submitted” phase and if there was a function that checked the effect of receiving TI reimbursements at different dates than originally imputted.
Pros
The journal entry exports
Cons
Having to submit a lease in order to see TI to see the "new rules" implemented in the amortization table

User friendly software for managing leases
LeaseQuery is a user friendly software that allows our 5 subsidiary companies to easily manage their combined 150 leases.
Pros
To me, the best part about LeaseQuery is the how user friendly the software is.

The software is easy to use
Lease Query is a software used to calculate lease asset, liabilities, amortization schedules, create journal entries and reports.
Pros
The software is easy to use, it has helped us organize and keep the leases in one place, and it allows us to create journal entries.
Cons
We have encountered several issues with the termination journal entries and we have had to calculate them manually. I wish when an issue is reported by one user, they would make other users aware of the problem. Sometimes they do, but sometimes they don't.

The website is very easy to use, understand, and navigate
LeaseQuery is exactly the accounting software our company needs to comply with ASC 842 for leasing.
Pros
The website is very easy to use, understand, and navigate. But more importantly is to get the reports and journal entry needed.
Cons
Sometime the website can be slow.

The software is intuitive and easy to use
LeaseQuery is a good product to handle a smaller lease population. We have somewhere around 100-125 leases at any given time and it is perfect for managing that population.
Pros
The software is intuitive and easy to use.
Cons
The lack of a catch-up journal entry has been a pain-point for our team thus far, LQ does promise this will be fixed sometime around Q1-Q2 2020.
FinQuery Review
It’s easy to use and easy to learn.
Pros
The quick response of the Support team
Cons
The help section does not give enough examples.
A breath of fresh air for lease accounting
This is a breath of fresh air for an occupation that’s usually treated with bored stares, long sighs and slow blinks. As I signed off for the day, I found myself wondering what new funny would be waiting for me the next time I logged into LeaseQuery. And then I realized I was actually liking lease accounting for the first time in eight years.
FinQuery Review
The things that we liked about LeaseQuery were the data validation, audit trail, and email notifications.
When we have questions, we send a note, and someone sends a response within an hour or two.
