Regulatory reporting software collects, validates and files the returns your regulator demands. The main thing to understand before shopping: this is enterprise software sold by quotation. Almost nobody in this category publishes a price, and the ones who appear to usually do not.
What changed in this article. Checked in August 2026, none of the four prices previously published here could be sourced from the vendors’ own sites, so all four have been removed rather than repeated. One vendor on the list, Adenza, no longer exists as an independent company. Details are in each entry.
Key features to look for:
- Templates and Forms: pre-built returns for the regimes you file under
- Data Integration: pulls from your source systems
- Data Validation: catches errors before the regulator does
- Data Security and Audit Trail: who changed what, and when
- Version Control
- Real-Time Monitoring
- Regulatory Updates: the vendor tracks rule changes, not you
- Workflow Automation
- Reporting and Customization
- Scalability
That eighth item is the one that justifies the cost. Buying this software is mostly buying someone else’s obligation to keep up with rule changes.
| Software | Coverage | Pricing (checked Aug 2026) |

| Datasoft FxOffice | FINTRAC and AUSTRAC AML reporting within an FX platform | Not published |
| ThirdEye (Jade) | AUSTRAC SMR, TTR, IFTI; New Zealand SAR and PTR | Not published |

All ten quote rather than publish. Budget for a scoping exercise and an implementation cost separate from the licence, and get both in writing before you commit.
1. Finastra
Cloud transaction reporting, aimed at institutions filing under European trade reporting regimes.
Compliance Coverage
- EMIR
- MiFID
- MAR
- SFTR
Reporting Capabilities
Data sourcing, validation and reporting status tracking, so failed submissions surface before the deadline rather than after it.
Automation and Workflow
Automates collection and enrichment. Cloud deployment, so no on-premise build.
Pricing and Support
Not published. Finastra positions the cloud model as avoiding upfront IT expense, which is a claim about capital versus operating cost, not about the total.
2. Datasoft FxOffice
An end-to-end foreign exchange and global payments platform with AML regulatory reporting built in. Regulatory reporting is a module here, not the product.
Compliance Coverage
- FINTRAC
- AUSTRAC
Reporting Capabilities
- Automated EFT and LCT regulatory reporting
- Electronic submission to trade repositories
- Suspicious transaction reporting
- Workflow reports for EFTO/EFTI and LCTR
Pricing and Support
The “$2,500.00/month” figure previously published here does not appear on Datasoft’s site, which publishes no rates and routes buyers to a demo request. It has been removed.
3. ThirdEye
A SaaS AML platform covering transaction monitoring, customer screening, case management and reporting. Note the name: it is now marketed as ThirdEye rather than Jade ThirdEye.
Compliance Coverage
AML regimes in Australia and New Zealand.
Reporting Capabilities
Automated submission of SMR, TTR and IFTI reports to AUSTRAC, and SAR and PTR reports to the New Zealand FIU.
Pricing and Support
The “A$2,000.00/month” figure previously quoted here is not published anywhere on the vendor’s site, which carries no rate card in any currency and routes enquiries to a meeting booking. It has been removed.
4. Workiva
Cloud reporting built around linked data: change a number once and every document referencing it updates.
Compliance Coverage
- SEC reporting
- Statutory reporting
- ESG reporting
Reporting Capabilities
- XBRL and iXBRL tagging
- Document management with full audit trail
- Collaborative drafting across finance, legal and IR
Pricing and Support
Quoted. Workiva does not publish rates.
5. Alessa
Financial crime compliance with automated regulatory filing.
Compliance Coverage
Reporting Capabilities
Automated preparation, validation and electronic submission of SARs, CTRs and STRs.
The previous version of this article said Alessa “automates up to 100% of reporting tasks”. That is vendor marketing language, not a measurable capability, and it has been removed. What the product genuinely does is generate and file the reports; deciding what to file remains a human judgement.
Pricing and Support
Quoted. Support by phone, email and chat.
6. OneSumX by Wolters Kluwer
Puts bank data under a common model so finance, risk and regulatory reporting reconcile with each other. Includes a service that tracks changing requirements across multiple countries.
Compliance Coverage
- AnaCredit
- HKMA GDR
- Bank of Thailand RDT
- APRA ARS 220
Reporting Capabilities
- Central data layer with a risk and finance data model
- Calculation engine
- Reporting layer with analytics
- Stress testing and reverse stress testing
Pricing and Support
Quoted. Available on-premise or as SaaS.
7. CCH Tagetik
Financial performance management with pre-packaged regulatory content, from the same parent as OneSumX.
Compliance Coverage
- FINREP and COREP
- Lease accounting (IFRS 16 and ASC 842)
- IFRS 17 Insurance
- Solvency II
- iXBRL
Reporting Capabilities
One platform for consolidation, close and regulatory reporting, with mapping from multiple data sources and reconciliation between FINREP, COREP and IFRS reporting.
Pricing and Support
The “paid version starts at $50,000.00” line previously published here is not a figure Wolters Kluwer publishes, and it carried no unit — per year, per implementation, per anything. It has been removed. Pricing is quoted.
8. AxiomSL, formerly Adenza, now part of Nasdaq
Adenza no longer exists as an independent company. Nasdaq completed its acquisition on 1 November 2023. Adenza’s two products were split across Nasdaq’s divisions: Calypso went into Capital Markets Technology, and AxiomSL — the regulatory reporting product relevant here — was merged with Nasdaq’s anti-financial-crime solutions to form its Regulatory Technology unit. The adenza.com domain now serves Nasdaq content.
If Adenza is on your shortlist from an older comparison, you are looking for AxiomSL from Nasdaq.
Reporting Capabilities
- Data integration across source systems
- Data dictionary support
- Web-based interface
- Inventory and workflow management
- Audit trails on submissions
Pricing and Support
Not published, and now quoted through Nasdaq rather than Adenza.
9. SolarWinds Security Event Manager
A different animal from the rest of this list: a log management and SIEM tool that produces compliance evidence rather than filing regulatory returns.
Compliance Coverage
Reporting Capabilities
- Built-in compliance report templates
- Customisable dashboards
- Real-time event correlation
- Scheduled report generation
Pricing and Support
SolarWinds shows a “Starts at” label on its page with no figure attached, and routes buyers to a quote. The “$4,665 to monitor 30 nodes” price previously published here could not be found on the vendor’s site and has been removed. Note the unit if you do get a quote: SIEM tools are typically priced by nodes or data volume, both of which grow.
10. ManageEngine Log360
Log management and SIEM with a broad set of prebuilt compliance reports.
Compliance Coverage
- PCI DSS
- HIPAA
- FISMA
- SOX
- GDPR
- CCPA
Reporting Capabilities
- A large library of predefined compliance report templates
- Customisable dashboards
- Real-time correlation and alerting
- Scheduled reporting
Pricing and Support
Quoted on the number of resources and network size.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
| Advantage | Description |
|---|---|
| Fewer manual errors | Automated validation catches problems before submission |
| Rule tracking | The vendor follows regulatory change, which is the recurring cost you are really outsourcing |
| Audit trail | Defensible record of who changed what |
| Efficiency | Less of the compliance team’s month spent assembling returns |
Disadvantages
| Disadvantage | Description |
|---|---|
| Opaque pricing | Every vendor here quotes; you cannot compare without sales calls |
| Implementation cost | Often a large multiple of the first year’s licence, and usually separate |
| Complexity | Data mapping from source systems is the hard part, and it is your job |
| Lock-in | Once your returns are built in a platform, moving is expensive |
| Ongoing maintenance | Regulations change; so does the configuration |
Final Thoughts
Two practical points for anyone shortlisting in this category.
Ignore any price you read on a comparison page, including the ones this article used to carry. Every vendor here quotes, and quoted prices depend on entity count, data volume, jurisdictions and modules. A figure without those variables attached is meaningless even when it is real.
Check the vendor still exists under that name. This category consolidates constantly — one of the ten companies listed here was acquired and absorbed within two years of the original article being published.
When you do evaluate:
- Match regimes first: the list of returns you actually file rules out most vendors immediately
- Ask about regulatory updates: how quickly new rules reach the product, and whether that is included
- Price the implementation separately from the licence, in writing
- Test data integration with your real source systems during the trial, not with sample data
