(Original )Information
What do you like best about Astrella?

Our implementation representative, 'Angela', deserves high praise. She has consistently exceeded our expectations. The product itself is remarkably user-friendly compared to others we have tried, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

However, Angela's assistance has elevated the overall experience, making it not only more pleasant but also highly efficient. Once again, we cannot express enough praise for both the product and our dedicated, helpful, and friendly representative. With her assistance, the ease of implementation has been remarkable and refreshing compared to other software experiences we have had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astrella?

We have nothing negative to say. The experience has been overwhelmingly positive, surpassing any other we have had. We have not identified any negative aspects so far, which is a highly commendable compliment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astrella solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have tried 2 other equity management platforms before coming across Astrella, one, is a very well-known name in the industry and around the world. Comparatively, Astrella exceeds them all by far.

We encountered difficulties onboarding onto the other platforms, eventually leading us to cancel those products. Astrella has addressed every problem we've encountered with equity management.

The ease of use is refreshing and makes it a viable offering for our company. Now can now actually manage our equity programs - Thanks to Astrella, and our Implimentation Representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astrella?

First - implementation. As I am administrator of the system data implementation was the main thing I needed to do. I received really great help and istructions/trainings how to do everything. Onlny problem we had was connected with award letter view, but Astrella team helped us with this.

Second - Platform. It is quite easy to use and intuitive for both - Admin and employee view. It could work faster, I think.

Third - I like customer support, quick and really helpful.

I can't say anything about integration yet - we only have plans for this for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astrella?

Problem with mobile app (some bugs on Android)

no proper Audit report (where I did what changes, and who was removed from the system with employee details)

Bad format of numbers in report (it's easy to fix in excel but annoying). I shared this problem months ago and still the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were using a law firm to manage our cap table. By moving to Astrella, we were able to take over this function and save significant money and offer a better epxerience to our investors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astrella?

We were looking for a platform to do our Cap Table on that was affordable, LLC friendly, and easy to use. Astrella checked all those boxes for us and more. The Astrella team was great to work with as they met our needs through out the process. The customer support is great and always very helpful in addressing our needs.

What do you dislike about Astrella?

Astrella may not have the brand recognition or all the features as some of their larger competitors; however, for a small start LLC they meet all your needs at an affordable price that is unmatched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astrella solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we got Astrella we were doing all our equity management on an excel sheet. This method worked at the beginning, but as we grew this method became very ineffecient. Astrella provides us with the tools to do equity management in an ineffecient and easy way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astrella solving and how is that benefiting you?

Astrella is a tool used for equity management and cap table administration. Some of the problems it helps solve include:

Equity Management: Astrella streamlines the management of equity and stock ownership for a company. It simplifies the issuance of stock options and equity grants and keeps a clear record of who owns what.

Cap Table Management: Astrella provides an efficient way to manage and update a company's capitalization table. It ensures that the ownership structure is accurately reflected.

Stock Option Administration: The platform helps with the issuance and administration of stock options, making it easier for employees and stakeholders to manage their equity compensation.

Compliance and Reporting: Astrella assists with regulatory compliance, including keeping records of securities transactions and aiding with financial and tax reporting.

Investor Relations: It helps with communicating and reporting to investors and stakeholders, providing them with insights into equity ownership and returns.

Valuation and Financial Modeling: Some companies use Astrella for financial modeling and valuation purposes, helping them make informed decisions based on their equity data.

The benefit of using Astrella is that it simplifies complex equity management processes, reduces the risk of errors in cap table management, ensures compliance with regulations, and provides a clear view of equity ownership. This can be particularly valuable for startups and private companies looking to manage their equity-related matters effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astrella?

The customer service was second-to-none. Angela V was the most helpful of professionals, going above and beyond to help us launch under a tight timeline. Additionally, once launched, the system is user-friendly, with great UX. I am very excited for what this means to our employees and their experience. Thanks again, Angela!

What do you dislike about Astrella?

I think it would be helpful if Astrella let Administrators plug in awards before entering the Award Date, so they could be drafted along the way while waiting for final approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transparency for our employees in their vesting and the legal documents (Shareholders Agreement, EIP, etc.) that apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astrella?

Astrella offers a highly cost-effective solution that competes favorably with established industry leaders such as Carta. We have gained access to their software and received a valuation that is priced at less than half the cost of the software alone compared to what competitors offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astrella?

I am currently in the process of addressing some operational issues. While the user interface appears to be relatively intuitive, there are occasional challenges in comprehending the reporting and dashboard functions. Furthermore, adding new users can be problematic on occasion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
