"An innovative client interaction gimmick"
5/5
What do you like best about Suralink?

You no longer need to wait for clients in person when dealing with time zone differences. Easier to use and integrate client provided documents with their responses on chat. We can reject and re-request items if we are unsure of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Suralink?

In my opinion, the interface of Suralink is not very user-friendly. I feel it could be more refined and intuitive. At the moment, I struggle to navigate between multiple client files efficiently. Additionally, there is no feature to indicate unread responses, which makes it harder to keep track of updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We no longer need to wait for client calls or emails to request documents. Instead, we can simply create a request in the Suralink space for the relevant client at any time of day. This allows us to receive responses from the client without having to interact with them directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Suralink's user experienced is very streamlined, easy to use, and simple for clients to use as well."
5/5
What do you like best about Suralink?

I like that Suralink is not overly complicated, and is very accessible for almost all of our clients who have varying levels of technological experience. It helps keep audit requests in one place, and allows straightforward project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Suralink?

Some of our clients have had issues with the Multi-Factor Authentication, and it eventually locks their accounts, which causes hiccups in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps our team keep track of all of the requests that we receive for our audits, which makes each audit year after year go much more smoothly. We can see the different reports and documentation that we received in the prior year's audit, and roll those requests forward to the current year audit. This makes our communication with the client much more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience So Far with Suralink"
5/5
What do you like best about Suralink?

The best thing about Suralink is having all the client dialogue and exchanges of document requests and documents delivered in one place. Also that it is easy to access and accomodates multiple client users. Also the ability to download all the documents at once in various file tree structures. Also the added Secure Send built in allows me to put a link in my emails and provide to anyone to send me files securely (and for me to send them files securely though links). Also, this secure send is built into Outlook through an Outlook Add-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Suralink?

Only real downside is that it isn't integrated with our existing document management/storage system. So we have to download and transfer files to our other systems like Smartvault and AdvanceFlow for example. But Suralink doesn't hold itself out to be a document management/storage system - it's more of a workflow tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having all dialogue and client deliverables in one central place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great UI for Large Clients, But Needs a Simpler Option for Smaller Ones"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Suralink?

Great UI for larger clients. Easy to see progress and statuses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Suralink?

No current way to scale down for simpler clients (like tax). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helping out Audit team with their data requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Pam Baumeister of Suralink
Edit edit

Thank you for this, we really appreciate the detailed feedback. It's great to hear the UI has made tracking progress and statuses easier for your larger clients, that's exactly what we've built it for. You're also right that the experience today is designed with more complex engagements in mind, like audit, and we know that doesn't always translate well for simpler workflows like tax. We're taking this straight back to the team working on this. Thanks again for taking the time to share it.

"Very organized - easy to communicate with clients."
5/5
What do you like best about Suralink?

As an auditor, our responsibility is to deliver an organized request listing to the client detailing all the items needed to conduct the audit. Suralink does a great job of making everything neatly organized and easy to understand. If there are any follow-ups, I can directly communicate with the clients using the Suralink site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Suralink?

Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to add a new client to the portal. That's moreso on the client to gain an understanding of the website. Besides that, no issues! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is organizing all requests for audit purposes. Instead of hundreds of back and forth emails with numerous attachments, it houses all necessary documents on one page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using suralink in M&A transactions"
5/5
What do you like best about Suralink?

suralink helps a lot to reduce the time spent during the information-gathering process in an M&A transaction. Its practical download functionalities, practical traceability, dynamic comments and organization help a lot in a process where time is crucial.

In addition, the reports generated by the platform are very useful for facilitating communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Suralink?

We face some language barriers with non-native English speakers and I feel there is room for improvement in the way requests are created and updated.

The two-step verification process via Autenticator was also a problem in some cases due to organizational constraints, I would recommend checking other ways to perform the two-step verification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
