    Carta is perfect for any sized organization when shares and stock options are in the picture for new/seasoned employees alike. If a company does not provide these benefits to employees, it may not be the best fit for them unless there are other value-adds the tool can provide in other areas.

    Junxure is great for any office just for tracking and transparency alone! I think the earlier you start using it in your business the better. This will create good habits for the employees to start using Junxure instead of their email and chat features. These take up so much time. Time equals money! This also allows you to see the status of any project or client without having to contact fellow employees. You can even see their email correspondence, therefore, if someone is sick you do not have to call them to find out what is going on with that particular client or task.

    • Clients can log in to view their investment statements. This is a timesaving benefit, as clients won't have to ask you every time they want to see how their money is performing. Being able to self-service will make your clients feel more in control of their money.
    • Being cloud-based means that the workflow monitor can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Nobody will forget important tasks as everything is being tracked. This allows staff to work from home and communicate with other employees with ease.
    • The pending action screen will allow you to reduce your to-do list and keep it in one central, accessible place. Workflow will see a major improvement!

    Cons
    Carta
    • Still some issues with the auto-generated Excel file for stock calculations that required correction by technical support.
    • Could offer integration into accounting platforms or HR/payroll platforms to further cut down on manual input.
    • It should allow for custom user creation to allow for varying levels of access based on role in the company; currently, all security roles in the platform are out of the box without any modification allowed.

    • Their integration options are a little limited compared to Redtail and SF. This has never caused an issue, but it may force you to think creatively at times.
    • Not the cheapest option, but not the highest either. I would say it has an ok price, but pays for itself. May not be right for people struggling through their first solo year.
    • I would like to see them add new features a little faster. Seems that updates are few and far between. It's a growing industry, and we need new tactics to stay ahead of the robo options coming on the market.

    Junxure is a wonderful tool and is easy to use. Once you get your team to work with Junxure more than they do chat, email etc., it will work well and save a lot of time.

    Because it is simple to use, I have never experienced any issues or bugs while using it and I have not heard anyone else having issues with it either. It simply works.

    Support Rating
    Carta
    Every time I have sent a message to Carta's support team, they've responded within 2 business days. The support team is very helpful and always has answered my questions competently and professionally. Many of my questions have also been answered through their extensive support articles. Carta makes available a lot of information that has helped reduce te administrative work of answering questions for our employees as they are able to get most of the information they need through Carta's website.

    Alternatives Considered
    Carta
    I was not personally involved in choosing Carta over any other platforms. However, I can say I'm very happy with Carta. Carta allows for a central place to manage stock options from multiple companies and is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. With Carta being a market leader, it's nice to find new employers already using it as well.

    I do not particularly remember the system I entered above, as I only used it for temporary work that I did nine years ago. I did not select Junxure myself - the office I work in already had it implemented before I came on. This question does not seem to be applicable to me.

    Return on Investment
    Carta
    • If a company's cap table is wrong that is legally considered fraud ( yes, a capital F fraud ), as in there could be criminal repercussions, and almost assuredly whatever transaction that requires it to be accurate will be canceled.
    • Compliance is a major factor when it comes to having a stock option plan. Carta is the best I've seen at keeping a company in compliance.

    • It has saved time by automatically capturing emails.
    • It has created efficiency from having to keep track of tasks manually or keeping power documents around.
    • It’s definitely worth the cost through all of the efficiency our firm gains. The ability to send work actions to teammates depending on their responsibilities is greatly helpful!
