MacDroid vs. Suralink

SuraLink makes perfect sense for a CPA firm that works with a number of clients. It provides easy access, and well-presented display of each client and the corresponding files provided. The security of the files is also imperative for sensitive client information. The format of the portal also allows for ease of understanding which files coordinate to what requests. This is in contrast to a something like a "drop-box" in which it is simply a list of files. This may not be the proper product for a smaller operation that only seeks secure file transfers on a non-regular basis. Additionally, for the smaller organizations, the cost may be prohibitive for little to sparing use. In those situations, a more simple secure file transfer options may be more advantageous.

Incentivized

• Live open items list for both the engagement team and the client
• Secure file transfer with ease and customization for alerts
• Optimal encryption for data security and safety

Incentivized

• There seems to be a number of situation in which the site is down or experiencing difficulties. This makes it difficult to work with clients and obtain documentation.
• When uploading a large volume of workpapers, there are occasions in which some or all of the files will not upload properly. This creates additional back and forth and frustration with the client for re-requests or follow-ups.
• The email notification alerts could be stronger in how they are displayed and how the changes/updates are utilized.

Incentivized

• Positive - Significantly reduced time searching for files that correspond to audit requests
• Positive - Reduced time creating list(s) of open items or documents that remain needed from the client, as the portal serves as a "live" request list
• Positive - Integration with EXCEL for PBC lists of items needed, which removes the need for a special format list to import correctly
