    Nord Security
    It is cheap enough and handles the very basic functionality we need from it fairly well. Since we can pay based on a per-user license and invite guests to lockers, it is far and away the cheapest option for End to End Encrypted file transfers from employees to HR/Management

    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.

    • 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.

    Nord Security
    Cheap and able to scale based on number of users needed at a given time. Not locked into a fixed user contract. Most other services also don't actually have zero trust zero knowledge end to end encryption, or it requires stepping up to a more expensive enterprise version. Purpose built for our basic needs

    Return on Investment
    Nord Security
    • We cancelled DocuSign largely because of NordLocker which has saved us thousands.
    • We also no longer host an AWS GovCloud instance which is not as expensive but also requires VPN traffic and licensing.

    • 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
