DataSnipper reviews

Financial statement suite (PY, footing, version control)

Slows excel, can't easily insert workpaper references during FS tie out.

The comfort of find all sums and to search words in a document

Document matching is not so useful as i thought because it's demand similar template for each document.

Easy to use across all situations and software's, and very fluid to use day to day, in particular my role creating working papers.

Nothing to note, datasnipper does exactly what is expected of it

The software is very easy to use and implement. The way that the software helps our audit teams speed up testing and vouching to external documents is amazing. We use the software in all aspects of the audit process and other areas of our practice. Glad we found this product!!!

We have not come across any cons to using the software yet.

Easy to use; makes life easier for an auditor; allows perfect cross referencing; all documents are collected in one excel-sheet --> very easy to review to work papers

Slows down the response times of excel-workbooks due to the embedded documents

Easy to use and saves our time.They also keep updating the software with bug fixing and new features.

Sometimes some "snips" stop working and we don't always understand why.

Most impactful feature for me is DataSnipper can show where the numbers/words come from. This is critical when I review audit workpapers prepared by my staff. By this function, I don’t need to search tickmarks put in the evidence documents.Also, DataSnipper is intuitive to use, so it's easy to teach staff how to use it.

Table Snip is a powerful feature, but I think it could be better.If there is an option like Text snip that can indicate where the numbers and strings are coming from, work efficiency will be greatly improved. Currently I achieve this with a combination of Table Snip and Document Matching, but I wish Table Snip could do it in one shot.

vouching documents and linking them together to perform data analytics was made easier and more accurately recorded amounts.

snipping manually amounts especially if there are numerous documents to filter

Data extraction, vouching and referencing.

It makes my system and excel hang and slow when I import like 2 folders into my workpaper.

Datasnipper allows everyone to work faster through testing in audit. Whether it's using it for manual snips to avoid typing, or using document matching or form extraction to pull information quickly from hundreds on invoices... Datasnipper is a time saver for all parties from staff to partner.

Not much, I think they need to publicize training videos or make more of them so people understand how to use it more. I've been teaching alot of poeple within my firm personally. I want everyone to use it!

It is highly efficient to use for making cross references for test work, matching documents, reconciliation and financial statement process in audit procedures. Good text recognition!

1. The table recognition function could be enhanced, especially when the table is in two pages of one pdf. There are occasions that the recognition would miss a line near the broken page.2. Text recognition for long paragraphs now show in one cell, would be great if it does the formatting directly as well. But this is minor issue.

Ease of use, functionality, storage, user friendly

Some excel glitches causes it to crash, bug fixes to cover this

-Datasnipper saves so much time when casting accounts, and comparing to prior year figures as most of the work is done for you -Really good for importing figures from PDFs where it's not possible to copy and paste things accurately, such as lists or split columns

-Doesn't always pick up all of the information or may set it out weirdly (but this is easy to adjust)-Can take some time to get used to

The convenience of bathprocessing and cutting out time in the time spent to draft and gathering all information.

When you have alot of files in batch processing it takes a bit longer for it to populate

Makes the job quicker and easier to review.

That when i use document matching on f.example. dates, if many invoices have the same date, one document gets all the snips. Maybe there could have been a place to "hook" that you want max one snip per document when you use document matching?

Snipping data for direct audit trails...

More financial statement review functionailities

Saves time in matching data to source documents and importation of data from underlying sources to perform further calculations on.

Nothing comes to mind. I have no other comments to add here.

The table function is amazing really convenient when snipping from PDF and scanned documents.

When opening the excel file the document stored takes awhile to open.

The internal consistency check and PY figures check - very quick and useful for checking for errors and more accurate than a manual review

The export of version comparison - It is not so easy to review when exported into excel. The export of the PY comparison checker is a lot more useful. The casting of sums is also inconsistent. Sometimes it does not recognise columns with totals casted sideways across the page.

Datasnipper enhances operating efficiency and simplifies control system within our Firm.

We had not experienced any issues with installation and implementation of the software. Few demonstrations were sufficient in order to apply in everyday procedures.

I like the gain of time that Datasnipper permit to reach

Sometimes datas move between the columns

The features of data snipper has actually made things pretty easier for the audit procedures and honestly has reduced alot of efforts of the staffs like us. specially the table snip which helps us prepare the clericals super faster than before.

Ofcourse we always have some improvement points but i cant think of any currently so far it has been good. thanks.

I like it that DataSnipper allows you to export data on .pdf files which have the same format.

I have been trying to export data on .pdf files with different formats, but haven't had much luck yet. I know that it is one of the features of DataSnipper. I just haven't had time to look at the videos to learn how to do this.
