-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

Saves so much time with switching between documents and tracking exact locations where changes happen.
Ability to use pdf's within excel and track changes with just one click!
It's crashed a few times here and there but never an issue getting it to restart or redownload

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

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.

Implementing the tool was quite easy. The whole DataSnipper-Team is very helpful and has quick response times
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.

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?

Definitely changes the way I would work on my audit engagements. Massive leg up from doing things manually. Great software to use.
The text recognition feature is really good.
Customization is less, I would like to be able to choose the font of the input.For Tables, only 1 cell is linked to the source document, I would like for that to be the full table (so anywhere I click on the table, I am able to view the source file). Also, would LOVE the ability to link cells to documents manually.There should also be a default option to keep the data snipper window closed until required when a file is opened.

We are able to manage time and reprioritize Resorces to optimize client satisfaction.

Great so far, a great time saver and accuracy checker for the team
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.

DataSnipper has significantly decreased our total cost of Audit processes, bringing automation, standardization, and cutting-edge technology, leveraging Azure OCR.
DataSnipper is a simple yet sophisticated platform to speed up our audit time which gives us the time to aggregate more value to the customer.
The deployment process for huge environments. I feel a lack of info regarding distributing the software itself using different deployment tools.
