Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews.

What do users say about Ciphr?

Sometimes support tickets which require a more complex solution can take time to resolve but where I have raised this with my customer experience manager, these will get escalated and reviewed so it's just about having a good line of communication and making sure they are aware of your priorities.

Integration rating: 4.5 (2)

“We required a simple one stop shop for employees to access the expenses system via the Ciphr environment. Webexpenses works well enough but the integration with Ciphr could be better.”
