Pros and cons

Encyro has been an excellent addition to our office. There has been ease of mind that important information is being shared with in a secure and safe manner.
This is an affordable and effective way to send and receive secure emails and documents.
Sending and receiving secure email is very important. I have confidence in using Encyro.
I have to simply send another document with a note that the previous one is in error, and they can delete it themselves if they so choose.
I have had these e-mails get caught in a client's spam filter before. Customer Service gave me quick, simple instructions to pass along to them, though.
Also, when you send a client a document, it goes into their account and I have no access to their account.

Encyro the excellent solution for this CPA

Reviewed 2 years ago

Great experience. I can quickly and easily send my clients documents with permanent future access to all documents I have sent them.

Pros

The program has a fairly short learning curve. When I finish a tax return, I can quickly upload it to Encyro. When I press send, the client receives an email notifying him/her that a document is available for download. I can included a note the length of my choosing which will be viewable when the client goes into Encyro. I can also includ a note the length of my choosing that will be visible...

Cons

They recently launched esignature capability. It is a good feature, but one problem is that there is an esignature button that the client sees when he goes into Encyro. Unless I have created an esignature document for the client to sign, the button is useless. The client does not know that and will sometimes click on it thinking they can initiate an esignature document. I would that feature happen...

Vendor response

Thank you for your detailed review and for your suggestions. The option to retract a previously sent document will become partially available with our "Delete for all" feature but it will only delete the message for the recipient if they have not read it yet. The ability to do more housekeeping on the client's account is something we need to design for (have noted this new requirement). The ability to e-sign an incoming document without a request is also on our list.

Pros

Easy for clients to upload files and files are secure.

Cons

New users can't see previously uploaded documents. It's not clear to recipients that they can open documents without creating an account and establishing a pw.

Vendor response

Thank you so much for the review and the feedback regarding the client experience. Some clarifications: Users cannot see previously uploaded documents if they do not have a password (we cannot give access to sensitive files without a password or an expiring email token). If they do have a password, then the uploaded documents are accessible to them in their account.

Great Tool for Sensitive Info

Reviewed 2 years ago

My tax software offers all of the items that Encyro does, but they aren't nearly as easy to use. I will continue to use Encyro for all of my accounting and file sharing needs.

Pros

I use Encyro to communicate with tax and bookkeeping clients. It's easy for parties on both ends to use. I don't hesitate sending confidential information in messages and clients feel relieved knowing they can share sensitive information safely.

Cons

It was easy to incorporate into my business, but the one thing that I'm not crazy about is how the contacts files are organized and how the messages are viewed. It would be helpful if the interface was more like that of actual email.

Vendor response

Thank you for the review. More flexibility will be coming in the way the files and message are displayed by next year.

We are adding a feature to archive messages (in addition to the delete function already available): that will let you clear out the primary view but still retain a copy of the old messages. This feature is expected to be available by early 2022.

Simple Soluiton To A Complex Problem

Reviewed 2 years ago

We were getting quotes from file sharing providers and secure email attachment vendors in the thousands of dollars which included funcitionality which was overkill for what w e needed. Encyro was easy to set up and manage.

Pros

Very easy to use when interacting with clients. No need to send passwords to clients who forget how to login.

Cons

I'd like to have an email I send through Encyro show up in my Sent mail insetad of needing to login to Encyro to find an email I sent.

Vendor response

Thank you for the review and feedback. The encrypted emails are purposely not saved directly to the "sent Items" folder because the email folders (including the Sent Items folder) tend to get synchronized to all your devices where you access email, including your smartphone or home computers. We want to avoid the sensitive information from being stored on those devices. If using the Outlook Addin, you do have the option to see a copy of the sent notification in the "Sent Items" folder and then simply click the Decrypt button to view it (you do need to be logged in for that). There is an option to save the message to a PDF file as well in addin versions v1.29 and newer.

Great product...could be improved on

Reviewed 2 years ago

Like it a lot. they seem responsive with any issues and do look to improve services over time.

Pros

I like Encyro a lot. has used other and they always have tech issues while Encyro does not. Encyro also seems to improve over time such as adding the e-signature feature this last year. The one area that would need improvement is audit trail which is why I can only use for tax clients and not for financial clients (strictly speaking).

Cons

Audit trail is not something available and would be helpful for security aspects.

Vendor response

Thank you for your kind review and support. Audit trails are available on the Settings page in the Compliance section. Kindly review these instructions to view the available audit trails - https://help.encyro.com/article/104-how-do-i-see-my-account-audit-trails-activity-logs (go to help.encyro.com and search for "audit trails"). Please do let us know if you were looking for some other or additional information in those trails. E-signature audit trails that record e-sign related information are saved along with the signed document. The above settings option is only needed for your account activity audit trails.

Wonderful Tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

The ability to securely transmit tax and financial information with clients has been a tremendous benefit and time saver (especially during the pandemic). Add in the ability for tax clients to e-sign their documents... they don't have to come in person... I LOVE Encyro, I don't think I could do without it now.

Pros

The ability to transfer tax information in a secure environment is priceless; add in the ability to capture IRS approved digital signatures - it's a winner!

Cons

I have used it quite a bit this last tax season and adapted to using it how it is, I have not given much thought to what could be improved, as I was very happy to find it!

Best Encryption Service Available!

As a mortgage broker, I am required to obtain sensitive documents from my clients such as tax returns, bank statements, W2's, etc., many of them which contain social security numbers and other personal data. To be able to offer this service to my clients is what I've wanted for years, and one that is especially user friendly as many of my clients are elderly and somewhat technologically challenged.

That it is very easy for my clients to use, and it add professionalism to my company to be able to offer an encryption service for them to send my sensitive documents.

We have some suggestions under the Troubleshooting section on our help website to help avoid that (help.encyro.com and search "Outlook troubleshooting").

Encyro

Reviewed 2 years ago

Positive. I am at my one year anniversary of using Encyro, when I was considering it's use, I sent many trial secure emails to various customers and clients and asked for their input. They found it pretty simple to use from their end and I've had no complaints during the year.

Pros

The ease of use. Depending on the time of year, I send many, many emails to clients and customers with sensitive, personal information. I also like that they can reply with a secure email.

Cons

I do have some insurance carriers who either will not or can not open my secure emails. In every case there is a workaround in that the carrier has their own secure system that can be used.

Vendor response

Thank you for your kind review and for sharing your clients' experience as well. Some insurance companies have automated systems to extract attachments from emails and those only work if the file is sent as an email-attachment (not a secure method). Glad to hear that they do provide their own secure option in those cases.

Simple For Clients to Use

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

I love how clients are easily able to upload files without having to create an account. How this is secure and I am able to also securely send. Also, how the signature function is built in is great for me being a tax practice.

Cons

Having signature boxes being intelligently added. Every time I upload a new 8879 or engagement letter to be signed I have to manually choose where to put the signatures

Vendor response

Thank you for the review. To avoid having to add "signature boxes" manually on every new 8879, please see the steps to save a template (dynamic file option) - that way you would be able to upload a new 8879 for each request and the signature boxes, reminder settings etc. would appear automatically from the template. Steps to save a template are here (remember to set "Include File" to OFF in Step 7): https://help.encyro.com/article/183-save-templates-for-electronic-signature-requests

Perfect for a small business

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Nice to have a file sharing site that connects seamlessly with my e-mail (Outlook) as that's how most people share files anyway. Clients can easily send me files right from a link in my e-mail signature and I can send files securely straight from Outlook, too - All without a huge cost or setup.

Cons

I have had these e-mails get caught in a client's spam filter before. Customer Service gave me quick, simple instructions to pass along to them, though.

Vendor response

Thank you for the review. Spam filters are never perfect and can sometimes catch perfectly legit emails. We continue to keep up with changing email requirements to reduce these issues. Encyro has been an early adopter for DMARC enforcement and VMC, which many large email service providers are in the process of adopting. This will hopefully help to reduce spam misclassification in the future.
