DataSnipper Reviews

“Great for internal auditing, but to use it properly, training is required

It is not a con but a kind of wish to have the ability to snip entire tables and customize the columns and rows on my own.

“Improves work efficiency

Pros

I really like the Snip tables feature! It makes it very easy for me to add tables for creating lead schedules and casting financial statements quickly. It is a huge time-saver and really helpful.

Haven't encountered any issues yet. Maybe I still need to explore more features.

Cons

DataSnipper sometimes struggles to read certain words and may incorrectly detect them.

“Simple to use

Pros

DataSnipper offers a convenient way to extract information from any digital source and convert it into an editable format.

Cons

I have no additional suggestions. I will just like to encourage your team to continue making the tool more interactive and intelligent.

“Outstanding functionality

Pros

I find the document matching, text snip and sum snip functions to be highly useful.

Cons

The file size increases when we upload the documents for data snipping. And at times while working with a large number of documents, it causes Excel to slow down or become unresponsive.

“Ideal for simplifying audit paperwork

Pros

DataSnipper software is easy to use, compatible with different systems we have and delivers fast and efficient results.

Cons

DataSnipper uses its own formatting, which annoys me when working on large files. I feel like it should only highlight the selected content, while the rest of the formatting remains the same as the cell. Additionally, after deleting snips, it sometimes disrupts the formatting and doesn't revert it to its original state.

“Data Snipper – an excellent tool

Pros

Data Snipper has been a game-changer for me, as it eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces the time required by 90%. It also eliminates human errors. In short I absolutely love Data Snipper and I will definitely be recommending it to all my colleagues and friends. Its that good!

Cons

Occasionally, the table snip feature may slightly disrupt the formatting. Other than that, nothing else comes to mind so far.

“highly reliable

Pros

The financial statements suite is excellent I would say mainly for casting and cross-referencing.

Cons

I don't have any specific concerns to mention.

“Speeds up the audit process

Pros

This software is unbelievably user-friendly and easy to implement. It has significantly sped up our audit teams' testing and vouching processes with external documents. We rely on it for various aspects of the audit process and other areas of our practice. We are thrilled to have found this product!

Cons

So far, we haven't encountered any issues when using this software.

“Data Snipper maximizes productivity

Pros

I have definitely saved a lot of time with this app. And I highly value the OCR functionality, the ability to copy from the clipboard, document matching and sum snip features.

Cons

It highlights the selected number in Excel but doesn't automatically navigate to that exact field. Having a button functionality for this purpose would be highly beneficial.

“Standout in the crowd

Pros

Well we have noticed a big decrease in the time needed for vouching and reviewing financial statements. Plus the financial statement suite, including PY, footing and version control is exceptional.

Cons

It slows down Excel, and it's not easy to insert workpaper references during financial statement tie-out.

“Update regularly and is free from bugs

Pros

DataSnipper is really easy to use and saves us valuable time. Also the software is regularly updated with bug fixes and new features which makes it the best among other options available.

Cons

Occasionally, certain "snips" stop working, and we're not always sure why.

“Incredible but Zoom lessons were not enough

Pros

The automated features of this tool were incredible. They allowed me to complete detailed testing within an hour, giving me ample time to conduct a thorough examination of all aspects without any time constraints. Being able to search for specific sentences in a 100-page document and extract that information onto my working papers was extremely helpful. Additionally, the ability to add validation checks to the reviewed information was a major plus.

Cons

The zoom lesson was a bit too quick, but after I watched the recording multiple times, it became much easier for me to manage DataSnipper.

“Top-notch tool

Pros

I found the product to be incredibly easy to use, and its most important feature was the ability to extract data from various sources.

Cons

I can't think of any disadvantages. It's highly useful.

“Very beneficial

Pros

The convenience of not having to go through a separate process to link documents to Excel was a great advantage of DataSnipper. It made it simple to import documents, extract information from them, and link that information directly to where it was found. This feature has been extremely helpful for audits.

Cons

The process of deleting snips can be a little tedious, and one thing that frustrates me the most is when it appears that the snip has been deleted but the link still seems to be present.

“Amazing

Pros

This tool has made my work a lot easier than before and I couldn't be happier with it.

Cons

I don't have any cons to mention at this point.

“Reviewing Audit Workpapers

Pros

The most impactful feature for me is DataSnipper's ability to show the source of numbers and words. This is essential when reviewing audit workpapers prepared by my staff. With this function, I no longer need to search for tickmarks in the evidence documents. Additionally, DataSnipper is intuitive to use, making it easy to teach my staff how to utilize it.

Cons

Although Table Snip is a powerful feature, I believe there is room for improvement. If there was an option similar to Text Snip that could indicate the source of numbers and strings, it would greatly enhance work efficiency. Currently, I achieve this by combining Table Snip and Document Matching, but I wish Table Snip could accomplish it in one step.

“Happy user

Pros

It's user-friendly, fast, and can extract information from different types of documents. One of the best aspects is that it maintains the link to the original source of the data, allowing for easy verification if needed.

Cons

I don't have anything to mention for this specific requirement (cons).

The internal consistency check and comparison to prior year figures are quick and invaluable for error detection. They provide a level of accuracy that surpasses manual reviews.
