DataSnipper

The must-have tool to boost my productivity in audit and finance

Comments: What stands out the most is its ability to automate repetitive tasks. Before, I spent hours manually extracting and cross-referencing data, but with this tool, I can accomplish these tasks in a matter of minutes.

Pros:

What I liked the most is its ability to automate repetitive tasks and speed up my productivity in audit and finance. With just a few clicks, I can extract data, cross-reference, and document the source of any procedure quickly and easily.

Cons:

One of the drawbacks I have found is that at times the data extraction can be a bit limited in terms of the variety of formats that can be parsed. Sometimes when working with more complex files or databases, I have experienced difficulties extracting certain specific data.

Efficient

Comments: Overall, it very useful and efficient to use.

Pros:

It helps users save time of copying and pasting data from pdf to excel file. It makes the work more efficient.

Cons:

When having big multiple files imported, it slows down the opening of workpapers.

Not impressed

Pros:

It's a cool tool to attach documents to a working paper with easy referral to the desired place in the document.

Cons:

The data recognition gave me many discrepancies that I couldn't use the tool to check the relevant data

Datasnipper is worth it!

Comments: Datasnipper solves the time problem in audit by eliminating the need to capture support manually and also human error where mistakes are made when documents are captured. These documents are imported and the detail thereon is either extracted or snipped instead of being captured manually by retyping from physical documents. Which saves alot of time and also does not leave juniors stuck on tasks for hours and hours.

Pros:

Datasnipper eliminates phantom ticking - one of audit engagements worst threat (the threat that an audit member will state that it is correct without checking the support or substance) Due to the ability of the software to import the support and then allow the manager to check it that what is tested is correct is fantastic. Also significantly reduces capturing errors made by junior staff when capturing a lot of support.

Cons:

Some features are not available and require additional expansion or products to get the use of the functionality. The standard model is great but is not really competing with all the additional features that are available and you are limited to the subscriptions purchased by the organization as a user.

Great tool

Comments: Very good experience.

Pros:

Easy to use, very fast and gets the job done.

Cons:

I liked the full package. No dislikes. I think that the tool has every characteristic required from such tool.
