## Reviews

### "Difficult company to deal with" — 1.0/5

> **Walter** | *9 December 2021* | International Trade & Development | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: On the surface, the software provided most of the functions needed to run a small business.  The software and hardware were relatively easy to set up.
> 
> **Cons**: The company made massive changes to their software in the past that resulted in partial and sometimes complete yearly data.
> 
> Loss of data. Customer support was extremely slow and we were required to deal with customer support in the Phillippines that proved to be unhelpful.  Eventually, the support team gave up on the problems and we were obliged to revert back to dealing with the corporate management.  The data was lost and was never recovered.

### "Great if they allowed software not in the cloud" — 5.0/5

> **Ginger** | *16 October 2018* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The scanner software is great and the documents scan well
> 
> **Cons**: They no longer support a software and want you to store all your scanned documents in the cloud.  We only store on our firewall protected server.  I'm not paying for document storage so we will use the old software until it will no longer work.

-----

### "Unfair Business" — 3.0/5

> **Marcelo** | *25 July 2024* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good invoice cloud storage and ease to use
> 
> **Cons**: removes features after you sign up for an annual subscription and does not refund money for features that are no longer provided
> 
> I have used Neat for many years and approximately 3 years ago I upgraded my subscription to be able to use the QuickBooks connection desktop, my subscription was renewed in February 2024 and on June 15 2024, Neat removed the QuickBooks connection, so I requested to make a downgrade my subscription because I don't see the point in paying for a plan that I don't need, and they informed me that they will not refund my plan because it has been more than 30 days since my subscription was renewed, so Neat stopped providing a service in the middle of my subscription and I am forced to pay for a service that I am not receiving, this doesn't make sense, maybe this is a way for the company to make money. In the end, they want to offer me a discount on my renewal in February 2025, this is ridiculous because if I don't renew my subscription I have paid for a service I didn't receive.

### "Recycle your documents and keep an archive on your computer\!" — 5.0/5

> **Emily** | *20 July 2019* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the fact that it can scan double-sided documents without any more effort than single-sided documents.  The fact you can scan a variety of sizes from checks, regular paper, to business cards is amazing.  It doesn't take much desk space, which is a major plus.  It's been helping keep our office organized and help save the planet so that we don't have to keep drawers full of papers, we can scan, recycle, and move on.
> 
> **Cons**: There's nothing I don't like about it.  Like all other pieces of technology, you may have errors, but those are easy to fix with a re-scan or a simple reboot.
> 
> It's solved storage space problems with various documents.  We keep copies of agreements, employee paperwork, checks, and etc.  We used to have huge file cabinet drawers full of various paperwork, however, once we got this software and scanner, we were able to recycle all the documents and organize everything in our computer system in the office.  We have cleared up so much storage space using this software alone.  This also is more reliable as well, as we are able to look up anything we need and need not worry about losing anything important.  It's been helpful to us if we have to look up something for our clients instead of having to sift through papers.  It's made customer service a whole lot easier.    The organization is simple with this software as well.  You can have it stored on your computer and use whatever method of organization you like.  If you don't have this, I recommend it.

### "Best serive EVER\!" — 5.0/5

> **Hersh** | *15 November 2019* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have never ever come across such a flawless experience. Their clean webpage, the efficiency of opening a bank account, the security entailed in it, the professionalism of their compliance, and most of all their exceptional service.&#10;You can reply to generic emails they send you, you can contact them on the webpage with any question and they will be there for you. They will get back to you with links and solutions etc.&#10;Again, their service is amazing and I am sure anyone will be extremely satisfied working with them.&#10;they have a deal with stripe where new startups don't pay stripe fees.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't explored thier integrations yet. Once I do I will update.
> 
> Running a bank account with a bank that is actually there for you and is extremely proactive.
