## Carta Equity Suite Reviews
  ### 1. Love it

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Charles A. | Chief Executive Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

Takes away all my cap table management pain

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Onboarding was slow and cumbersome. Would like it to be less US entric (i am in the UK).

Would also be great to be able to paper rounds (gather signatures from current shareholders) within Carta.  That would change the game for me!

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

Don't try and implement in a hurry!

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Great for employee option schemes. 

Board meeting feature could be richer

  ### 2. Carta Is A Lifesaver

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

The user interface is simple and easy, so managing our securities, cap table, etc. has been far less stressful than it otherwise would be.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

The platform could use more inline user support -- e.g. tooltips, links to support or informational documentation. I am managing equity and cap table process for the first time, and extra information is helpful to be confident everything is accurate.

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

If you are looking for a platform to self-manage the securities of your business, Carta is a great solution to help organize and streamline the process.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Carta has simplified an otherwise complicated and intricate set of processes and documents.

  ### 3. Amazing tool that takes out all the pain out of managing your cap table

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martin R. | GMAT Coach and MBA Admissions Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

The easy-to-use and intuitive interface as well as the wide variety of reporting functionality. Also, it seems like Carta really listens to customer feedback and continues to implement new features that really add value.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

I really can't think of anything I don't like.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We do our whole equity management in Carta, i.e. stakeholder management, cap table management, 409a valuations, stock option expense accounting, etc.

  ### 4. Great solution for managing/viewing your stock options

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2019

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

I really like the vesting schedule that is visible on Carta. It is clear, easy to understand and very detailed. I like that it breaks it down on a monthly basis to see how much you've vested already and you can also see what remains. The mobile app is great, as well! Works so well that I find that I rarely need to log onto the desktop version of Carta. Very well done with the app.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

As states previously, I almost exclusively use the app and not the desktop version It has what I need, but it does seem kind of bare (almost too bare bones). But, I like the simplicity, so it's a trade-off, I suppose.

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

I highly recommend Carta to others -- it is the best software out there for keeping employees informed of options that have been vested and remain to be vested. 

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously, it was not easy to find out information on our vesting schedule. Carta has solved all of those issues and we are very happy with it.

  ### 5. Fine for Cap table but questionable business practice

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brett K. | COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

The service makes managing your cap table pretty easy. They do not have a great support system, but their platform is easy enough where you can figure out how to manage your documents.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Carta raised pricing on us by almost 10x without warning or explanation. When asking them about this, they basically dismissed my frustration with the way they went about charging us by essentially saying they dont want me to be frustrated but there's nothing they can do about it. 

Let me note that with this new price increase I was never sent a letter or email letting us know that our price would increase. Additionally, they did not send any receipts to our account and the only way I found out about the charges was that I happened to be doing our books.

Unfortunately, this is not a company you can trust. We are, essentially, stuck at this point because we simply do not know what to do to manage the documents that we had entrusted to them when we first started our company. 

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are trying to solve the problem of issuing vesting stock options to new employees on a small scale, and managing our cap table and document storage.

Good stock management software that provides an unified interface to everything relating to stock and awards in the company.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

Carta is a very tech-friendly and intuitive tool to use from both an administrative and end-user perspective, which has significantly helped our team in administering equity compensation.  Additionally, the support team whether it's via a chat, email or phone-call has always been quick and efficient.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

We haven't utilized the 3921 support due to the high pricing.

Simplicity and the resources provided to better understand your options

I think the onboarding staff is great. We worked with Kimber and she could not have been more patient and helpful throughout the process.

Cap table management. It's been nice to have things update realtime

  ### 24. Powerful cap table management software for mid-size companies

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

Carta can easily handle all of our all cap table management needs. By far the best feature is the Customer Support Team. They have friendly and informative staff that will answer most if not all you questions instantly through their live chat or by email. User interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Accessing data is fairly straight forward. Issuing option grants to employees is a breeze; fill out the information on a downloadable template and import it directly to Carta. Carta also offers 409a valuations.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Some reports that are created from Carta can be extremely large (over 20 MB's) so if your computer does not have enough memory, accessing the file will make it crash.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We no longer need to manually update and reconcile our cap table on a spreadsheet. Carta manages it all.

  ### 25. Simplified Option Tracking and Expense Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark P. | VP & Controller, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2018

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

We have been using Carta for 4 years and have been very pleased with it. Makes option tracking, expense reporting and 409a valuation tasks easy and under one platform. They have also continued to improve and enhance the software over those years.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking stock options, calculating stock option expense, and obtaining affordable 409a valuations. Carta has solved all of these problems for us at an affordable rate.

  ### 26. A good alternative solution than using Excel and manual labour

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kingsley C. | Director of Finance, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2017

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

I find that the user interface is one of eShare's strong point. Nowadays, everyone wants user friendly and simple to navigate platforms, which eShares has achieved. Both from the administrative perspective and the user side it has an easy to use platform. The system's capability of handling multiple investors and stock options makes eShares a must. Their cap table is also top notch, simple and easy to export and send to investors.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

The price is a big high in my opinion. There was hesitation of bringing it on board as the questions regarding stock options from employees are the same quantity, but it has helped the exercise portion of employee stock options very well. One thing I don't really love about the system, and perhaps its because I never looked into it too closely, but the lack of integration into payroll for deductions for ESOP exercises. Compared to Solium's platform, which is more expensive, that is one thing I missed.

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

Price is the biggest determining factor. Excel and a bit of labour can do what eShares does, however in our world of automation and delegation eShares is a good solution. The setup portion is quite time consuming, but that is no different from building any equity cap table. 

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

From the Employee Stock Option side, we have used eShares to manage the option program giving each option holder the ability to go in and check their own option plan. From a cap table perspective, I really enjoy the tools they've put together for this making every investor request and audit request a breeze. 

  ### 27. Slick platform for managing equity grants from employers

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Antonio P. | Director of Customer Success, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

Quick and easy management of startup equity grants

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Not all terms are defined in enough detail for equity neophytes. 

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Equity grants from my employer (startup). 

  ### 28. Not very intuitive, not great support

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2017

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

It's obviously much better than having this data on an excel sheet. For the employees, it's a much better experience, as it allows them to see their shares and vesting period.

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

It's just not very intuitive. During and after tender offers, we faced some issues with the platform that the support team wasn't very proactive at helping with. They made some mistakes and refused to admit to them, which makes our job frustrating.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy visualisation of shares for our employees, actionable process of tender offers.

  ### 29. Good way to manage shares

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

Easy to use, good way to track the progress, constant notifications 

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Nothing really in particular. Maybe it’s new name Carta is not as clear anymore and when they were transitioning there were some interruptions.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is difficult for our employees to understand and manage their SAR and eshares helps a lot to have self service there.

  ### 30. Their pricing went from 99 dollars to 3000!!!  Terrible experience with sales team

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2017

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

The user interfaces was ok, as good as captable.io but exponentially more expensive

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Terrible experience with sales and the pricing going from 99 to 3000 dollars!

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

it did a decent job of managing the cap table

  ### 31. Easy Access to Company Shares

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taylor H. | Support, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2016

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

I like the ease and access to eShares. I can log in at anytime and check my share status. My employer has generously offered us company stock and we use eShares to track vesting and share price. I'm sure I will use eShares even more as I stay with our company and have more shares vest. This is a great way to visually see the benefits of working at the company i'm at.

The interface is pretty easy to use as well!

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

Not much to dislike here. It would be cool to show a vesting calendar so users can get an idea of when their options will become available. Besides a little bit of product robusting, this product is very good at it's intended purpose. It's simple and maybe a bit too simple. 

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

This product makes it easy to show employees their company shares, what has vested and what option shave been exercised! All in one place.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company didn't really have a way to show and deliver company shares from our incentives program. We do now! eShares gives every employee we have quick and easy access to their company shares.

  ### 32. Great Software to manage Options

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adam D. | Enterprise Success Coach, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2016

**What do you like best about Carta Equity Suite?**

Eshares is great if I ever want to check up on my options, and I like that I have a dependable site I can trust. Their Support team is very helpful, and their site is very straight forward. 

**What do you dislike about Carta Equity Suite?**

The site can be a little confusing to use, especially on the back end. That being said, I am not an investing expert, so maybe this just isn't mean for me. 

**Recommendations to others considering Carta Equity Suite:**

Their may be better options out there, but eShares was at the right price point for our needs.

**What problems is Carta Equity Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company would not be able to mange the weight of managing all the employee's options if it were not for eShares.
