## Shareworks by Morgan Stanley Reviews
  ### 1. Share works of Morgan stanly

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2024

**What do you like best about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

I really like ShareWorks because it helps me know my stocks value realtime. I am just a new user of Shareworks  but its very helpful in a way that I did not have to focus on checking day and night about my invested stock. It makes the job investment procedure easier and least risky compared to other investment platforms that I have tried and until today I still didn't understand their overall mechanics. The fun of investing a percentage of my salary through stocks provided in Shareworks makes it worthwhile and as well as less risky.

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

With the overall structure of Shareworks, I can say that it is an easy platform to invest however maybe due to my lack of knowledge so much about investing in stock, the screen looked crowded especially when it was my first time accessing it. There was so much information on it, and that confuse me a lot as a beginner. Nevertheless, the more time I access the platform, I started to understand the significance of each number and indicators in the platform

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shareworks has been really good for me. It helps with my investments, especially in investing stocks that are available in my employers side. It makes it less stressful to think of possible loss in high risk type of investments. Since the investment is automated, I didn' have to check the stock matrix every now and then and figure the best time either buy or sell. I love the dynamics of how my hard earned salary to be in good hands.

  ### 2. A bit clunky

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

It shows the value of my portfolio in various currencies.

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

It's a bit clunky and suffers from the classic branding problems of large corporations. For example, the phone app is called Shareworks, but the web app is called Solium. It gives the impression of investing the bare minimum to maintain a brand identity. If that's what Morgan Stanley believes is passable for their products, it casts doubt on their care for more important areas such as cybersecurity.

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing private shares from an employer.

  ### 3. Confusing user interface for shareholders

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cap table management, employee shares

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

Gives a clear record of all your future vestings. Also supports currencies other than USD. The iOS app works decently well.

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

The form to set up a foreign bank account is confusing and time consuming. Would be much better if they would provide interfaces to search for the required information.

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shareworks is the single platform for RSUs and ESOPs. The interface is reasonably good, but the commission they charge is a bit high.

  ### 7. Shareworks - Mobile Friendly

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

Not a  whole lot -more education inside the app could help too, but in generally they are pretty useful

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2021

**What do you like best about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

Intuitive, easy-to-use interface that shows pending anniversary dates.  Easy secure access through our OKTA single sign on the platform makes it easy access on any device.  Also gives easy access to stock RSU grant documents.

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

No way to project stock price for unvested RSU's.  It would be nice to be able to allow individual users to project these.

**Recommendations to others considering Shareworks by Morgan Stanley:**

Nothing to add.  This is a solid tool that delivers on what it is built to do.

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking RSU anniversary dates and quantities is made easy with this tool, as well as a good, easy-to-access place for RSU documents.

  ### 10. Share-based compensation administered in an efficient and effective way

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David O. | Corporate Accounting Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2020

**What do you like best about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

Shareworks managed our application-to-payment (what I will term our A2P process)  promptly, ensuring no value was lost by benefit holders due processing delays. This was critical as I have personally experienced how much value can be eroded from equity instruments over a few days due to avoidable delays.

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

I loved every bit of the application. I only regret that I didn't get to use Shareworks long enough because companies in a certain industry were excluded from the list of customers served by the owners of the application

**Recommendations to others considering Shareworks by Morgan Stanley:**

In allocating the task of share-based compensation administration, Shareworks takes the chunk of the "work". You just do the easy part; click the buttons!

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shareworks competently handled:
-Sensitive records of awardees including SINs/SSNs, grant dates and award history etc
-Monthly expenses computation and accounting journals were available by the click of a button
-Correct deductions for taxes and statutory payments were withheld
-Prompt remittance of proceeds
-All audit schedules and tables for financial reporting were readily available

user accessibility, ability to 'model exercise' for employees.  good support

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

grant modifications can be difficult and sometimes require a support ticket

**Recommendations to others considering Shareworks by Morgan Stanley:**

This is a solid product for private companies and checks all the boxes for company needs and provides a good experience for your employees.  It seems like they are headed to the public company area as well and they should do well there - especially with MS as their (relatively) new owner.

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

we moved from excel, this was problematic for all the usual reasons with excel.  It was great to be able to share with Law firm and investors to keep all in sync.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed by:** Tanner L. | Director Of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

Capshare means we can type in a name and see everything on one screen.  All stockholders and option holders can access Capshare and see their entire file, documents included. 

I love that Capshare was built specifically for private companies like ours so we don't have to deal with the complexity of systems that are also built for public companies. 

But I also love knowing that when we outgrow it, we will have a smooth transition to their public company platform on Shareworks.

The live chat support is phenomenal. They are responsive, smart, and getting answers is easy.

**What do you dislike about Shareworks by Morgan Stanley?**

Setup was pretty smooth,  so far I don't have any true cons.

**Recommendations to others considering Shareworks by Morgan Stanley:**

Great product and great team.  I loved working with them and they offered us everything we needed.  We shopped around for a few different products as well and felt like this is exactly what we needed and at a much better cost.

**What problems is Shareworks by Morgan Stanley solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Capshare as our system of record to store and issue shares electronically. Our cap table was getting unruly and since moving to Capshare managing our equity has been relatively easy. I do sometimes run into things I don't understand but it's easy to get fantastic help on chat support. We also use Capshare for our 409A valuations. It's been good.

Updating capitalization tables for companies.
