"Inconsistent Verification, Missed Discounts"
5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

I like the fact that SheerID is making it accessible for students to get discounts. It works for a lot of other people, like my friend who's in another university in my country. I think it's the only good solution on the market. It is a very good solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

I really hate that SheerID doesn't work for me, even though I had a student email. I'm not a US student, and it has never worked; it always does not approve me. It's supposed to give me access to student discounts, but it doesn't solve the problem for me. Some of my friends in other universities in my country have been able to get discounts, but not me. Even when using my student email, it still doesn't work. I wish the user experience were better, so it could more clearly tell what is needed for approval. It would be nice to have warning signs if something isn't going to work or get approved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not collaborated with some Indian colleges, which causes others to face problems during verification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Horrible support system, poor communication and its been 2 weeks and no fixes"

What do you like best about SheerID?

Fast when it works. But, absolutely horrendous support system when things aren't working, sent multiple follow ups, still haven't gotten a response and it is still broke. Its been 2 weeks and I seriously wish I had gone with a different service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Disappointed in SheerID"
0/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

Their support team responds in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

I am extremely disappointed with my experience using SheerID. There are several critical issues that have left me frustrated and dissatisfied with their service.

Lack of Transparency:

One of the most glaring problems with SheerID is their lack of transparency. Important information is often hidden or difficult to access, leaving us in the dark about key aspects of the service. Clear and open communication is essential for trust, and SheerID fails miserably in this regard.

User-Unfriendly Dashboards:

The dashboards provided by SheerID are hard to use. Navigating through the system to find necessary information is a cumbersome and time-consuming process. A user-friendly interface is crucial for efficient operations, and SheerID does not deliver on this front.

Lack of Accountability:

SheerID does not take accountability for their mistakes. When issues arise, they are quick to deflect blame rather than addressing the problem head-on. This lack of responsibility is unacceptable and creates additional stress and complications.

Poor Monitoring and Alerts:

SheerID fails to monitor our account effectively and does not alert us to platform stability issues or fraudulent activity. This oversight puts our organization at risk and undermines the reliability of the service. Proactive monitoring and timely alerts are essential for maintaining security and trust, and SheerID falls short in providing this crucial support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

I don't feel there are many downsides, however I sometimes find that the verifiers need to be coached on some of the documents that we accept. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
