"Opened our business to a new customer base"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

SheerID has wonderful support. Using SheerID has allowed us to verify accounts easily and opened our business to a new customer base. Set up was quick, and the support we have received along the way is exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

SheerID can get pricey. We had a bug with our verification system for quite a while. We fixed it! But I wish we would have realized it sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sadie Warner of SheerID

Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to provide your feedback.

It's great to hear you've had great support from our team! We love hearing that setting up your program was fast and that you had a successful launch. It is a pleasure working with you and we look forward to our continued partnership.

Ew! Bugs! We also wish it could have been fixed ASAP. We hope that our product support team collected your feedback, classified the bug, and made a net for you and others for better detection and extermination. Our team is always looking to optimize the platform and the overall SheerID experience, so your feedback is truly appreciated.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Martijn! The SheerID team is thrilled to hear you are seeing such success with student/GenZ programs and are over the moon with the partnership we have established with LinkedIn!

As we continue to invest in the SheerID platform, we will continue to work with brands to understand how to optimize the platform to make it a more seamless experience for your team and your consumers. I'll make sure to pass your feedback on to the product team about SSO.

"Set it and forget it"
5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

SheerID has been great on our site. We set the program up and now it works for itself with little to low maintenance on our end. Our account manager has been super helpful and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

I don't have anything to dislike. One area of improvement would be getting best in class recommendations from the SheerID team since they know of all the different brands that use SheerID. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does what we need"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

Verifies our instructors quickly and efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

Not as much messaging provided to users on documents they are allowed to upload. This messaging also cannot be updated by our teams internally, unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sadie Warner of SheerID

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

It’s great to hear that the verification process for instructors is quick and efficient! We hope this allows you to make better use of your internal resources while allowing your customers to gain access to materials quickly.

We noticed that you feel that user messaging may not be specific enough and that your internal teams cannot make any updates. We are happy to update messaging on your behalf if you’d care to reach out to our Product Support Team for assistance at productsupport@sheerid.com.

Please note that SheerID’s document upload messaging aims to provide users with multiple options for documentation so that they can decide what they are comfortable sharing. It’s also important to note that schools and other institutions provide a wide variety of documents so it’s helpful to not be restricted to specific types.

SheerID only requires that documents are authentic and show the required details for verification. In the case of faculty or instructors, this includes the user’s first and last name, the name of the school they teach at, and a date to show that their status as an instructor is current.

Looking at the upload instructions for your program, we can see that besides these basic requirements, your company also provides several specific document examples for instructors. These suggestions should be incredibly helpful for your customers. SheerID also provides examples in the FAQ that is linked to the form that you can share with instructors: https://offers.sheerid.com/sheerid/help-center/.

Thank you again for providing valuable feedback on your experience with SheerID. Please let us know if you’d like to make changes to the messaging within your user flow, we are more than happy to help!

We’re happy that you’re pleased with SheerID’s performance to date, and if you have questions or constructive product feedback we would love to hear from you.

Thanks again for your time! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything more we can do.

"Sheer ID is a valuable asset to our strategy in targeting specific audiences."
5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

Their Sheer ID support services, along with their simple and easy-to-follow documentation. They are superb in communicating new initiatives, workshops, and there's a great atmosphere within their organization of bouncing ideas with other brands/companies that use their services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

There was a lot of back/forth communication before we went live, but after it was a bit of dead silence (minus the promotional emails and workshops). However, I would have liked more post-launch or post-implementation resources, case studies, and how to maximize the product post-launch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Thank you so much for sharing your experience working with our platform and team. We're glad to hear that you were able to achieve value right away with help from our support and implementation departments and have been able to scale and expand your student/educator programs through our solution. In regards to the additional resources, please see our resource center (link below) - there are a ton of use cases, best practice guides, and analyst reports to dive into and learn more!

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Carmen, thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you've had a positive experience working with the SheerID platform and team and are gaining value with your Identity Marketing programs.

"Incredible add to our marketing program"
5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

SheerID has allowed us to grow our subscriber base tremendously through different targeted segments that align with our brand. We did a full RFP before starting this program and SheerID blew the competition away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

Nothing on the SheerID side, I believe all our hiccups have been with the inflexibility of our own systems. I do wish it was easier to rollover verifications year to year Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

The entire SheerID team is excited to hear about your experience and success! We're happy to hear that SheerID came out on top during the RFP process and hope we continue to meet your expectations during your 2023 programs.

Our team always welcomes constructive feedback on the platform and pricing - I'll make sure to pass on your comment about the rollover verification process and see how we can make it a smoother, easier transition.
