"Very good and accurate"
5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

Precise and fast response is what we are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

take some time to load from the customer side of filling form out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that SheerID allows your team to be more efficient and provides accurate data.

We would love to gain a little more insight into your comment about long load times for consumers. Customers typically love that their consumers never leave the brand site or need to set up a separate SID account - for this reason, the consumer experience is seamless and transparent and one of the best parts about SheerID. And because we have a high standard of fraud security, the form that consumers do fill out requires specific inputs for verification, and unfortunately, that may result in added fields for consumers but increases fraud controls for you.

If you have any further concerns, we'd love to chat – feel free to send your request to advocate@sheerid.com. Thank you!

"Great First party data service"
4/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

A streamlined verification process that is easy to orchestrate. REST API service gives us the control over the UX and overall technical solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

For an international implementation such as ours, long lead times to fix translations across various locales is cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Thank you for the review. We truly appreciate your partnership and are glad to hear that the REST API gives you the versatility and customization you need for your brand.

SheerID is all about continuous improvement, so I will make sure to pass on your additional feedback on international implementation to see how we can optimize this process and reduce fix times.

We look forward to working with your team to help build more targeted, personalized campaigns in the future and across all geos!

"Very easy to use and work with"
5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

It is very easy to get set up with SheerID and I think that they are very easy to work with. We don't have to micro manage our account, and we rarely get any complaints about set up from customers. Think that this is a very seamless set up process, but if we run into issues, our campaign managers are very helpful with solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

I think that there are limitations in terms of granting discounts to some members that don't meet their criteria. For example, only teachers of middle school or above are eligible, so not preschool or elementary school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

We are glad to hear implementation was smooth and the support you've received from our team has been exceptional. The team is thrilled you have created a strong loyalty program amongst teachers, medical professionals, and the military through the use of SheerID.

Thank you for your feedback on limitations. We want to clarify that teachers K-12 are supported in the U.S. For those outside the U.S., we cannot do K-12 yet, but we continuously invest in both our product and team to better meet our customer's needs and will note this ask for future roadmap planning. For preschool teachers, we do offer the Professions community data in order to verify (see resource link). Please reach out directly to me or your CSM to ask how to get started.

We greatly appreciate your continued support and business.

"Mostly provides accurate data"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

The auto-verification is most helpful to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

Lack of sales representative to help provide updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Thank you for your review. It's great to hear that your team is seeing value in the product by helping verify students for your offers.

We do provide dedicated reps based on the package you selected. Packages range from Pay As You Go, which is self-service, to Starter, which is best for smaller businesses, all the way up to Enterprise - which delivers the most features and the highest support levels.

If you'd like to explore changing your package to receive more support, please send your request to advocate@sheerid.com. Thank you!

"Sheer ID - great user experience!"
5/5

It's a very user friendly experience for our users to verify their identification and since the implementation of Sheer ID, we've seen significant improvement in user engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and work with."
4/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

I like the support provided and the level of communication with our reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

Mostly - pricing, especially the original renewal offer. Reporting probably could be a little more customizable, however this is not a key issue for me now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! It's great to hear that you've had a positive experience working with the SheerID platform and team. We look forward to continuing to help you provide special offers to multiple communities. One thing to note on reporting – we have started rolling out monthly key performance notifications to the primary account program owners to help be more proactive (in the meantime, I've linked to how you view these directly in your dashboard). We'll continue to add more automated insights to add value and make your team more efficient!

"White-label solution for ID verification"
2.5/5
What do you like best about SheerID?

SheerID's model allows for us to control the overall user experience and branding. The SheerID Client Delivery team we were paired with for our first project was great to work with. They were responsive and open to our needs and designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SheerID?

SheerID lacks detailed and robust technical documentation. SheerID only communicated high level, happy path specifications to us resulting in many changes to our architecture and logic along the way. When our project completed development, SheerID transitioned us from their Client Delivery team to an ongoing Client Success team. At this point, the responsiveness and quality of work and interaction decreased significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Crystal Anderson of SheerID

Thank you for your feedback - we take this as a learning opportunity for internal process review and optimization.

We want to apologize for any service issues you experienced with the Client Success team. We find this is typically one of our strengths mentioned by other customers and look to gain back your trust in our services. We are currently scheduling a larger meeting with both teams to determine the appropriate measures/solutions for a healthier partnership moving forward.

On the note of having technical documentation, we do offer all documentation (from beginner to advanced topics) on our developer site (linked below). We will revisit our internal process to ensure we are prescribing clear action plans during the onboarding phase and beyond.
