## symplr Access Reviews
  ### 1. Symplr access is easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kortney F. | Nursing assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022

**What do you like best about symplr Access?**

symplr access makes it easy to check representatives in that are coming in to assist the doctors with the equipment for surgeries. When they swipe thier ID badge, all of the information comes up and you only have to verify it is the correct person.

**What do you dislike about symplr Access?**

The only issue ive ever had with symplr is that the card reader that the reps use to swipe their card to check in does not always work and then we have to manually enter all of the reps credentials into the system and make sure the information is correct.

**What problems is symplr Access solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Symplr access is allowing the reps to check in for the surgery they are coming to assist with and the doctor they are supposed to be with. this allows us to keep track of the reps and see who was in and assisting the doctor with the procedure. this is helpful if something were to go wrong, so that we can go back in and look to see who the assisting representative was.

  ### 2. It gets the job done.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2022

**What do you like best about symplr Access?**

Symplr helps keeping order in our hospital, it allows reps to request appointments and gives us the option to decline or approve easily.  There is a mobile application that helps tracking what appointments are on your calandar.

**What do you dislike about symplr Access?**

All in all it works well, the website is a bit generic and the mobile application has hardly any functionality.  I would prefer the appointment not be voided if a visitor is running late and misses their timeslot, it causes for more work on my end to submit or approve another appointment.

**What problems is symplr Access solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Symplr allows administration to track what reps are in our facility and how long their visit will be, giving us more time to handle our day to day tasks without interuption.
