Managing this system in such a manner that it provides and meets the perspectives and wants of all divisions is possible, and it will develop with the company. The customer service is top-notch; calls and emails are promptly replied to, and any problems are dealt with immediately. > > **Cons**: Accessibility and observing difficulties might arise when upgrades are performed. However, they are usually rectified promptly. In many cases, we cannot provide creditors with a connection to Starta because the control system does not fulfill the bank's security regulations. > > An easy-to-use tool that lets us keep track of all of our settlements and validate data documentation. ----- ### "STARTA is a fully functional data base with great flexibility to customize any process" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *17 November 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Many pros, the controls you can put in place, security, the flexibility to customize any function to your specific need, easy access from anywhere to name a few. This system will grow with the companies grows and can be managed in a way that gives and will meet all departments views and needs. The support is the best I have had, timely returned calls and emails and when there is an issue it is immediately addressed. > > **Cons**: At our company we have an unusually high amount of files to store and that has slowed the system down when you are accessing the files. When accessing anything else there is no delay. Starta support team are working on finding a better and faster way for us to access our files so I expect this to be resolved in the near future. > > I used Starta when I was with a different company when we first implemented this Data base, so I have some experience before now. We have to have a way to pull data out of our documents and Starta makes this happen. Prior to Starta all our information was in a Document which was very inefficient and not cost effective. Starta is solving those issue and we pull our data info useful and real time dashboards and modules. ----- ### "One of the customer rep has been great to work with. Very responsive and willing to work through our issues." — 4.0/5 > **Jim** | *17 November 2017* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The logic of the software. It is easy to understand where you are within the system. Additionally, it is easy to navigate to different areas. I also like the ability to quickly view the contents within a folder. > > **Cons**: The property look has an older feel to it. That is more preference vs. function but I am sure that this has an affect on new or potential customers that are seeing it for the first time. > > I don't have to use the Box anymore. ----- ### "Starta is easy to access and use and has great features we love\!" — 5.0/5 > **Carrie** | *20 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What we like most about Starta is how easy it is for new users to navigate the site with minimal guidance. New users both inside and outside our organization always remark on how easy it is to access the system and find and download documents. It's intuitive and well organized. The daily email notice of new uploads is really helpful, and having the ability to upload large files that we couldn't otherwise email is a huge plus\! Customer service is quick, friendly and always available when we need it. > > **Cons**: When updates are run it sometimes creates access/viewing issues, but they typically are resolved quickly. We work with lenders frequently, and often they cannot access Starta due to something in the system's configuration not meeting security protocols for the bank. ----- ### "Starta offers a simple project management application that is 100% customizable for your business." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 March 2018* | Higher Education > > **Pros**: Foremost, Starta is very easy to use. It is intuitive and organized so that you can easily find files, documents, photos, or anything else you choose to upload. It also features a cabinet structure that is 100% customizable so that you can always find what you are looking for right when you login. Another great feature is the ability to set multiple levels of access to your system so that sharing across multiple employees is simple. Compared to similar software systems I have used, Starta is hands down the most effective and efficient way to organize, share, and find information within my business. > > **Cons**: Since Stara is still being developed, it is not yet able to be easily integrated into other systems yet to automatically pull information. For example, it cannot pull data from Peoplesoft, so there is time involved in collecting and importing initial data into Starta. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/28313/starta?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/28313/starta) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
