## Reviews

### "Great Team, Strong Functionality" — 4.0/5

> **Devina** | *24 February 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Caruso has been great to work with. The team is highly solutions-driven and supported us throughout the entire onboarding process. The platform offers strong functionality, is intuitive to use, and has made both implementation and ongoing use straightforward for our team and clients.
> 
> **Cons**: The onboarding process took longer than expected, and we had to revisit a few steps along the way. Clearer upfront guidance on the documentation required from our previous registry would have helped avoid some back and forth.
> 
> Overall, it has been a collaborative and positive experience. While there were some delays during onboarding, the team was consistently supportive, responsive, and proactive in providing solutions whenever issues arose.

### "Excellent fund administration platform - great value and user experience" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *22 October 2025* | Venture Capital & Private Equity | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The value for money is outstanding compared to traditional fund administrators. Caruso has an elegant, intuitive interface that makes daily fund operations genuinely pleasant to use. The core functionality - investor onboarding, AML/KYC compliance, document repository, and investor communications - is executed exceptionally well. The platform clearly focuses on getting the fundamentals right, and it shows in the quality of the user experience.
> 
> **Cons**: As the first VC fund to onboard with Caruso, we've encountered some features that are still being developed for the venture capital market. The platform was primarily built for real estate funds, so we occasionally need to apply workarounds for certain VC-specific workflows. However, the Caruso team has been very responsive and collaborative as they expand their venture capital capabilities.
> 
> Our experience has been excellent. The fundamental capabilities are rock solid, and the team's responsiveness gives us confidence in the platform's evolution. For VC funds comfortable being early adopters and working collaboratively with a responsive team, Caruso is an outstanding choice.

### "Strategic Enabler" — 5.0/5

> **Bruce** | *13 November 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We love the investor portal - it allows us to communicate with our investors more often and with greater impact. Its inbuilt flexibility give us confidence if will be for purpose and our product offering expands. The efficiency gains evident to date will allow us significant growth, without the operation overhead increases.
> 
> **Cons**: As a relatively early adopter some modifications were required to meet our needs. Having said that the team were very response in providing those solutions.
> 
> Excellent Communication. Intuitive user experience. Very solid reliability. It will become a strategic enabler for us, not just a back office tool.
