User reviews

Menüführung nicht optimal

die Menüführung ist manchmal irreführend und nicht plausibel. Um die Datenübernahme früherer Eingaben zu umgehen, sind viele Schritte notwendig, die nicht auf den ersten Blick erkennbar sind, sondern erst bei Elster nachgefragt werden müssen.

So sollte es immer sein

System ist supereinfach in der Bedienung und wohl auch sicher . So macht Digitalisierung Freude.

Digitale Finanzverwaltung

Elster Secure funktioniert hervorragend – die Einrichtung und Nutzung liefen reibungslos und zuverlässig. Ein sehr gutes Beispiel für eine moderne, funktionierende Finanzverwaltung und gelebte Bürgernähe. So sollte digitale Verwaltung aussehen

Gute Idee

Schnell u. Gut

Noch unübersichtlich

Ich muss mich noch an die Handyversion gewöhnen, ich empfinde sie unübersichtlicher als die Web-Version.
