SentryFirm review
A staff-centered intake workspace with secure uploads and structured follow-up.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SentryFirm is a web-based client intake and document collection system for small law firms. It combines public, mobile-friendly forms with secure supporting-document uploads, letting clients submit details and files without creating an account. Staff work from an admin dashboard with authenticated access, controlled file downloads, status and priority tracking, assignments, follow-up tasks, internal notes, attachment management, and audit history. The product fits firms that need a shared process for collecting information and chasing documents after an initial submission.
Pricing has two components: one-time setup and recurring monthly charges. Guided Setup costs $1,000 one time and $250 per month, covering one intake workflow, practice areas and custom questions, staff access, uploads, upload-later links, hosting, maintenance, and routine support. Workflow Plus costs $2,000 one time and $400 per month, adding multiple workflow variations, more detailed configuration, additional staff onboarding, workflow refinement, and priority support. Tailored SentryFirm Portal costs $4,000 one time and $650 per month, with a tailored portal or dashboard, deeper customization, and automation or integration planning. The published pricing structure is suited to firms that value vendor-supported configuration and can budget for both setup and ongoing service.
Its strongest focus is the document follow-up workflow. Upload-later links give clients a way to provide missing files after the initial intake, while staff can assign work, track status and priority, add notes, and review activity history in one workspace. Controlled downloads and authenticated staff access support internal file handling. SentryFirm is a sensible fit for staff-led intake where documents and follow-up are central. Firms that require verified signatures, payments, or ready-made integrations should choose a product built around those capabilities instead.
