Like

Best thing about Persona is that it is so easy to set up, meaning it is a simple and straightforward process. The result of verification also comes right away so no need to wait at all.

I really like how it supports multiple documents which makes it reliable to use and also the real time verification through picture keeps things more valid. The commands to verify are very clear and simple so no issue at all.

Like

I like how it makes the identification verification much easier and smoother, also it supports multiple types of documents which is really helpful and makes it great for global use.

Dislike

Sometimes it mistakenly false flags the real person as a fraud which can cause a bit of disturbance and it needs clear images of the documents if the mobile does not have a clear camera it can cause some issues.

Dislike

Sometimes I notice it is a false flag, the real identity which causes manual verification so the process can get lengthy.

Dislike

Sometimes it is a false flag, the real identity which cause a bit of an issue and in that case troubleshooting it takes time and effort.
