Comments: Archiving and Metadata management are the reasons for client's purchase of the product. Clients that are using the product are satisfied.

Pros:

It is a software that I call biggest game changer as far as getting the same quantity and quality of results for desired management information in Archiving and metadata management. The ability to integrate Microsoft Office documents, accept all electronic files, flawless file imports makes it a software that is taking us to paperless office data banking.

Cons:

The use of workflow details and SMS alerts is something we are anticipating will happen soon

Established, Mature, and a Fantastic Value

4.0 8 months ago

Comments: Our companies have been using DocuXplorer as a primary document management system running on-premise for around 20 years. Throughout this period I have watched the software evolve, supporting future operating systems and adding in new useful features all while sticking to its fundamentals as well as providing the same, high-level support that's only available from smaller businesses. If the feature set meets your expectations, I can assure you of its reliability!

Pros:

DocuXplorer is a very affordable, easy to use, and powerful solution for managing documents and files with an excellent support team that has your back. By mimicking the file tree concept from Windows, DocuXplorer is extremely easy to navigate. Folders can be organized using "index sets" that allow you to set customizable fields such as integer, date, text, version, and more. Support for scanners requires no additional drivers or software to use and the search function is lightning fast. Scanned documents are stored as TIFF files which allows for small file sizes and a host of editing and markup tools similar to Adobe Acrobat. Printing or sharing documents via export or email can be done in just a few clicks.

Cons:

Restoration and archival tools would be a vast improvement for on-premise administrators. Occasional issues with server to client communication resulting in cryptic error messages presented to users. Please note that an on-premise DocuXplorer solution requires high-speed local network access - it will not run over a VPN or any other platform other than Windows.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your insights and experience working with the DocuXplorer team for over 20 years! I’m happy you’re satisfied with our evolution, expanding into automated business processing and utilizing the latest technology. Concerning restoration and archival tools, DocuXplorer offers granular restore capabilities on the cabinet, drawer, and even document levels. Many clients utilize our Secure Backup service for a hands-free approach to this. I’ll be happy to share more information to perform this on-prem. And you’re right, by providing taxonomy services we ensure data is organized efficiently, providing fast access no matter how large the system gets, avoiding the need for an archival process. When it comes to a remote connection, while we do have clients utilizing VPN successfully, we’ve seen the best results from RDP services as documents and data are never transferred, providing speed and security. All my best, Allie

A great product with lots of purpose

Cons:

I have an older system and there are times that it runs slowly although this usually can be remedied by support.

Robust and Secure Document Management

5.0 8 months ago

Pros:

DocuXplorer has great flexibility in designing document metadata. We store all sorts of disparate documents: employee personal info, technical/mathematical, hardware manuals, etc. The metadata for these are markedly different, requiring their own taxonomic definitions.

Cons:

It took a while to get comfortable with the user interface. Also, the Windows client software is sluggish when used through our VPN.

Accounting's View

Comments: Overall I think DX is a nice software. It is easy to use, we are able to use it with our accounting software, and the DX team is very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Integration was rather easy. The technical support team is very knowledgeable. The product is easy to use and has nice features.

Cons:

We wish that there were excel/csv capabilities for reporting. Being able to pull the files into a single document for analytical purposes would be helpful. Seems like there are some bugs within DX...we get error messages from time to time, and sometimes DX freezes up on us where we have to end the task and restart it.

Docuxplorer is the best

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: We love it!
We have been with Docuxplorer for many years!
This software and their customer service is great.

Pros:

The most thing that I like about Docuxplorer is the ease of the software on the users. The management and the layout of the software isn't complicated at all. Our company uploads all kinds of files into this software and the organization of these files are pretty much taken care of by docuxplorer.

Cons:

The one feature I wish that could be implanted or looked at further is the capabilities to do remote scanning using remote computers. When having offsite computers we wish that the user can use their own scanners while remoting into their computer at their office.

Document Storage

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: This software offers a number of features and benefits that can help you and your team members collaborate effectively on projects, communicate easily with one another, and even import and organize files. During this Covid pandemic we haven't had any interruption in our business thanks to DocuXplorer all our employees have remotely access to the files and documents to work from home.

Pros:

The program is easy to use / storage and when looking up documents in different folders.

Cons:

Document retention / Disk space does not automatically compress after deleting documents you will need to do a claim disk space process.

DocuXplorer Software Response

3 years ago

Thank you so much for sharing your insight on using DocuXplorer. I'm happy you're benefiting from the ability to collaborate effectively, stay organized, and work remotely without interruption. I looked into our process for document deletion and reclaiming unused drive space in the database and learned that this is common practice for databases. When items are deleted, they are not removed from the system but rather are left as space to be overwritten by something else. On a day-to-day basis, this doesn't impact the performance of your system as another file will quickly take the place of the deleted file space, but if you do a mass deletion of files, you may benefit from running disk cleanup to reclaim large amounts of space. If you do experience any issues with the speed, our support team is happy to find a solution; just email [email protected].

Docuxplorer

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall time saved not having to sift through physical documents has really been the key advantage to using Docuxplorer.

Pros:

Docuxplorer is a great way to securely organise and manage any type of digital document. It handles the retrieval of these documents in a smart way and allows for a lot of customisation around this too. Overall the software has saved us a lot of time by not having to search through filing cabinets and this has especially been useful with more staff working from home over the last year or so. Workflow inside docuxplorer is also very useful and there are other powerful integration features should you desire to take advantage of them.

Cons:

Installation was fairly straight forwards but consideration is needed in order to scope this out correctly for your environment. Workflow is good but does have a steep learning curve and could be tricky for non IT literate users to understand. Perhaps a new more simplified UI / workflow builder could be something to consider in future versions.

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall my experience with docuxplorer has been good, thats why i continue to use it for all these years!

Pros:

reasonable price, ease of use, nothing price comparable out there that i have seen

Cons:

the one thing ive always disliked about the software is that you cant export partial information to another computer, file by file, its an all or none deal. for example when i was in the hospital i wanted to see specific tax return files so i could review them and the backup documents. they had to instead print everything out and my wife had to lug the files back and forth from the office to the hospital. if we could have copied individual files this would have been very convenient.

Comments: Its nice with multi-companies, to have one place to retrieve documents. The support is amazing, you can call and talk to a person, and that same person can help you!

Pros:

We are now using QR codes to scan our documents, this catalogs everything for us! We do not need to manually save files in specific locations.

Cons:

When capturing info from a scanned document, if the scan goes in crooked(which happens all the time), there are some problems scanning. If there were a way to straighten documents before capturing data/text, that would make this feature even better!

DocuXplorer Software Response

Hi, Dan! Thanks for sharing your experience with DX! That's wonderful you're getting good use out of the QR code reader and automated indexing. QR codes should be readable at any angle, but you may run into OCR issues with lines of text that are not straight. That said, DX has a feature to automatically straighten a document when scanned into the system. Our support team will be happy to troubleshoot with you.
