Document Locator Erfahrungen

Excellent and fabulous

Kommentare: It is cost effective, mobility oriented, and adds to data management

Vorteile:

The application is user friendly and as well being adaptive to users. It is an application that is handy and challenging to learn as an administrator

Nachteile:

I have not really find any cons applicable to me as a user and an administrator. Except on the web tools, users that have folder permission on the repository, are not able to see it on the web.

Highly recommend. Great software

Kommentare: Our experience with Document Locator has been great. We have no regrets. The Team at Document Locator was extremely helpful in working with the migration of our data from our previous software vendor. They went over and beyond to make sure we received not only all of our documents, but the meta data that was attached. The Team customized our platform to meet our needs. The Trainers were patient and detail oriented. The software is easy to use, intuitive, and reliable. Document Locator has improved our efficiency in our daily duties.

Vorteile:

We use Document Locator all day every day. The software is easy to use, intuitive, and reliable. The Team at Document Locator was extremely helpful in working with the migration of our data from our previous software vendor who was not helpful. Each time we have received training, it has been informative, clear, and concise. Folder Structures and Profiles are great tools to allow us to work efficiently with consistency across departments. We have experienced no downtime. Document Locator has improved our efficiency in our daily duties.

Nachteile:

Emails are automatically named which is great. However, we would love to be able to reorder the auto-naming to be specific to us. We heavily rely on the search feature or breadcrumbs. However, we have to manually navigate to the file to save the document in when "printing to Document Locator". The breadcrumbs or search features are not available in the "print to" function.

Best Document Management for Windows

Kommentare: Good tool for windows and a good way to organize all your documents.

Vorteile:

Used it for our internal document management and enterprise knowledge base. Its an easy document manager with great features.

Nachteile:

The pricing is at higher side for less than 10 users. There should be custom pricing according to the number of users.

Life's more simple

Vorteile:

It is easy to use even for the beginner, not at all difficult and makes life more simple for me in my daily life when it comes to work management. I definitely recommend it to anyone that likes to save time but have organization as well. Definitely saves time rather than trying to do everything manually. I have found that my work life is more organized than before I started using this program....

Nachteile:

There's nothing really to dislike unless you like unorganized chaos when trying to locate files folders and documents, if that's you then this program is not for you because this program is the complete opposite and is a life saver in my opinion. So as far as finding anything I dislike, there's isn't anything that I find that I dislike about this program. Again I recommend this to anyone who works in an office type setting especially.

DL Review for RIZZO

Vorteile:

I like that you can go back and find older versions of documents. For us that is the most important feature.

Nachteile:

I dislike how outdated it appears at times.

Very easy document manager

Vorteile:

Document Locator is a versatile and user-friendly application, providing adaptive features for seamless document management. Its integration with Outlook simplifies email management, while offering convenient functions like PDF conversion and document preview. With a great API and easy administration, users require minimal training. The exceptional support promptly addresses queries, even the simplest ones. This product excels in staying up-to-date and ensures a smooth implementation, backed by fantastic customer and tech support.

Nachteile:

Document Locator is a powerful software that requires extensive training, but the inability to link folders can be inconvenient. While telecommuting, it occasionally experiences slowdowns and glitches. Limited to Windows, the web version lacks features, eagerly awaiting the next update.

Implemented in Engineering, HR, Finance and IT departments in three companies 2 small, 1 large.

Kommentare: Very happy customers. Great pricing. Great support. Integration with forms tool (Perfect Forms). Integration with custom .NET software used to accelerate IT Architecture development. Integration with secure HR systems to manage employee hiring and on-boarding. Ease of use finding Engineering documents.

Vorteile:

Document uses SQL Server as storage for documents instead of a file-share. This provides the ability to encrypt data while stored and retrieve on the desktop without un-encrypting. Thus making it very easy to use for handling sensitive HR and Finance records. Document Locator includes standard and custom workflows that include forms which are routed for approval in a variety of ways. As an engineering tool, Document Locator make SharePoint look like an old-fashioned file server with its ability to add meta-data to each document. Document Locator has a vibrant web interface but also includes access via the desktop app.

Nachteile:

Not much. I have done many document management studies and Document Locator exceeds all the others for my list of requirements. Perhaps some of the icons used on the client could be modernized.

Best document management out there!

Kommentare: I’ve been administering my company’s Document Locator system for 8+ years. Never have I come up with a problem they couldn’t solve. I had 8 different document management systems in my company, and picked this over all the ones I already owned. Never regretted it even one day.

Vorteile:

Not only does Document Locator works seamlessly inside windows, it has a great API and is very easy to administer. Users generally don’t require more than about 15 minutes of training. Support always answers questions within an hour or so, and the help cheerfully even with “dumb” questions.

Nachteile:

Training is only offered a few times a year, and mostly in Oregon, though they will send an instructor onsite if you need.

Document Locator offers a self contained convenient and efficient solution which allows our team remote and instant access to company files and data .

Kommentare: Document Locator software works beautifully and seamlessly with Microsoft Office and Browsers while allowing us to configure specific rights per user
to the most sensitive company information which often will requires remote access in the field under pressure situations .

Vorteile:

We found Document Locator or DL as it is otherwise known to be consistently reliable offering the ability to to send links which can be controlled offering specific file access to users. DL additionally offers a nice system to organize files so once connected users can find those intended files. DL's customer service support is first rate offering timely and high quality support.

Nachteile:

We are extremely pleased with Document locator however there were was an issue that we encountered. The supplied user interface was some what clumsy as key commands were less intuitive to locate and use. This is a common occurrence though with file acquisition programs.

Great tool to remove redundancy and track documents

Vorteile:

The version control is fantastic. I love that I can keep one document as a source for everything else to refer to. I no longer have to wonder which version is the "Current" version.

Nachteile:

The reporting piece is a real struggle. I would like to have a more user-friendly option. It would be great if I could build a report on the fly with a few fields from a pick-list.

¿Perdiste la ubicación de un documento? Document Locator puede evitar ello

Kommentare: Puede tener muchos beneficios, como aumentar la eficiencia y ahorrar espacio. Sin embargo, también puede tener algunos inconvenientes, como el costo y la necesidad de capacitación y mantenimiento.

Vorteile:

Aumenta la eficiencia al ayudar a localizar rápidamente los documentos que necesitan, lo que ahorra tiempo y recursos mejorando la seguridad al permitir el control del acceso a documentos confidenciales o importantes.

Nachteile:

Para implementarlo se requiere capacitación para aprender a usar el sistema, lo que puede requerir tiempo y recursos adicionales.

Excellent Customer Support

Kommentare: Customer representatives have a great relationship with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin which makes to the support for this product great. Once again a product is only as good as its support team.

Vorteile:

A software product is only as good as the support you can get from the product. This last weekend I was upgrading the Document Locator backend database from SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2016 SP1. I called Columbiasoft to let them know during the week what I was doing. In return, they emailed me steps to take when migrating to a new SQL Server failover cluster and gave me instructions on what to do if I ran into issues. I did not expect to run into issues but did on Saturday and sent Columbiasoft an email. The turn around to a reply was sooner than I expected. Rep walked me through some standard checks. The main correction we made was changing the DLRepcatalog database owner to cssadmin. The best news is I still left before 1:00 pm on Saturday giving me enough time to buy my 2010 Ford F-150 to start the camping season.

Nachteile:

This is a hard one in that this product matches our business requirements. That said we use a lot of custom action steps and there are times I wish the documentation on customer action steps would be easier to understand.

Document Locator EO

Kommentare: I no longer feel dizzy while doing errands. Because everything is in its place. Simple and useful interface

Vorteile:

I think they are very successful in workflow management. File sharing is also easy and reliable

Nachteile:

Accessing the folders in the software can sometimes take time. It takes a lot of experience to gain experience

I don't waste time looking for documents.

Kommentare: Overall I like a product. It keeps documents organized and easy to access.

Vorteile:

Having all the documents together makes the job very practical. When I need it, I don't think about which document is where, I don't waste time, I like to have all of them at hand.

Nachteile:

Documents are slow to load, especially if they are large, it takes a lot of time.

Over all a good system. Ability to customize is hands down. Support team is EXCELLENT.

Kommentare: Having both a flat view with metadata and the actual file in one spot.

Vorteile:

The webtool is very easy to use, which is the part most of my team uses. I love that I am able to customize the system to my company's needs, there are very few limitations to the customization. I like the ability to get a spreadsheet report out of any folder and it includes the headers.

Nachteile:

The bulk loading is great for first time in documentation, but if you have updated versions in bulk to existing documents - the bulk load feature is useless. I work in engineering and we typically receive documentation in bulk and several versions over the life of a project. If the bulk load feature would actually version the documents this would be life saving.

ColumbiaSoft1

The indexing or searching for files is really nice and fast.

Initial setup is a pain when creating workflows or repository setups and security.

Document Locator has been one of the easiest and seamless Doc Mgmt systems I have worked with

Kommentare: Versioning and the ability to publish external links usable from other applications

Vorteile:

Flexibility. Its easy to configure to suite almost any need we have. And the way it seamlessly integrates with the Windows environment is outstanding for our users

Nachteile:

I really see no weaknesses to speak of. Every scenario that I have thrown at it it has easily handled. And the few items that I originally though of as downfalls where simply my lack of knowledge.

DL software is very user friendly

Vorteile:

I like the ability to offer individuals the rights and permissions to do their job efficiently. The search capabilities are robust. I like to the flexibility that this product offers.

Nachteile:

I would like to see more functionality added based on project management. As a recent grad of CMII practices, I would like to see some functionality added to this product based on the principles established in Configuration Management.

Comprehensive document management software suitable for engineering

Kommentare: Overall has been a great software that has improved our document control process and improved our internal efficiency

Vorteile:

This software has many features that allow for organized and detailed document management. The search function in the software is incredibly powerful and even allows for searching for content in documents. Bulk uploads allowed for an easier transition when the software was implemented.

Nachteile:

As the software is so powerful it requires a decent amount of training to become proficient. Also the inability to link to the folders in the software is inconvenient at times.

Save on Paper and Save Trees!

Vorteile:

This helped us flip into a paperless office (except for patient charts and promo). We can easily scan, filter documents, find reports, and more! Life-saver forsure.

Nachteile:

When I'm telecommuting and using a remote control software for the computer the software sometimes runs slow or is glitchy.

Customized document management & work flow

Vorteile:

We could customize the software to give us exactly what we needed. We have a complicated hierachy of supervision and the system allowed us the flexiblity tocontrol our document management as required.

Nachteile:

It can only be used in a Windows environment. The web version is lacking features so we are looking forward to the next version.

Great reports with Document locator

Vorteile:

Easy to use tool with good reporting options. Reports can be filtered to get custom data. It also has the option to see usage metrics. Notifications can be scheduled for missed tasks. It helps users to review the assigned documents.

Nachteile:

Functionality can be defined specific to the users. If there would be a super admin role which can assign various modules based on user type, it will help to only see required screens.
