NetDocuments - Great Cloud based DMS
Almost always positive. The search, storage and applications work. When they don't the support staff is usually friendly and knowledgeable
PROSThe whole package exists in the cloud. It just works. Indexing Works. Importing Works. User Management Works. Very little can go wrong as they handle the infrastructure.
CONSWhen it does go wrong it can be time consuming to get it fixed. Often the issue requires a patch to their software which can take some time to get and implement from them

Could be better
over all it works, but it would be better if there were more short cuts, (ie drag and drop documents from ND to an email)
PROSthe best thing about net docs is that it is on the cloud.
CONSOur files in NetDocs are set up by folder structure. When our cases grow, it can get very confusing to see where documents are saved. I find myself having to keep clicking into subfolders. if there are documents in different subfolders but i want to add one document from one subfolder and a document from a different subfolder into an email, i am unable to to do that. when searching for a client file, the matter will not auto-populate if even if you type in the first couple of letters
Reasons for switching to NetDocuments
I moved firms and the firm i moved to worked with net docs, but i constantly find myself comparing net docs to worldox

Best document management system
NetDocuments is very intuitive for most employees. Has all of the core features of document management implemented very well. It is fully cloud based, so it takes off our mind all of the duties of archiving.
CONSSome flexibility is missing. Several features are not completely implemented, so they sort of work but require workarounds. They could take a key from the competition on several UI design choices.
Reason for choosing NetDocuments
True cloud - iManage in the cloud means that someone installs and maintains a server just for you. In NetDocuments we don't have to worry about updates, since the system for all of their clients in the same vault is maintained together. They also have very good data center and backups (we reviewed their SOC report). Price - they gave us a better proposal
Reasons for switching to NetDocuments
We used a dated system installed locally and had to switch to something modern

Great way to securely share and store documents
Our business has many people who all work together on the same projects and this has given us a way to conveniently keep every one up to date by providing updates to everyone almost immediately.
PROSThis software makes it very convenient to keep all documents organized by user or client and has many features which can be used to ensure the security of the documents.
CONSThe search feature can be difficult to figure out the verbiage to use, and if you are searching for a document that you have not been given access to it does not inform you of that, instead it just says “not found”
Vendor Response
Thank you for your kind words and feedback! We are continually working to improve our product and have shared your feedback with our product teams. Please note that for security reasons expected by many customers, we intentionally do not disclose if a document exists if the searcher doesn't have access rights to view that document. Thank you for being a NetDocuments customer!

difficult to use, expensive, but secure
Secure, clunky, expensive.
PROSHow secure our files are. Both security and dynamic version management are superb features.
CONSHow clunky and difficult to use it is. Also, how difficult it is to learn, especially the admin side - it's like doing things on DOS - you have to know what you're doing. It's not intuitive at all.
Reason for choosing NetDocuments
It's what was recommended to us at the time.

NetDocuments
Overall, I like the software alot when it is working and Internet Explorer is working.
PROSWe were able to set the matters up the way our paper files used to be organized, so it makes finding documents easier for us.
CONSit is Internet Explorer based and is not as compatible with anything else (i.e. FireFox, Google Chrome, etc.), so you lose some of the functions if you do not use Internet Explorer. However, Internet Explorer is no longer supported and is not stable. Also, when you have a problem and call customer service the wait is excessively long.

NetDocuments-Ease to use
As I am involved in international trade Legal services, I am able to use Netdocs to undertake efficient document management which can be undertaken through creating different folders, and managing those folders event remotely internationally.
PROSThat it can be accessed from out of office, and very user friendly for document management, which in the legal services field is a must.
CONSThe only con it has that it doe snot have an in-built features to compare different versions of the documents. We got to use another software app to do that.

Have to put your documents somewhere
If you are looking for a reliable document management system that you can use with no infrastructure cost this is it. It can get pricing based on the use, but it is worth it in the long run.
PROS-The ability to track version control -Share documents internally & externally -Create folder structures to classify documents in addition to document types -Remote access app -Security
CONS-When there is a problem or sync issue, there isn't always a reason -Speed sometimes (although this is more likely an internet speed issue)

A helpful file storage program
A program that helps me securely manage my documents at work .
PROSThe file organization is next-level .You can setup your folders in any way you want , add notes on files as needed or even link them to photos .Our email server gets overloaded easily and we regularly have to clear your inbox .I like that I can also use NetDocuments to store important ,older emails .
CONSIntegration with other programs is lackluster .You cannot collaborate on files with other people ,except on designated areas. You cannot run multiple versions together and are stuck doing one thing at a time .

NetDocuments Document Management
Overall NetDocuments is a good app with good components. Sometimes a glitch happens and we need to get technical support, but then again, sometimes it is just operator error. Either way, they are helpful and get to the root of the problem.
PROSThis is a document management system in the cloud that is very user friendly. it is easy to save documents and retrieve them. NetDocuments has various programs to work alongside the document management system - such as scanning documents and saving them just like a document you had just created, and ndMail, which is a program that quickly and easily save emails to your various files. Their support team is very good and easy to get ahold of.
CONS3 or 4 times each year we need to update the app on our computers and its always a little scary and we all hate doing it. I wish they could just update their files and when we log in we would automatically be logging into the newest version.
Reasons for switching to NetDocuments
We left another firm and started a new company.

Easy to save and locate documents
Each of our Cases has a workspace in NetDocuments, so I am able to look up my case and quickly search through my documents by date, doc name, sender, document type, etc. There are many was to narrow the search. Also, because this program is integrated with our Case Management software, Zencase, I don't even have to open it separately. Documents are available at my fingertips.
PROSIt's great to be able to associate emails with attached documents directly into NetDocuments for all of my Cases. From NetDocuments, I can pull up any older emails without having to spend time searching through Outlook
CONSFor my purposes, the program works very well. But it would be nice to be able to drag and drop emails to NetDocuments, which would make association even quicker!

Net Docs
The overall experience with Netdocs is fantastic except the increasing rates you're forced to pay from the Con section. The other alternative if you are looking for a similar DMS but are in a smaller budget, using Epona from MS and Imanage might be the best gateway before you come into the ND world.
PROSFantastic for the Legal Sector for DMS, HYPER secure and great customer service on issues. We've used them for 10+ years and haven't had many complaints with them at all. The best thing about it is they continually improve and produce better and better Intergrations with microsoft.
CONSThe biggest con is the price, you can easily burn a quarter Million on the data storage rates and such easily plus with user licensing, it's mostly due to them being bought by a hedge fund so they screw over everyone with the extreme licensing and piece mealing products that should have been including from the get-go.

Well worth it
Its a great platform that I would recommend to many businesses/friends.
PROSThis is a great cloud based "filing cabinet" I use it just like you would use a paper file and it works great. Lots of search options if you are looking for a document. Easy to customize the workspace for how you want to use it. You can set up documents as versions, so each time someone makes changes they can save as a separate document so great way to preserve changes.
CONSSometimes it has weird glitches, like email integration. But typically customer service is on ball to get it fixed quickly.

The e-mail integration is awesome, when it works. We run into too many issues to where it loses a connection or fails to uploaded an e-mail.
CONSEach update makes the system slower and slower. Every time they update their website, a feature breaks and they have to go back and fix it. Hold times for tech support and times can be a little ridiculous.
