Recommend Doc.it Suite for mid to large firms

Customer support has always been top-notch. Appreciate the help and effort!

PROS

Great product when installed on a server and all parties have access and you are not having to grant access all the time. Lets coworkers work on their own and not need to constantly bother others for access to documents.

CONS

Really wish that there was not a minimum of 3 users limit. I would love to use this in my new business but can not justify the cost for 1-2 users when I have to pay for 3 licenses regardless.

Vendor Response

Tre, Greatly appreciate your feedback and happy to hear that you enjoy using Doc.It. Sorry about the 3 licenses min, I don't know if that is something we will change in the future with cloud or not. We do have some 1-2 person firms that pay for the 3 licenses though. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate you!

Doc-It supports our accounting firm in using documents in pdf form, scanning, creating and archiving

The Doc-It software allows a mid sized firm to support all staff with an effective way of moving documents, and work with them without print to paper. Doc-It has supported our growth in scanning and archiving client data in an effective way. We insist that all staff use Doc-It in the approval of time reporting, so all staff use Doc-It daily and it has become a trusted part of every day in the office.

PROS

Doc-It delivers the tools that let our staff work with reduced print. We have archived over 15 years worth of documents, and the archive allows for immediate access to the document you want, be it tax, correspondence or financials without having to open Word, Taxprep, CaseWare or CTF research while the client is on the phone. The Doc-It pdf editor and Doc-It scanner software organizes pdfs we create and let's us edit and work with pdfs effectively at a low cost per staff person. Our clients like the portal software, where we host the portal in-house using secure SSL transport stra

CONS

We don't utilize most of what Doc-It can do. Work Flow software is our next piece we will implement, so I can't comment on that. We do not try to scan all personal tax documents, and the scanning to tax returns is not cost effective for us at this time.

Vendor Response

Dan: Thanks for the feedback. We will be hosting a webinar on workflow near the end of June. (invites going out next week) This is an opportunity to see what our workflow can do for you and your firm. There is configuration and training to follow.

steadily declined over the years as Docit grew. Standard answer from support is "the next update"

At one time the benefits were big - especially when we went paperless. Today, i'm not sure the benefits outweigh any other PDF archiving and markup solution.

PROS

The integration with caseware for each of printing and the ease to which PDF documents can be marked up. Works well in the field as well. Once the setup matter are dealt with on Portal (see below) use of portal is simple and easy.

CONS

Lack of ability to use with multiple locations having access to the archive other than over a terminal server. Every time something is wrong and we talk to tech support - the response is "we hope that is in the next update" The software crashes A LOT. Daily for some people. Especially when trying to email a document from Inbox - or trying to combine a number of documents. Or opening a document and turning on bookmarks. The portal setup for a client and related instructions are utterly useless. Support knows this and nothing has been done - looks like the instructions are printed on a dot-matrix printer. I would NEVER want to send my client a document that looks like that, so I have to create my own document with instructions for my client. The automatically generated email says that the instructions are in the PDF. In fact, the PDF only has a username and password. No instructions, no link or web URL for the client to navigate to and certainly no instructions at all. This might be one of the most poorly designed things in Doc-it.

Vendor Response

Shabir: I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. We recently heard you were having some problems and I know my team has reached out to you. Please respond to him and we can attack the issues. I am confident we can turn this around and re-establish your confidence in us, our product and our support team. Kevin, COO

Doc-IT - Robust and Essential

Excellent. The customer service is excellent. Feels like they take a true vested interest in your satisfaction. You don't feel like you're dealing with a large tech company, but a family business. Very refreshing. Updates are easy and support is always offered to help you initiate any updates.

PROS

It is very feature rich. In an attempt to modernize our office our first challenge was how to go about turning dozens of filing cabinets into a virtual, paperless environment. Doc-It made it easy. It's extremely flexible in terms of customization, allowing us to mimic all of the file categories we use in a paper world into a virtual one. Easy to use, staff training was minimal and most people pick it up immediately. Most exciting, the PDF Editor/viewer is included. For less then the cost of one Acrobat license, I get a very comparable PDF Editor plus so much more.

CONS

The workflow module is a little too rigid for my firm. This is a very complicated process to make one size fits all, so I understand it is not for everyone. With that being said, other organizations should certainly benefit from it, just not ours.

Vendor Response

Bryan, Thank you very much for your review of Doc.It. We're happy to hear that you're pleased with our product and customer service. We are actually having meetings as we speak to discuss how we can improve workflow so please pay attention to our e-Newsletter for updates. - Kevin Sharma, Director of Sales & Marketing

Doc.It is a Really Good DMS

PROS

As a DMS (Document Management System), Doc.It is great. We used the software since 2011 and only switched when our firm merged with a larger firm that did not use Doc.It. The software is user friendly and is logically organized and the user can customize. The PDF editor is also great...easy to use and applicable to people that work in tax and accounting. I miss Doc.It.

CONS

Doc.It's customer service is a little on the slow side. This does not appear to be due to caring about their customers, they just appear to be understaffed. It would be nice if they added the drop and drag feature to the Doc.It portal.

Reason for choosing Doc.It Suite

Doc.It filled the need for a DMS and was not overly expensive.

Vendor Response

Jill, Thank you very much for your review of Doc.It. Doc.It also misses you! We have come along way on the support side so that area has improved. We also totally revamped the portal and the portal is now treated like a binder so drag-and-drop is possible! We hope to see you back as a client one day. Thank you for your continued support! - Kevin Sharma Director of Sales & Marketing

Unsatisfied

Frustrating, time-consuming, disappointing

PROS

I like the way the software organizes documents. If you only use it to archive work that is already complete, it would work well.

CONS

It crashes and does not save work. It is VERY slow. Doing the most minor tasks takes so much more time than when we were just working off our own server. And who has extra time during tax season?

Vendor Response

We apologize for the issues that you are having with the software and are happy and eager to address them for you. Please reach out to our support group at support@doc-it.com and they will help resolve any outstanding issues you are having with our software.

Favorable and productive

Efficient workflow.

PROS

Helps our firm work more efficiently. Keeps us more organized and on track. I like that rules can be set to lock files down so they can't be edited or deleted.

CONS

I really wish files could be edited without having to open them up in the PDF editor. It would be so useful and a time saver to be able to edit documents in the preview window. I also really wish email files could be drag and dropped into the application easily without having to print them to my inbox and then save them over. I also do not like the roll forward process. It's cumbersome and requires a lot of our staff resources.

Vendor Response

Jason: Thank-you for your feedback. We have heard the previewer one before. We will be making that a true previewer (including MS office document formats) and then the behavior will be consistent across all types. That is why we have resisted. You should be able to drag and drop from Outlook. Please contact our customer care team for assistance. Noted on the roll forward process. I think we can make that more efficient. Kevin, COO

Doc-It continually makes a better product at a better price and supports it well.

Ease of looking up items (just a few clicks and we have what we need), central repository, ease of scanning and sorting items. A lot less paper. Logging and tracking work.

PROS

Once set up it is very easy to use and maintain. Customer Support is stellar. Offers more features and functionality without add-ons than the competition. They take feedback well and generally put in the features we ask for or help to resolve any issues we have - features, functionality and/or troubleshooting new items.

CONS

Not fluid integration with all CCH and ThomsonReuters products - due to not being part of their suites. Would like it to be a little faster - recent improvements have helped, but it still needs to be faster.

Vendor Response

Stephen: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it and it guides our development. In addition, we are always looking for ways to reduce clicks and speed up the system. Kevin, COO

The updates have made the software less user-friendly.

The paperless feature and the quick accessibility of documents. There is no more searching for lost documents.

PROS

The best feature is the quick accessibility of documents. It is very nice to be able to access information while talking with a client on the telephone. This is a good program, but there are several areas that need improvement.

CONS

The updated calculator is horrible. Also, the program has become less user-friendly after the updates. There should be a copy feature from other documents.

Organization and efficiency provided our firm a game changing experience in how we can service our client base. Work flow platform should be developed further.

PROS

Upfront support was invaluable in setting up our firm in Doc It. With a few clicks of the mouse, I can have access to client information regardless of type of engagement or period to speak directly to with the client during a meeting or phone call.

CONS

I believe there is an opportunity to incorporate a CRM to capture the total client service experience. There may be an strategic alliance with say Client Track that could be incorporated to provide users an even more powerful tool.

The integration between Scanning, OCR & archive is useful. Work in process binders helped clean up and organize document storage.

CONS

Difficult to access files remotely, pen input laggy, PDF editor not compatible with some of the common PDF files that we download & use and have to use a competitors product. Still confused in the UI why you can access an archive via the archive explorer or binder explorer, and both can be made to have the same layout.
