FileHold is a user friendly and powerful system!

Pros

Software is user friendly but offers a wide range of features that makes it appropriate for a wide range of organizations. As a re-seller we have had great success in municipalities, health units, employment agencies, etc.. and each organization's requirements have been met. The support team is also very knowledgeable and responsive when needed.

Cons

There are some features that don't work perfectly for some of the processes that our customers try and complete, but that isn't a problem with the product, just a limitation. I don't have any negative opinions at this time.

A fantastic document management system

Pros

- the search options are extremely useful and save so much time finding documents
- FileHold is very well structured and we have made use of a lot of additional functionality such as sign off, review periods and acknowledgement

Cons

- it might be good to be able to customise your workflow a bit better, but the standard layout is perfect as is

Synergy Software Systems - FileHold DMS

Pros

Easy to use functionality, Connector to add documents & excel files directly from Word/Excel. Content Search, Save Searches, Redaction, Sticky notes, and lots of other useful & effective features.
Supports both thick & thin clients.

Cons

Workflow designer in a graphical representation with drag & drop of the fields in the product is not available.

Vendor-wise no negative comments.

Document Control Specialist

Overall I would recommend this product. If you are moving from a network type system to a DMS , this is the way to go. You do not need to be a programmer to get this thing going. All you need is a few hours of IT time and the rest you can do yourself. I implemented our program in 2 months time.

Pros

Easy to implement and easy to configure to my company's business requirements
The searching capability is wonderful and greatly reduces the time it takes to find a document - we are now getting structure out of mayhem!
The library structure makes using FileHold easy even for the most novice of users

Cons

Navigating through the workflows is cumbersome and clunky. I have to click here to find one thing...go back to another screen to find others.

FileHold DM Software - Great Value

Pros

The product can be used in a basic configuration or an advanced configuration with many features for complicated environments.

Cons

The only challenge we face with implementation of this product is the shift from the normal PC file system to a DM system which is mostly a user issue

Solution Provider

Pros

Ready to run out of the box.
Competitive price.
Great support.

Cons

Nothing. I really like the software and it meets all my (and my clients) needs.

Premium ECM solution with multitude of benefits

Pros

Not just a document archive, FileHold, also offers a suite of content management modules that have helped us become paperless.

Cons

The workflow routing tools were a bit complex at first, but the documentation and support helped get us where we needed to be.

FREE & USEFUL! Like most Google Softwares :)

Pros

This is a nice, simple solution for note-taking. Much better than having a million post-it notes scattered on your desk everywhere! I enjoy using the notes for to-do lists, websites, reminders, you name it. And it's great that it is free to use! I like to use it on my iPad as well with my apple pen because it really works like a sticky note, and you can change colors which is a bonus.

Cons

I would like their to be a feature to password protect a note for things like passwords. Other then that it's great!

Easy Navigation and handful Menu options

Pros

The app has easy to use navigation. There are a number of menu items with a few submenus as well. There is a number of features in this app to perform various operations. It’s a kind of app which has features for every other department

Cons

Great app with good functional features. No issue with any of the existing functionality here.

A simple and powerful way to manage large document sets

Pros

FileHold is as intuitive as it is powerful. With its metadata-based architecture, FileHold allows me to find the exact documents I need faster and easier than any other document management platform.

Cons

I hope they release a Mac operating system version soon!

We actively recommend FileHold as a Document Management system and as an excellent companion product

We actively recommend FileHold as a Document Management system and as an excellent companion product with the Eloquent KM Suite. Together they manage the entire life cycle of all records from creation to permanent archives or destruction.

Pros

Eloquent Systems has a Web-based Knowledge Management software suite that does not have a Document Management component. Using the API's provided we were easily able to integrate the two products.

Our products could always link to digital content of most types. Now it can link directly to a FileHold folder for a seamless. A search into the Eloquent KM software will find documents stored in FileHold as well as the various Eloquent applications.

Cons

We have limited hand-on experience with the product, but understand the application well and do not find FileHold lacking in any way.

Professional file management system

Pros

Life cycle Management, Advanced Search and used history log

Cons

Microsoft Office Integration and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Indexing

Improved Search functionality

Pros

The app provides advanced search functionality. With advances search files and content can be searched quickly. Seems the database tables have good indexing configured on tables on main fields. Search too fast.

Cons

Collaboration functionality needs some improvement. Sharing with friends works but sometime does not send notifications which can be improved.

Easy deployment and Calendar support

Pros

The software is very good and have great features. Can be deployed on the cloud with help from support team. It keeps me organized by sending reminders of my events overtime.

Cons

User interface is good but can be changed to have good color combinations. Colors will make good effect and will improve the UX.

Documents lifecycle can be streamlined

Pros

FileHold has functionality to streamline workflow for documents by creating a few rules. It helps to stay organized and access records as needed.
It is quick to access files as needed from servers, File uploading process is smooth as well.

Cons

Since it supports calendar. Would it be possible to sync my Gmail calendar events?
