Efficient but demanding. OnBase offers powerful functionality and flexibility for document management and workflow automation. It’s highly customizable, and support is prompt and knowledgeable. However, it requires significant system resources — we’ve experienced performance slowdowns on ESXi hosts during heavy usage. Overall, it’s well-suited for organizations that need depth and scalability, but it demands careful infrastructure planning.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Very advanced platform with many features that can be catered to a businesses needs. A dedicated team provides quick service for when issues arise.

#### Cons

It's very resource intensive, uses up a large amount of resources on our ESXI hosts and we occasionally get complaints about slowness.

My overall experience with OnBase has been excellent. I don't know what I would do without it as far as keeping me organized. I recommend this software to anyone that has countless PDFs they need to keep a record of and have the option of retrieving at any given moment.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

OnBase is excellent for keeping copies of all my client's purchase orders in one place. The layout is user friendly and very simple to use. I mainly use it to keep track of countless numbers of PDFs I have on file. Once imported in to OnBase, I am able to retrieve those files with a simple search. It's been a lifesaver for keeping me organized.

#### Cons

The only issue I have with OnBase is a minor annoyance. When I am importing documents, I am not able to drag and drop multiple files at a time. If I have 10 files to import, then I have to do 10 separate imports for each. Other than that, I do not have any complaints.

Extremely user friendly and easy to work with. We have been able to run with PowerBI without having to do extensive training, and has boosted our productivity and analytics insights

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

There are tons of connectors and interoperability features. That plus the fact the system is so easy to use!

#### Cons

It does come with a cost that could be hard to swallow for some, but it is so worth it!

### Easy to Use

- Overall rating: 4/5

- Industry: Higher Education

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I like how you have all documents link together so when you search a name, everything pulls up.

#### Cons

I don’t like that we don’t have the ability to have a workflow or a way to send documents to other departments. If there is that ability , it should be standard for universities.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

This is an effective program for accounts payable and is easy to learn and manipulate data for entry.

#### Cons

### OnBase has gone downhill

- Reviewer: Randy Z.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: July 2018
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

all in one document and workflow management software, but the pros end there. OnBase 13 was great, OnBase 17 not so much

#### Cons

we upgraded from OnBase 13 to OnBase 17 and let me tell you it is a disaster. OnBase 17 is slower substantially in every category. We are using a click once install, now it has to check the server every time you open, word, or excel, outlook or even OnBase itself for a new version, which sounds great, but this can take 30-45 seconds EVERYTIME you want to open a document. Switching from inbox to related items is very slow, 6-10 seconds, which doesn't seem like a lot, but over the course of a day where you do this 70 times, well you do the math for wasted productivity. And then there is the Random errors that constantly come up on a users system that has worked just fine for months, but there is no solution to that either. Hyland support is virtually non existent, their only solutions are run this software utility that they have. Nothing is ever resolved, they just keep "kicking the can down the road", or tell us to update to version 18. sorry after this disaster our next upgrade will be to something else. Our business users are screaming to go back to version 13.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

It has been an excellent product for content management. With the assistance of this product we can change over unstructured information into an organized one that contains numbers, dates and certainties so as to improve the information conveyance and generally correspondence in a specific association and companies. I would say it is a useful product.

#### Cons

It has been long time using this versatile tool. It is great that I have not ever come across any major problem. It always gives perfect services. I am a satisfied user of Onbase.

OnBase serves a great value as a way to store documents for my organization.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

OnBase is straightforward. The learning curve is not steep. It's easy to find content you've uploaded. There are a lot of customization options.

#### Cons

I use this software daily, and about once every 15 days it just does not let me upload documents. Fortunately, I can wait a day and then it works again usually, but I can't count on it to be 100% reliable.

Overall I have been satisfied with OnBase. We have a lot of moving parts with some of our processes that use it, and if something stops working, it is normally something else and not OnBase. It has been very reliable.

#### Ratings breakdown

We use this software in conjunction with our ERP system. We have had a lot of success with feeding files into this for our business units to use for centralized access.

#### Cons

There are not really any cons with this software. It does what it is supposed to do. There are a few features that could be enhanced.
