DocStar Has been a Life Saver
We store both not only client information, but also our own business support documents. The overall experience has surpassed all expectations. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] are Super-Stars in this business..
PROSDocStar integrates with many programs, including various email platforms and PDF editors. Our users have not problems accessing and using the software when out of the office. The dependablility of the platform is awesome. The User access and passwords make it both easy to use and easy to control. In the 15 year plus that we have been a DocStar customer, it has saved us time, effort and money. In addition, our clients have been very impressed with our ability to gather, retain and send files to them.
CONSThere were times in the past, when DocStar would do updates that negatively affected our ability to use the software and it would cost several hours of "down time". In the most recent years, this seems to have been mostly resolved.

An EDM system with great value, web enabled with heavy workflow focus
Data entry automation for AP and AR, matching, routing of Invoices and sales orders and ease of finding documents. Version control comes standard and integrates very nicely with MS Office
PROSBase system comes with lots of standard features such as records management document workflow, zone ocr, content searching, approval routing and audit trail. The product is browser based so can support Apple/ios environments and be easily placed on premise or in the cloud. Support for multiple companies, TWAIn or ISIS scanning. Batch importing thru email, hot folder, xml or csv comes free. Full MS Office integration and virtual print driver come free. Lots of great options at an affordable price point
CONSLooking forward to new rebranding in the 7.16 version , not a fan of the old logo and color pallet
Vendor Response
Thank you for the review Brent! I'm glad you like our new branding and I'll be sure to let the Product team know you're on the lookout for it in the product!

Need Viewer to work with Epicor Kinetic windows using passwordless single sign-on
We are automatically attaching our Part drawings along with purchase orders to outgoing emails to suppliers. We are auto attaching documents (Commercial invoices, etc.) from QuickShip to the Customer Shipment Entry window in Epicor.
PROSLove that we can have Epicor place documents into ECM and also pull documents from ECM to be sent on emails with Advanced Printing. Also that we can place records into ECM and they will auto attach to Epicor.
CONS**** WE REALLY NEED THE VIEWER TO WORK FOR EPICOR KINETIC WINDOWS USING PASSWORDLESS SINGLE SIGN-ON. **** It worked in Classic but does not work in Kinetic windows. *Drag and Dropping documents into windows no longer works in Kinetic *The user interface is really not intuitive.

Eclipse Evaluation
I use Eclipse almost daily in our loan department. It is a awesome way to scan all our client info. This is a great tool for us in our department to not have to go into our actual file room every time we have an issue. It is also great when our auditors to come in and evaluate us, The only thing I ever seem to have an issue with is moving something or emailing a document. Other than that this a great tool to have.
PROSThe easy access to our customer files.
CONSOften have problems trying to move or email a document.
Vendor Response

If not, you can always submit a Betterizer and our product team will review and prioritize when improving the solution. You can reach support at 1.866.243.2240.

DocStar ECM: You can pay for support but when you need it prepare to shell out more $$$
Nice document management, Can be granular with workflows but there is no documentation on workflow creation. This is probably a push to sell professional services
CONSYou can pay for a support contract, but if you ever need support prepare to get told you need to pay for professional services. Needed to upgrade our Docstar instance to a new version got directed to professional services. Need assistance with creating a workflow, Professional services will help you for the right price. Really confused on why we pay for support when every support request gets the reply "You would need professional services for that". Requested access to download new versions of Docstar from their website... This was 4 months ago and they still have not come through with the request. Probably a way to get people to pay for professional services.

Outshines Dark Filing Cabinets!
Before our company transitioned to docSTAR Eclipse my office was wall to wall dark filing cabinets crammed full of personnel files. They were overwhelming and more importantly even though locked, not fully secure. With docSTAR Eclispe mountains of paper are a dark memory. Security and confidentiality are top priorities. Past and present employee information is always at your fingertips! Fingertips that no longer have to deal with constant paper cuts! Previously an audit would require extensive time pulling individual files and documents, hoping that everything would be put back in the correct place. Now a few clicks of the mouse and documents are exported with ease with no risk of losing information or it falling into the wrong hands. docSTAR Eclipse has been a game changer for our Human Resources Department! I couldn't dream of going back to piles of paper. I highly recommend this product to HR departments both large and small!
PROSThe ease of use. With just a little training I was able to fully use the software. It's very intuitive.

Thank you for your review Kristin and we are so happy to hear that you are seeing the value and return on investment your investment in eclipse!

Old school long time user,
Storage of paper documents in the office is gone. We down sized the office. We were completely ready to go to remote working, no shut down.
PROSThe data stored is available to who ever has access including remote access. People do not have to be in the office to be productive. you can find thing fast and storing document's with workflows keep the lookup consistent.
CONSThe folder system for looking up document's needs features. Renaming folders, combining folders contents and. general maintenance of folders is not there.

The sequel data base to keep track of what you have. The end user ease of use. The security features. although some what complicated. It allows you to keep groups separate.

Adequate but needs modernization
This system integrates with SYSPRO, which was the primary driver for purchase. It has the ability to be highly customized and accommodate complex workflows. Does great at retaining images of documents and the search functions are usable and logical.
CONSThe interface is not modern and some basic functions are missing like the inability to filter on columns and manage out of office approvals for groups. Workflow creation is difficult and not intuitive - lacks the ability to copy multi steps from other workflows.

Deep knowledge of Dynamics GP and AP automation a huge plus!
As a leader in the mortgage space, we handle thousands of documents a month as well as invoices. Everything was processed and handled manually, causing dozens of hours of work every week, errors and delayed approvals and payments, all leading to additional expenses. Trying to find documents for audits was a tedious, costly process and storing documents in file cabinets exposes our organization to theft and loss. We met with the top 4 or 5 vendors in addition to docSTAR and docSTAR met every one of our requirements. Plus, their knowledge of accounts payable workflow and MS Dynamics GP, easy to build workflows (even complex ones), and cost effectiveness of the solution made them our top choice. We would definitely go with docSTAR again. Pros Non-technical staff can build workflows very easily, saving our IT resources time. Deep knowledge of GP was essential for an easy implementation. Our staff found eclipse easy to learn and use without a lot of training. It's very intuitive. Storing content digitally will give us a fast return on investment in labor and storage. Finding new uses for the solution all the time.

our documents were a complete mess. We'd tried keeping lots of folders and that sort of thing but it never worked out. Just kept getting too convoluted and no one could ever find what they were looking for. This really helped fix that!
