Automated Translation from Italian
Like

DocuWare has an effortless deployment and implementation process. No training required. Everyone can use the software. I like the effectiveness of the software in document capture and compliance tracking. The support services for the software are superb. Timely response to queries and personalised customer care services. Good integration capabilities with products such as SproutSign, Microsoft Outlook and QuickBooks Online. The software does so well when it comes to workflow automation and collaboration.

Dislike

The main weaknesses we identified are the somewhat outdated user interface and the complexity for users navigating between the different filing cabinets. We also encountered a technical limitation with the indexing system, making it difficult to assign multiple identical references (for example, several order numbers to a single invoice) to a single document.

Automated Translation from French
Dislike

1) Too many errors and bugs that slow down work and require constant data verification and subsequent changes; 2) Lack of autonomy in some areas; 3) Support is sometimes too distant in time.

Automated Translation from Italian
Dislike

Pricing of the software is a challenge. Docuware goes for about $XX per month which is not very affordable especially to small businesses and organisations.
