(1-2 of 2)Privia - from a long time (really long time) user
- The commenting feature in Privia is a unique feature that allows us to do frequent reviews with extended project teams to do reviews concurrently and quite successfully. It allowed us to be much more efficient and have more users to more fully participate in the review process.
- The version control feature works quite well for us, allowing us to completely avoid the common issues of over writing documents and loss of content.
- The delegate feature allows us to provide multiple users with control over the workspace. This allows us to be much more efficient with scheduling and control.
- There can be occasional lag time when working on the Web Client.
- If you are copying workspaces off line for archival purposes, Privia will allow non-standard Windows file names. These files will then have to be renamed to copy them off the system.
- If you copy a folder off line, if you do not have at least view access to the file, it will simply not download without any error indicated.
- Significant employee and team efficiency
- Faster review process allowing more team members to participate
- Much improved customer service for our users, who are mostly non-technical writer and managers
- Vendor implemented
- The commenting feature with it's links to the document is the most elegant functionality of this type I have ever used or even seen. My users think it's a miracle.
- The version control allows collaboration without those nagging file-over write problems
- The flexible security options allow Administrators excellent flexibility
- Archiving entire workspaces from the system can be a bit cumbersome
- Since view access on files can be limited, even for Administrators, it can result in files within folders not downloading without an error message
- Privia allows non-Windows compatible characters to be used in file names, which can cause an issue when files are archived offline
Never underestimate the power of CRM
- Easy to customize workflow process design with accountable and acceptor assignments, among other configurable properties, that can track the most demanding procedures and provide real-time reports on their status.
- Built-in browser toolbar that automates the capture of volumes of information on government (and private sector) opportunity postings on FBO, GovWinIQ, and others.
- Although there are some limitations, it has a powerful reporting capability that allows you to customize your view of the data by selecting fields and adding filtering to generate selected exportable data.
- As mentioned in strengths, there are limitations to reporting in that some fields are not available or only available in one of the four report "types" when you'd like that field in another report type. Some fields are not selectable at all it would seem. My understanding is the Privia can accommodate further customization for each customer at a price, so even this limitation can be overcome.
- Privia has a great version control and commenting capability that includes commenting on graphics files, but the check-out and in process are not always intuitive to many of our users and require some hand-holding. In addition, the commenting capability, which supports concurrent users, produces an export to Word with comment fields but doesn't mark up the document itself - whether that is a blessing or a curse is really up to your team and editing style.
