12d Synergy vs. KwikTag

12d Synergy and its ability to handle all file types really suited the engineering industry.

Works fine for accounting but we've found workflow capabilities are limited for those who aren't using our accounting system. License seats need to be concurrent instead of user specific.

Incentivized

• Manages multiple files in a folder, while allowing file sharing (AutoCAD, xrefs, etc.)
• Delivers HUGE (2, 3, or 5GB) files with minimal bandwidth

• Helps keep track of multiple vendors' receipts and invoices.
• The integration with GP accounting is particularly helpful and it's why we chose the system.
• Users find the system easy to understand.

Incentivized

• 12d Synergy could provide additional analytical reporting on user behavior and usage out of the box.
• Improved speeds when referencing shared files from other 12d model projects.

• It would be nice if we could automatically email invoices from KwikTag to responsible parties for approval.
• Need to provide a web interface that doesn't use up a license seat so other members than KwikTag users can view documents that go with what's been charged to their budget.

Incentivized

The 12d Synergy team is always ensuring our issues and needs are resolved promptly. Whether it be on the forum or phone, they are kind and helpful

Hands down prefer 12d Synergy. Bentley ProjectWise is overly complex, expensive and has a very cluttered interface.

We use Laserfiche for our legal and membership services departments. Laserfiche is a full blown workflow and document management system that runs on our own SQL server. Therefore we have much more control of how it's set up and we can customize it more easily.

Incentivized

• 12d Synergy has solved our multiple office syncing issues, adding the ability to have staff from remote offices collaborate together on projects.
• Email saving used to be a nightmare, however, staff finds 12d Synergy's email saving easy to use and are able to search for saved emails quickly.

• KwikTag has taken a large burden off our AP staff.
• Documents are readily available for retrieval without having to scan through directories full of files or boxes of paper.
• Would like to see the ability for others to at least search and view documents.
