ABBYY FineReader vs Nitro Productivity Suite

Likelihood to Recommend

[ABBYY FineReader is well suited] to edit advanced documents that contain text, images, tables, columns among others, I used it when I have a large text file and they ask me to go in editable file type like docx, Another common use is when in documents there is personal or sensitive information that should not be public knowledge and you want to cure or erase this information without prejudice to the understanding of the background of the document.

Nitro is well suited for the common tasks we use like include viewing and editing. The redaction tool is very useful when sharing documents with sensitive information. The downfall is we still must use Adobe Acrobat on occasion. Some PDFs will not open, view, or print properly in Nitro.

Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated)
Signing not only for yourself but for others. Helpful for those who have been granted the authority to sign for VPs and directors
Much easier to use than some other PDF viewing services

Cons

A versioning system of the work done or the editions that have been saved in the files, or a tracking of changes between one version and another would be fabulous
An improvement that would be asked would be as previews or suggestions of the type of file that could be beneficial to use in an edition
The redesign of the panels is that of the analyzed document, the edition and the changes in my opinion need a resizing to have a better view of the work

The font choices could be better and more robust.
Sometimes converting PDF documents to MS Word has formatting problems, like with some tables.
Converting MS Word to PDF can be slow sometimes, meaning it is faster to save the MS Word document as a PDF than selecting the file for conversion using the Nitro PDF convert option.

Alternatives Considered

Although both have functionalities that they share, in ABBYY FineReader they are better implemented, they have a better performance, in addition to being a more intuitive and simple user that makes their learning curve relatively simple, it is as if the options I need are always available. the hand and not within complicated menus or overloaded interfaces

ROI was very quick as the license costs were so low. We purchased 8 licenses versus the initial 2 we were planning on for Adobe.
More people were able to use the product than we initially thought due to low purchase costs.
We haven't had any further costs to own the product after the initial purchase. We would need to purchase new licenses if we wanted to upgrade.
