I will suggest this tool to all those companies who have to deal mostly with documentation. Because it is very good in handling all types of documents and it will add to your ease in managing the content. I will also like to recommend it to medical and insurance-based companies because it will help to make their workflow easy. PrizmDoc customer’s support is always ready to help this is why we never got stuck in any particular issue, thus you will be supported by them anytime.

It is well suited in the organisations which deals with lots of paper work like legal, teaching, research, etc as they need similar kind of documents again and again. In a typical office set up it is of great use by human resource, marketing and legal department. Hot docs is not suitable if you have a proprietary or solo business as it do not caters to them.

Pros
Accusoft
  • PrizmDoc has helped me a lot in processing my PDF documents now I can easily extract information through these files and also it is very easy for me to edit the files because previously I have to convert them in word mode and then I was editing it.
  • It has provided us one platform where we can process our documents and get work approvals easily and this is through its automaton feature.
  • Through PrizmDoc I am no more worried about changing the nature of my documents I can easily convert them into various versions and formats.

  • Personalized training. We were able to get an expert on a video call who walked us through solutions to each of our unique problems (i.e. all fifty states have different notary blocks, how can we auto-populate it when the state of the deal is selected?).
  • Team access. Multiple people can work with the templates at once, thus allowing the members of our team who deal with financials to work on their documents while others focus on the organizational and legal documents.
  • Once you have successfully drafted your templates, it runs incredibly smooth (barring any minor hiccups that happen with software updates) and efficiently.

Cons
Accusoft
  • It is quite expensive.
  • It is found to be complicated but after getting familiar with it, I just love to use this. Another thing that frustrates me is that it is quite difficult to install and configure.
  • It is very difficult to proceed, but when you get along with it, you discover its amazing features.

  • Most HotDocs templates demand high-level code. This includes complicated Word codes
  • Using HotDocs is incredibly user-friendly. Creating and maintaining templates is a programming task

Could be more intuitive - could even "suggest" fill-ins with the option to take or not take the suggestion.

I haven't had to contact HotDocs very often for support. I suppose I rated them mid-level simply because I would like to see more online training options or white papers to view to assist with learning. I want to understand how to do something versus having it done for me.

I haven't evaluated other products. We are so used to HotDocs that it would be difficult for us to switch to something else. We continue to use HotDocs because switching cost is high once you have already started. Be careful before beginning to use this program, as it is hard to breakaway.

  • I feel confident in handling the numerous type of invoices and better collaborate with my team through its mobile application, which is very user-friendly.
  • barcode handling is and to detect signatures, is no more difficult.
  • PrizmDoc is very good at handling documents in managing the content, I will like to mention its capability of handling the images through “document image clean up” and also it is good in compressing the images too.
