ActiveDocs vs. LS Direct vs. PostGrid Print & Mail

There are not a lot of competitors to compare this product with, but ActiveDocs holds its own as a very useful software for the need. I recommend doing a demo to see how the process works, but it's rather streamlined and easy to create a template and produce a document from it.

Perfect for companies that send mail at scale and want automation without infrastructure. Less ideal for very small teams doing infrequent sends.

• The User Interface was pleasant to use.
• it is a very intuitive software
• the available templates help and facilitate the day-to-day work

Very good usability overall. Any user can pick this up and run with it. HotDocs, the closest competitor, has similar end-user usability, but from a designer of templates perspective, ActiveDocs definitely has the edge in this regard. I would recommend this for any company that mass produces documents from templates as deliverables.

1. Bulk mail processing and campaign automation.

2. Real-time delivery tracking.

3. Easy API integration with CRMs.

The software overall is very excellent. It responds quickly and produces documents well. The integration with systems makes data input easy. Questions can be designed to allow further expansion of template creation/customization. The rules section is very useful for complicated If/Than/Else style templates. Although experience and training help, the software is very user-friendly out of the box.

ActiveDocs can be a considerably complex product because your use cases can be potentially endless. In our experience, when we have come across a problem or issue with the product ActiveDoc's support has always responded to our queries within 24 hours. Support is only provided via email in 95% of cases. Each year your support and maintenance includes support hours. These are used when you contact support and your issue is not found to be a bug or problem with the product (completely fair and understandable). When we've identified or discovered bugs (mainly with the latest version of Word) it is patched by the next release. They typically release about 4-5 updates per year.

In relation to other software that have a functionality similar to ActiveDocs, they don't even compare in relation to the interface, I didn't use all the software available on the market, but the ones I used and I can compare, ActiveDocs is without a doubt the best among them. We really likes the interface.

PostGrid is our main solution for managing and automating outbound mail. We use it to send both one-time letters and recurring transactional communications. The integration with our internal tools makes the entire process smooth from template creation to mail delivery tracking. It’s removed the delays, confusion, and manual errors we used to deal with regularly.

• ActiveDocs allows us to create, edit and validate any type of content quickly and with no coding skills.
• Easy and quick editing.
• Really flexible and simple to set up
• Helped us achieve a much higher level of efficiency in our daily operations.
