Pros

Integration with other applications, namely Drupal and Moodle, was simple and works beautifully.
The UI is intuitive, clean, and friendly. Users have required little training for basic functionality.
We have been pleased with the overall system performance of Alfresco Enterprise Content Management.

Alfresco Process Services and Alfresco Application Development Framework integration makes for best functionality/application of ECM.

Integration with multiple silos for content.

Some users might find the user interface a bit dull and un inspired
We found the way to use multiple workspaces a bit confusing
It takes quite a bit of planning to build a well organized workspace in order not to have way too many projects and tasks all over the place

As per the current market and the line of products that are available for content and document management system, Alfresco is a very good option compared to other systems in terms of features and cost. Plus the community support is great. Also since the product is open source, it can be extended or understood in a better way.

Usability

Alfresco Content Services 5.0

Based on 1 answer

Alfresco Content Services' UI has never been its strength from the beginning. Therefore, rating it from a usability standpoint, I will not rank it high. However, Alfresco Content Services can easily be integrated with any application and leveraged as a backend CMS or DM system. With the new Angular-based UI approach, it's very much possible to create custom UI on top of it as required.

It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

I am not big fan of Alfresco Content Services' support; it works on its own speed and sometimes it becomes challenging to achieve business needs. However, I appreciate regular delivery of security patches and updates

I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

Alternatives Considered

All software has some pros and some cons. Alfresco has some good pluses, and suits our environment very well. It fit perfectly in the place that we are working on. That is why we decided to go with this software. Overall, the kind of content management that needs to be done in an organization is what would determine which software to use.

Asana compared to Jira is certainly better in terms of user experience, since most of the people can start using it basically without having any kind of training or previous explanation, which makes it really useful not only for people already used to project management but also for people new in the matter and with a need of a tool that provides all that value in the quickest and better way

Return on Investment

Instant document lookup - No paper files to mail which saves in all areas of postage, truck delivery, physical storage warehouse space, printing, etc
No longer losing important documents - Previously with paper files things would go missing and those could be costly reports/assessments.
Ability to secure documents and provide access to only those who should be allowed to see that content

Productivity - Most of all, it allows me to be more productive and have a good sense of where I am with projects and deadlines.
Easy to use - I can make the most of my time to get up (and stay) up and running.
Project coordination - Allows me to assign tasks to my interns and communicate directly within the platform to keep the work train moving.
