Dancing Numbers vs. Laserfiche

Dancing Numbers is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses needing an easy-to-use, cost-effective accounting solution, particularly during transitions from manual bookkeeping or other software. It’s especially useful for firms with basic accounting needs or limited expertise, offering automation for routine tasks. However, it may not be suitable for large enterprises with complex financial operations, businesses requiring advanced customization, or those in highly regulated industries. It also might fall short for companies with extensive international operations or high transaction volumes.

Laserfiche is perfect for businesses that need a place to appropriately store their documents digitally and want an environment to grow from. Adding Laserfiche Forms helps grow a business' ability to process their work and reach their customers easier. Laserfiche could be used for all sizes of businesses but may not be as worth it for very small businesses.

I am very satisfied with Laserfiche. I have found that certain larger jobs may are slow. This may also be related to our infrastructure environment. We have been able to tune Laserfiche to increase performance on larger jobs.

Performance, of course, is largely dependent on the underlying environment. Laserfiche does its part with multi-threading, taking advantage of multi-core servers on scanning, workflows, and bots.

Workflows can be poorly written and perform recursive work slowing down the system. It's better to run batch type workflows at night when possible.
