    DocuWare
    We currently have a scenario where we print 1,000 documents per month, one for each resident. Because of DocuWare's ability to process barcodes, we dump that pdf to DocuWare and it files it into each resident's account. We then run scripting to add each of those documents to our cloud-based property management software. Saves having to process one document at a time per resident.

    The Google Search Appliance is well suited to most site search needs and it is possible to customize the front end seen by website visitors to produce a satisfactory basic interface with basic branding applied to it. However, in some situations it may be necessary to instead make API calls from a web page to retrieve search results and the format in which those results are returned might be a little more difficult to work with.

    Cons
    DocuWare
    • No active directory integration, this doubles up user management.
    • No Outlook integration. Would be nice to be able to interact with Docuware from email.
    • No mobile application. We have many remote users that would benefit from this.

    • It's my understanding that Google is ending support for the appliance soon. This is obviously an important consideration.
    • The administrator interface is far from easy to use.
    • There is a significant learning curve for new users.

    DocuWare
    We use a third-party company to assist in the support process, and they have been great to work with. Quick turn around on issues and almost immediate communication concerning support tickets. They are more than willing to consult with our IT partners as well, which is a must for our business.

    Managing documents and processes are very similar. The added value of Docuware Cloud is seen in the administrative management and the investment cost.

    Google search has always been superior. No other search engine application can even come close.

    • The GSA was not cheap. At all.
    • There has also been a cost associated with our need to switch to another site search solution in the near future, due to Google ending support for the sppliance.
    • That said, we have so much support content that we owed it to our customers to offer a comprehensive search tool to help them find the most relevant content - and of course Google are the masters of this. However, it's worth noting that the alogorithms used on the GSA are far older than those used on google.com.
