    Esker On Demand is great for Sales Order Processing order creation. We use it with web services. It can make table read calls, test order creations (simulate order), and help with order creation. They are also working on change order management, but if you have multiple order entry methods or touch points, this feature may not be usable for your company.

    HighQ Collaborate is well suited to situations where a law firm maintains numerous documents for a client and the client needs access to them on a regular basis. For example, we may store the client's minute book (which is relatively common for a large corporate law firm to do), but the client may need access to documents in that minute book on a regular basis. Likewise, we have an internal system at the firm for hosting digital versions of closing books, however, many clients would not have a similar system because they would only receive closing books irregularly. USBs get lost and the client might not want to put the closing book on the main server where anyone can access it. By putting the closing book on the extranet site, the individuals in the client's organization who should be able to access the closing book can do so.

    • Document sharing. This product makes it easy to upload, review and organize documents related to a particular project or matter.
    • Permissions. Collaborate allows very granular permissions to be assigned for shared documents and administrative activities such as workflows.
    • Reliability. The product is cloud-based and rarely, if ever, unavailable.

    Cons
    Esker
    • We can't enter credit memos in Esker. Need to enter in SAP and then link.
    • PO invoices that were trained to go into the PO bucket, route into the non-PO buckets.
    • Freight invoices that have had hundreds going into the non-PO bucket have a tendency to route to the PO-bucket because a PO number is referenced on page 7.

    • It is just not that exciting. We host documents on there for clients but the extranet sites have ultimately turned out to not be a product that our clients are clamoring for or that we are regularly pushing.

    Usability
    Esker
    Esker does everything that it promises to do, but it is very hard to figure out. I am a very tech-savvy person, but I needed extensive training to be able to use the basic functions of Esker. Once you know what you're doing, it's not too hard, but I don't understand why they couldn't make it easier to use.

    Esker
    They have been very helpful and the online support site is awesome. They keep the site up to date with the latest changes and present challenges to keep learning the new updates to keep things entertaining. They are overall a great crew to work with

    The interface is easy to use and overall the software seems pretty robust (I haven't had any crashes yet), so I haven't had to use the support very often. Likewise, I don't think I've ever had a client e-mail me with questions or issues - the software is pretty idiot-proof.

    Alternatives Considered
    Esker
    I have listed a few that we considered but there were many more in the initial assessment, Esker was priced well and had the best user interface. Was really easy to use and the implementation process was well designed. It was a system that could handle a two tiered delegations of authority for project expenditure and operational expenditure.

    I feel that HighQ does not really have any real competition in this space because it simply accomplishes its goals far better than the competition at lower cost, while requiring less training and administration.

    Return on Investment
    Esker
    • We now have reporting available down to the individual field level (changes, errors, etc) and can calculate cost to serve.
    • It replaced on-premise hardware with cloud SaaS that is more cost effective and risk adverse.
    • It is more intuitive; we can put new hires on order entry and experience less user errors. As a solution owner who fixes problems and answers questions, I don't find myself having to "think" about Esker and it has become a smaller part of my job now that end-users are more self-sufficient.

    • Permits fairly simple administration by a single person for hundreds of Extranets
    • One shop stopping for reliable, secure document sharing and signing with external parties
    • Simple enough to use that internal and external users do not need training to take advantage of the product.
