Read full review Cons More refined configuration of when to purge documents (ex. would like to see the ability to more dynamically purge documents such as the ability to purge documents x number of years after a loan has been paid in full). Include functionality that is native to the application without having to pay for additional modules (ex. ability to configure automatic importing of PDFs without using an index file requires a separate PDF Data Input Filter module). Would like to see the ability to automatically populate the Institution number in Director Unity Client. Would like to have seen Fiserv move off Internet Explorer faster than it has. Workflows will only appear as an option in Web Director if used in Internet Explorer. Read full review IBM FileNet Content Manager's interface is complex and difficult to navigate for some users.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We selected Director because it easily integrates with Fiserv Premier core banking system. We have been using Fiserv Director for over 12 years. We haven't evaluated alternatives since moving to Fiserv Director. We did use Metaviewer prior to Fiserv Director which didn't have nearly as much functionality as Director.
