Foxit PDF Editor meets all of our business needs in terms of a PDF editor software. The price for Adobe Acrobat Pro was cost-prohibitive.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
In our case Cost was the deciding factor. We don't have a need for any advanced tools or features. Our use cases involve merging or splitting up documents, e-signatures and simple markups.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) is cheaper and easier to purchase and renew. It's layout is easier to navigate. They have used the same type of layout as Microsoft Office products so it is easier for Team Members to find what they need. It also has a few more features than …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit PDF Editor had the most tools that I frequently use and it had them right where I expected them. All of the others that I demoed either lacked tools I use often or were not nearly as intuitive to use.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
1. In Kofax the functionality of the component is limited in that it cannot process PDF files larger than 2 GB due to the technological constraints of LeadTools. To process large PDF documents, it is advisable to use
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit PDF Editor is much more intuitive than Adobe and Apple Preview and some other PDF editors. The interface and UI are easier to manage and collaborate with, and export cleanly. It is also a good tool for more simple design projects. It's easier to merge multiple PDFs and …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit comes with an offline solution that can be deployed across the company. The price is good, compared with Adobe but a bit less competitive than Kofax. The interface compared to other mentioned tools is easy to deal with and seems to be intuitive for the users who uses …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
I have used Adobe is the past, and it worked just fine. However, I felt that in order to complete the tasks I needed to, I was having to take 4-5 steps just to do one thing. With Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom), most of the issues I ran into with Adobe were one simple click …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom contains all the functionalities that you want from Adobe such as creating PDFs, editing PDFs, sharing PDFs, encrypting PDFs, and being a cheaper alternative. The user interface is very intuitive and matches up well with other common software like Microsoft Word …

Foxit has its own use. Compared to Bluebeam, Foxit is a way more affordable option. Foxit is a great and affordable solution for most users. The program doesn’t quite stack up against Bluebeam as far as features go. But that’s also why Bluebeam costs $350 and Foxit only costs …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Can't beat the cost and quality when compared to the more well known competitor software suites. Also much better than the random, not so well made and supported similar software out there. FoxitPhantom PDF is a solid tool to have on your computer, you will not be disappointed.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF does everything Adobe does and much quicker from the program opening to saving files.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF is a no-brainer when compared to Adobe Acrobat. It is extremely cheaper for virtually the same product. It has all of the features that I loved about Adobe Acrobat, but for a fraction of the price. I would say FoxitPhantom PDF isn't just competitive - it's the …

We were looking at ways to help reduce our license costs, and that is what made us look into alternatives to Adobe Acrobat. The license costs about half of what we were spending for Adobe, so it was a straightforward choice for us to make. Aside from a learning curve associated …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Our main reason to review Foxit was due to the many challenges that we incurred with Adobe conversions. Additionally, trying to get Adobe to answer our inquiries was trying at best. Foxit is simply better at what they do. Another nice benefit is that Foxit is a fraction of …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Simpler to use, just as functional if not more so. Better, smoother integration. We went with it because of its wide functionality and client support. Overall, for the money, it is better and more reliable software.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF is a cheaper alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It can get the job done with basic PDF needs, but the user experience is not a slick as the Adobe products with the recent updates. Foxit was ultimately selected to reduce the costs for a basic PDF reader and editing …

FoxitPhantom PDF has all the same basic features that Adobe Acrobat carries, except I have personally found the editing and annotating features to be superior with FoxitPhantom. Not to mention it feels like Adobe Acrobat comes with more bloated software, whereas FoxitPhantom …

In my experience, Foxit Phantom PDF offers the exact same functions and abilities that Adobe Acrobat does. Our company chose Foxit because it was significantly less expensive.

I would say that when you want to get a bigger share of the market and take business from long time consolidated applications like Acrobat, you really need to try harder and give something more to the user to be able to change their mind and switch to Foxit.

Chose Foxit PDF Editor
I have used Adobe pdf reader before I discovered FoxitPhantom PDF. Compared to Foxit Adobe have fewer features and a less appealing user interface.
Wrike
Chose Wrike
Wrike was better in terms of task layout and project setup/organization.
Chose Wrike
Wrike is much simpler to use and customize.
Chose Wrike
Wrike has a broader application than task management apps like Toggl or Todoist. I do use Toggl as a basic time tracking software, however Wrike covers more ground. It is robust and user-friendly, and much less expensive than MS Project.
Chose Wrike
We used RoboHead prior to Wrike for document control and project management. Wrike is by far more advanced and interactive. It gives us so many more opportunities for communication.
Chose Wrike
Wrike's UI, combined with its low-cost solutions, has been the standout factor compared to the other options sought. They have multiple license types suited to different usage, a standout compared to others that don't leave you stuck paying high license fees for licenses you …
Chose Wrike
I utilized basecamp at my last position and I just remember it was extremely limited in what you could do. If I remember correctly there was no workflow integration of the platform, it was essentially just an app that you could create folders in that housed all of the files. No …
Chose Wrike
Cost and functionality. We were able to gain consensus on Wrike across numerous stakeholders. It may not be the best at everything but it's capable at a wide range of things.
Chose Wrike
Wrike was more capable that ProWorkflow (at least when we compared them several years ago) and more team/smaller workflow real time oriented than MS Project - where Project is better for detailed PM work. ClickUp is far more flexible and better value for a similar price at the …
Chose Wrike
our past products have been so hard to customize, streamline, and make work for all types of roles in the company. i feel like wrike is a great fit for everyone to work together well.
Chose Wrike
I don't have experience looking into other similar products.
Chose Wrike
Honestly for me, it depends what you’re utilizing these tools for. In my experience, some of the other project management tools I’ve used the past such as Jira are way too complex for the use case we run into with our business. I feel like the overall goal of Wrike is to …
Chose Wrike
I think Wrike is very similar to other project management platforms such as Monday, Asana and Teamwork that I have used before. As they all provide strong tools for task and project organization, one feature particularly liked by me in TW was its time-tracking functionality, …
Chose Wrike
I've used Airtable for my other marketing job and for other organizational work, but I like how much you can get out of Wrike.
Chose Wrike
I only used Asana pretty briefly, but my recollection is that it was a lot more rigid compared to Wrike.
Chose Wrike
Monday wasn't as customizable as Wrike. Basecamp is great for tracking simple tasks and communicating with outside agencies, but isn't complex enough to track projects. Smartsheet is basically a fancy spreadsheet.
Chose Wrike
We have been using Wrike for over seven years, so I don't recall the specific reason why we chose it over Asana. I recall that the functions were similar, but I think we found that Wrike offered flexibility and structure that we felt would function the best for our department.
Chose Wrike
It wasn't my choice but I do feel like there are more options within Wrike
Chose Wrike
Todoist is great for a personal task manager. However, it can not track time like you can in Wrike. Todoist also continues to rise in cost.
Chose Wrike
Wrike is more robust and suited for enterprise teams. Learning curve is more difficult and involved. Other platforms you can learn in a day or two. Wrike takes a month or two to get the hang of
Chose Wrike
Monday is a easier for project management and task tracking. Where Wrike excels is with the ticketing system for our IT, legal, or other specific teams.
Chose Wrike
Slack has more options for project management than slack. Airtable is more of a events overall CRM than project managements
Chose Wrike
Wrike is incredibly robust and customizable in a way that I have not found these other tools to be.

Great for marking up depositions or pleadings with highlights, comments, and notes during case review.
Supports Bates stamping, password protection, and other features often required for electronic filing.

Built-in tools allow for quick and secure redaction of privileged or confidential information before sharing or filing. Less appropriate if you needed to work on real time collaboration or building complex form templates from scratch.

I believe it's well suited if you have multiple jobs/projects that you need to keep organized. We work with multiple job types from print/creative to web, copy and digital ads so it helps us stay organized. I don't think it would be suitable for a company that doesn't have a lot of jobs to manage. We average over 1,200 requests a year.

Pros
  • FoxitPhantom carries superior editing tools over Adobe Acrobat and similar products. It allows you to modify text, images, & objects in a more robust fashion
  • Integrates well with Microsoft Office products such as Word, PPT, & Excel
  • Allows you to work in a nearly paperless environment
Read full review
  • Keeps projects on track
  • Provides tools that make editing and reviewing tasks much easier
  • Helps our team work effectively and efficiently despite many of us being remote workers
  • Visually accessible on multiple platforms which makes it easy to do work from anywhere

Cons
  • I have a dual monitor setup at work and there are times when I wish that I could view pdf documents on both monitors at the same time. I have not yet figured out how to do that with FoxitPhantom as it appears to limit the user to displaying multiple pdf documents as separate tabs on the same screen. If dual screen is an option in the software, it needs to be more apparent.
  • I can't think of any other desired improvements. This software really does everything that I need it to do.

  • Email alerts sometimes send too slowly.
  • If you put a project on hold, it can be hard to find it once you are ready to return to it.
  • Sometimes there are too many steps/tasks and the main page can get cluttered.

Because very few editors are so easy to use and deploy backed by speed and performance. Foxit PDF is known for its speed and performance, allowing users to open and work with PDF files quickly and efficiently
Foxit's user-friendly interface is easy to navigate and use, making it a popular choice for users who are new to PDF software.

I wish that Wrike had more drag and drop functionality that would be connected to assignee and also I wish that the finish date of a task would update to the date where you checked completed. It does not do that. Also finishing a task doesn't move the start date of the next task it "protects your time in that way", but our management team wants us to quickly see what we have down the pipeline rather than having to scroll down the list of upcoming tasks.

Usability
Functionality and features it has as well as being quiet user friendly. It would be nice though if it wasn't laggy as often and had better page organizational tools. It often bogs down when this is being done or doesn't work properly when moving pages around and needed

It does take some time and work to really understand and use it properly, but I think the accessibility to help and documentation make that completely feasible. Once you know how to use it, I find it to be very user-friendly, and have very few complaints.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
Over two years of (almost) daily usage without outages. Don't remember any errors. I give it 9 only because some Wrike plugins (for online document edit) are based on NPAPI architecture. These types of plugins are being phased out in new browsers, and NPAPI plugins are disabled by default in recent versions of Chrome so you have to do some browser adjustments when you switch browsers or move to another computer.

Performance
FoxitPhantom PDF integrates very well with the Microsoft Office products, which is where I found I use this the most. It performs about as well as can be expected, without any out of place latency. Whether it be merging, deleting, editing or rearranging pages, its performance holds up even with larger documents.

Wrike tasks loads fine, but I hate clicking files and wait for a bit of time since it is powerpoint or word, Wrike assumes I want to open those on Wrike. My suggestion is to link it to office 365 so we do not need Wrike based decoder for PPTX and DOCX

Support Rating
I haven't personally had interaction with the customer support from FoxitPhantom, however based on conversations I have had with members in the organization, I was given positive feedback. Their website has a lot of information and tutorials. If you need to contact them, they are quick to respond. User manuals are readily available.

I love the Wrike training options. Wrike Discover has tons of courses, learning plans, certifications, etc. This is an area where Wrike definitely shines! I wish these resources were more in your face for new people, because it seems like a lot of coworkers didn't know all of this training was available to them.

There are a lot of bells and whistles in Wrike, and not all of it is easy or intuitive to understand once it's plopped in your lap. It's easier when there are a few choice people who understand Wrike as a platform and articulate it in such a way where it makes it easy to pass it along to others in the group

Alternatives Considered
1. In Kofax the functionality of the component is limited in that it cannot process
PDF files larger than 2 GB due to the technological constraints of
LeadTools. To process large PDF documents, it is advisable to use
compression as a workaround. 2. In Kofax the black and white images must be created with at least 200 dpi resolution for reading new item number barcodes as we deploy in our news room.

Wrike's UI, combined with its low-cost solutions, has been the standout factor compared to the other options sought. They have multiple license types suited to different usage, a standout compared to others that don't leave you stuck paying high license fees for licenses you won't use to that extent.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
I’d go with a 9/10. It scales really well across teams and use cases, especially once you set things up properly. The only reason it’s not a full 10 is that it can take some effort to structure everything cleanly at the start.

Return on Investment
  • For a PDF software in a our company is difficult to translate the software performance into financial results. With a PDF software is a lot less obvious than an ERP of a Payroll System, but one advantage could be the savings that a lower cost of licensing would bring when it is used by a bigger number of users.
  • A positive impact is the ease of use when creating and filing new hired employees, but once again, it is hard to say that it is faster than a different PDF software and even if that was the case the savings in time would be probably unnoticeable. At least one would be having a process with no hassles when creating and saving your PDF documents for your employees.
  • So far no crashes. I have never heard a complain about Foxit crashing even when you have dozens of documents opened at the same time. We can't say the same when using other applications like Excel... This brings peace of mind and less frustrated users.
