JungleDocs takes properties and parts of an existing document and puts them into a new one. The vendor’s value proposition is that this prevents possible mistakes and saves up to 90% of the user’s time that would be used on inputting and copy-pasting operations. Key features include: Word and PowerPoint document generation and automation Document mail merge from SharePoint lists Template processing engine uses Open XML technology for very fast and…
If you're looking to automate categorization of expenses and help avoid human error, this is a good option. It takes a bit of dialing in at the onset but afterwards can be set to work very well on its own. Splitting invoices and other customizations was helpful in cases of large complicated invoices.
Great for maintaining consistent language in proposals, contracts, RFI responses, and other legal documents. We can make sure our language passes our legal, regulatory and compliance departments without burdening each document with detailed reviews. This saves us time. When responding to RFIs, we have some standard language to several hundred questions and we can answer them by clicking the boxes. We put in an RFI response question # so they can easily be sorted to match the RFI document. Again, I can't count the labor hours saved. We use this to build plan documents and plan adoption agreements using building blocks that are added by selecting the sections and clicking some checkboxes to determine what gets added. JungleDocs is great for these use cases.
Auto population of documents from files stored on SharePoint. Eliminates extra steps for more efficacy.
Can also set up automation for managing documents. Our department uses specific naming conventions for our documents and JungleDocs allows the naming conventions to be automated to help eliminate human error.
The ability to update fields in headers and footers, if they change after the document has been created
When content or metadata change, the document doesn't auto update the fields in the document, you have to manually go and click the update option (excludes fields in headers or footers footers)
At the time we implemented Hubdoc (more than 2 years ago) it was quite cutting edge and did have strong advances from the competition plus its pricing was definitely more competitive (flat rate vs price per data extraction model). However, currently the competition has caught up and now many of Hubdoc's core features are being built into online accounting software natively.
I don't have hands-on experience with any of the other software I mentioned. I have done a good deal of research with them, but did not find any particularly compelling reasons why they were better. The real reason I selected Hubdoc was because they offered a free, no-strings-attached lifetime account for QuickBooks ProAdvisors. Had they not offered that, I would not have tried it or been writing this review. Great job on the partner program, Hubdoc!
JungleDocs was intuitively easier to use than eFileCabinet and Sharepoint. JungleDocs works with Sharepoint to extend its feature set and make it easier to use. Our team didn't feel that eFileCabinet was suitable for all of our use cases, especially the RFI response documents. We used a scorecard to rank the products and JungleDocs proved to be the winner.
