As per the current market and the line of products that are available for content and document management system, Alfresco is a very good option compared to other systems in terms of features and cost.

The UI is very intuitive, most of our users figure out how to use the platform by themselves, so there's not much training needed.

You can upload files by using the web drag and drop, WebDAV, FTP, and more.

Most of the platform already works as-is so you can just deploy it using Docker and it's mostly ready to go.
