    Easy integration with the external APIs Workflows can be invoked via REST call Wonderful swagger documentation for process REST APIs REST, MULE, CAMEL, Google Drive, and Box features are available with Alfresco Process Services The micro-service version deployment should be well documented and needs improvement

    The best case we've found for Vasion's PrinterLogic is the one that explains why we moved to Vasion's PrinterLogic in the first place. Our Windows print servers were extremely temperamental for our Azure devices and, in many cases, would take 20 minutes or more to just set up correctly. We would then have issues with printers not printing for long periods or with print jobs not showing up in the printer queue. It was also hard for the staff to install their own printers when the one they normally used went down. It was also very hard for staff to figure out how to navigate the printer list to install printers. Vasion's PrinterLogic made all of this very easy and gave the staff one easy web page to find the printer they want and install it.

    • MaxxVault is a full-featured product at a cost significantly less than its competition.
    • MaxxVault is end-user maintainable. I do not have to carry an IT staff to support this critical system.
    • MaxxVault has the best customer service support of any vendor I've done business with in my 20 year career.

    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. Plus the community support is great. Also since the product is open source, it can be extended or understood in a better way.

    Usability
    Hyland
    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.

    I would say its around 7. For us it was easy to do deploy, to use the centralised control, and not too complex compared to other printing services. However, some workflows became complicated depending on configuration. In our case, it was a bit complicated after a while. But its still user friendly.

    I am not big fan of Alfresco Content Services' support; it works on its own speed and sometimes it becomes challenging to achieve business needs. However, I appreciate regular delivery of security patches and updates

    Process was relatively smooth and overall, downtime minimal. MSI was very responsive to our needs and made the transition easier than it otherwise might have been.

    All software has some pros and some cons. Alfresco has some good pluses, and suits our environment very well. It fit perfectly in the place that we are working on. That is why we decided to go with this software. Overall, the kind of content management that needs to be done in an organization is what would determine which software to use.

    Vasion's PrinterLogic had a much better interface for installing printers for staff. It was very easy for staff to manage their own printers and install what they want or need. Vasion's PrinterLogic also seemed to be better equipped for reporting and use by our non-technical staff. We were also impressed with the support of Vasion's PrinterLogic and how easily they answered all of our questions.

    Return on Investment
    Hyland
    • Instant document lookup - No paper files to mail which saves in all areas of postage, truck delivery, physical storage warehouse space, printing, etc
    • No longer losing important documents - Previously with paper files things would go missing and those could be costly reports/assessments.
    • Ability to secure documents and provide access to only those who should be allowed to see that content

    • Having seen similar organizations implement software solutions costing upwards of $1 million, I can safely say the ROI on our MaxxVault implementation has paid off massively for our customers and staff. We could not do what we're doing without MaxxVault.
