Workflow automation where you need business resiliency adjusting processes during time to enhance client experience. Zuri is easy. It allows easy updates on stablished (simple and robust!) processes to enhance the workflow. Operations Eficiency gets focus on reducing the human hours and human errors in communications (e-mails), manuals tasks such as spreadsheets and data treatments, all types of repetitive tasks can be automated. Easy, simple and fast by non technical people. Scenarios where you need to automate workflows to ensure qualify and controlling the progresses and productivity of teams, people and organizations. Dashboards and reports specifically created for my own KPIs and goals. I could benefit from more business intelligence, getting my operations data structured (structurated data) and then used Analytics to better understand where and how to improve my operations to: increase client experience, improve profit margins while I was decreasing costs and waist.

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.

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 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.

We tried other options, saw many demos, some customized, and used some Trials. Zuri was faster and simpler to model processes and activate the automation solutions. Zuri does now require technical knowledge to automate processes. Business people (citizen developers) can easily create their own automations in simple way, in minutes. Despite, Zuri is less expensive. And, it is used by entire organization, not only IT teams. Although IT teams have the governance (full governance and control - including auditing reports ready in clicks) the business people are on the spot too. IT teams use it to accelerate (faster and better, more controlled!) automation solutions (from simple to complex - all with drag and drop feature) the business people (Sales, Marketing, HR, Suppliers, Logistics...) they can easily automate their processes without the waiting time until IT team can deliver what is needed today.

• 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

• ROI was around 7 to 9x the second option we had.
• Less expensive than other BPMS tools (options), very fast to implement.
• Additionally, this is a BPMS tool that is used by all organization, not only IT teams.
• Democratized expertise on automation leaving IT team free for more strategic projects rather than creating processes/workflow automation solutions for businesses teams.
