KDAN PDF vs. OpenText Content Suite Platform

In my opinion, the software is good for performing any PDF operations related to annotating, faxing, converting, highlighting, e-signing, including reading (if using mobile version of the application). There is also an ability to edit files, but in my opinion it's not really comfortable to do on a mobile device because of the lack of keyboard.

Great for content management and records even for organizations whose staff are not much experienced in the technical backgrounds as it's easy to use and no previous knowledge on HTML is required. It is great for storing invoices and payment proofs and for organizations dealing with global clients for general use documents.

• The ability to fax documents without having to use a fax machine or a scanner is great - saves time and other resources (paper, man hours etc.).
• It's also nice having the feature to convert files right away in the app - and the number of various formats you're able to convert to PDF is quite high.
• The overall multifunctionality of this app is also something worth mentioning since it has features for highlighting text, editing PDFs, creating and filling out forms and much more.

• Document Management is being done well since it allows you to put in a corporate folder structure that applies to the business unit you currently work in.
• Records Management works well in this organisation as it allows you to classify the document according to the file plan, as well as manage it according to the retention schedule for tat file plan.
• The ability to collaborate on files works really well. You can share with users within your group, as well as allow other users access to the files for either read access to read/write access.
• Access control of the folder and even individual files allows you to ensure only necessary people can have the right type of access. This is especially welcome in the government environment where document management is of utmost importance.

• Sometimes the text box isn't in the right position you have placed after flattening a copy.

• The user interface and configurability of that interface lack a lot of flexibility and modern tools.
• There needs to be stronger and more powerful integration to electronic forms and workflow capabilities which are core to modern ECM.
• Management of audit and content history needs to be modernized and made more dynamic and sustainable.

The staff is comfortable with it and I doubt they'd change at this point.

I never had any issues with access internally or via VPN. But, the response via VPN, was a bit slow.

• I used OpenText nearly every day and I never had any performance issues that I can recall. That said, it's not terribly fast either.

The customer support is pretty fast and friendly.

OpenText has an outstanding support and knowledge base. All problems which couldn't be solved by us (high complexity cases) were promptly resolved and the resolution also shared with us.

The app wasn't great, in my opinion. The interface wasn't as good as PDF Reader, while the features were not that advanced.

Having used OpenText Content Suite for a long time, I can say it stands the competition. It offers many versions which is unlike many products in its category. Also, while it is not affordable, I believe the cost is justified considering what a business can achieve with this software.

• It's been great so far, having all our employees use the PDF Reader when dealing with PDFs - since it's easy to use and is quite multifunctional, we're able to accomplish quite a bit with a single app installed on all of our devices.
• It's great for saving time and adding e-signatures, so we aren't actually using any other e-signature apps.
• It's so easy to use that everyone is on board and using the app for all kinds of PDF tasks daily.

• With OpenText Content Suite, we can easily keep documents safe
• Document collaboration is easy with OpenText
• We can easily handle invoicing and automation thanks to features such as content capture and imaging.
• With OpenText Content Suite, there is better file sync and archiving
