Nitro Productivity Suite vs. SOHODOX

I run a professional services business from home. I need to edit documents quickly and easily and with minimal subscriptions to minimize overheads. I love that Nitro is a one-off payment to get a license to the software, and you can simply upgrade to the latest version if that's what you want, but you're not obligated to. I've been using the same version of Nitro for 7-8 years now. Despite the fact the upgraded versions have a lot of great, nice-to-have features, the version I'm on still does the job.

Sohodox is a beneficial paperless office software product that is quick to install, cost-effective, and easy to operate; it works very well with any TWAIN compatible scanner. It is a perfect solution for small business document management that features all tools which are needed to manage electronic and paper documents more efficiently. It lets you scan, index, organize, store, search and manage documents.

• Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated)
• Signing not only for yourself but for others. Helpful for those who have been granted the authority to sign for VPs and directors
• Much easier to use than some other PDF viewing services

Incentivized

• Supports all document types as well as versioning.
• Integrated across all computer and mobile device operating systems for complete access to data.
• Complex indexing that allows for advanced and fast searching.
• Easy to use interface that is not challenging for the average user.

• Converting from PDF to Microsoft Word can be complicated at times. Some parts of a document such as tables are not converted properly.
• Sometimes it appears to be easier to save MS Word documents to PDF rather than using NPS to convert. It can be a bit slow to convert at times.
• In my view, it wasn't user friendly at the beginning.

Incentivized

• Not a truly scalable software package, best fit for single or smaller organizations up to 15 users.
• Does not force structure and is less document management and more document storage / organization.
• Pricing is not cheap but is relative to what you receive, online document storage and advanced access across devices.

We will definitely be renewing the Nitro Productivity Suite. Saves the company a lot of money for something we use everyday

For the most part, the entire software is extremely easy to navigate and use. You won't need to follow tutorials or anything for the bulk of the core features, as it's all pretty seamlessly designed.

It's easy to operate.

It works as advertised.

Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers

Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free version) installed to view a small percentage of some PDFs we receive.

Well, it a good product at an affordable price, which makes it suitable for me to chose Sohodox.

• ROI was very quick as the license costs were so low. We purchased 8 licenses versus the initial 2 we were planning on for Adobe.
• More people were able to use the product than we initially thought due to low purchase costs.
• We haven't had any further costs to own the product after the initial purchase. We would need to purchase new licenses if we wanted to upgrade.

Incentivized

• Very scalable, but only to a certain level (1-15 users or so max).
• Interface and usability are user-friendly, without sacrificing features and power.
• Advanced tagging and searching allows users to save documents and organize them "their way" without forcing specific workflows.
