In my opinion, OpenText Content Suite Platform provides more powerful product and highly integrated solutions more than OCR solution that Abbyy provides.
I think OpenText Content Suite Platform obviously provides stronger support and services that Abbyy support and services …

OpenText comes in different versions and you are able to choose depending on your departmental or organizational needs. In terms of functionality and capabilities, it was able to offer more value as it checked all the boxes in terms of long-time retentions, reporting …

OpenText Content Suite Platform replaced an existing Records Management solution and checked all of the boxes in regards to capabilities surrounding search, physical objects, long-term retention, and reporting capabilities.

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 …

OpenText Content Suite has been an amazing addition to our business thanks to its many features and capabilities. The fact that OpenText offers many versions makes its products competitive because there is so much we can accomplish with these products. Price wise, OpenText …

OpenText is stronger in the management of high volume and secure information. However, SharePoint, while less functional from a document management perspective, provides a much stronger user interface which eases user adoption and the presentation of content. SharePoint also …
Chose OpenText Content Suite Platform
SharePoint is not very strong on records management as part of the base system. So after evaluation, it was found to not comply to all needs and therefore discarded. We also evaluated Afresco which is an opensource offering. The problem was that we could not find enough people …

Chose pdfFiller
I have not used other products - PDFfiller was the first one I tried and have kept my annual subscription active since it was so easy to use.
Chose pdfFiller
Works great. Filling out pdfs used to be a pain in the rear. PDFfiller is a great app and defiantly makes my life a lot easier. Some of the other apps can be a real pain in the rear. It’s just east to use what can I say. I can imagin my phone without it.
Chose pdfFiller
There are SO many options for this category. What I will say is that I am not always in control nor am I always able to suggest going PDF. People have their rhymes and reasons foro why they use what they do.
My next most frequently used option is DocuSign, which by all means is …
Chose pdfFiller
i have never looked for a similar product. i didnt even know similar products existed!
Chose pdfFiller
I have never been sent a legal document via PDFfiller, only Docusign. We only use Docusign for legal and accounting matters because that is what our accountant, solicitor and real estate agent choose to use.
It is my understanding that Docusign is more appropriate for contracts …
Chose pdfFiller
This is my first time using a service like this. I chose this because it was what a previous coworker used to do the job i am doing now. I would not change services as PDFfiller is very easy to use and navigate.
Chose pdfFiller
I've not had to try any others. I was fortunate to stumble on PDFfiller as my first choice and I've never had to use anything else.
Chose pdfFiller
They only other one I looked into (but didn't use) was the editor made by Adobe. The price was prohibitive for a small business like mine.
Chose pdfFiller
I find it much easier to use and more user friendly than Adobe Acrobat
Chose pdfFiller
I have not used many others but in my field there are real estate specific options like Glide or Homelight that offer pdf editing but I don't think they offer as much editing features I need and is not as smooth to operate.
Chose pdfFiller
I googled filling a PDF over 5 years ago, this is the first software that came up. It has been so helpful, easy to use and reasonably priced, we have not looked elsewhere.
Chose pdfFiller
Easier for a small practice and more cost effective
Chose pdfFiller
Docusign is very limited in my opinion. The software itself is also very clunky and skips around too much for my brain to handle. The UI is also confusing and looks sort of pieced together.
Chose pdfFiller
PDFfiller is much less expensive than DocuSign and you will get more for your money. Docusign charges a ton of money for their product. PDFfiller can do basically the same thing.
Chose pdfFiller
I like this better than Adobe but not as much as DocuSign mainly b/c DocuSign is more readily accepted for electronic signature and also DocuSign has better name recognition.
Chose pdfFiller
Adobe isn't user-friendly in my opinion. I can't save a pdf easily when I want to only select certain pages. PDFfiller is much faster and does everything I need and the interface makes more sense to me.
Chose pdfFiller
I have only sued PDFfiller as it met my needs at the time and the price was awesome!
Chose pdfFiller
Honestly, I'm not sure I could assert that PDFfiller is necessarily better than the competition. It's definitely adequate enough for the tasks I need it for that I quit looking for another service to use.

Your organisation has to support the type of document and records management needed for this to work. In an organisation that only needs to store documents and maybe share with many different parties, this might not be the best-suited software. In a large organisation with stringent document and records management policies, this suite is well suited. It makes management of documents across business units easy to manage and control.

Honestly, everyone should know about PDF filler. But then again, its my little secret, lol. I love the fact that I can make edits to PDF seamlessly and professionally. I also love the fact that the documents i need to fill out, sign and return look great. Not like i printed them and then tried to use a phone scanner to send them back. PDF filler is what allows me to travel without a printer

  • Its user interface makes it a very easy-to-operate app. Without having adequate technical knowledge any user can operate it easily.
  • It works very fine on adding text on any part of a PDF document and It also allows users to delete pre written text from a pdf file.
  • It can also convert PDF files in other office formats with good quality.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Manually resending the document was a feature that seems to have been taken away.
  • Templates for Send To Sign letters. I basically have to type the same information over and over again each time. I was hoping that it would save it but it doesn't seem to have that function
  • Signer cannot save the document once it has been signed. I have to make sure that there is a note within the email that states that I will send them a copy.
  • Wish it had a way to send me a copy of the email I sent.

I don't fully understand all the features and I could probably be using it better, especially the templates. The organisation of exisiting files could be better (ie similar to folders on a pc/laptop). I haven't really invested much time into exploring it further than filling out forms; There possibly is an organisation solution I haven't discovered yet

If you need help, you can easily search for it and find online tutorials that walk you through how to do specific things step by step. You do not have to read a 20 page manual or sit for a 10 hour training session, it is refreshing that you can take it at your own pace and learn things as you need to

When I was hired on by my current company I was already a paying customer, so I just brought it with me. Once I showed our President/Founder how simple it was to use for our contracts, agreements, and NDAs, it has been a staple in our company ever since. That was almost 3 years ago. We've closed quicker because of the speed at which we can turn signed docs around.

OpenText comes in different versions and you are able to choose depending on your departmental or organizational needs. In terms of functionality and capabilities, it was able to offer more value as it checked all the boxes in terms of long-time retentions, reporting capabilities, physical objects, and searches are great.

There are SO many options for this category. What I will say is that I am not always in control nor am I always able to suggest going PDF. People have their rhymes and reasons foro why they use what they do. My next most frequently used option is DocuSign, which by all means is a top performer as well. The ease and universal comfort of PDF Filler resonate on a higher level of subconscious use globally so it becomes second nature like using text messages to video conferencing
