    We find eFileCabinet to be more secure than the alternative products we were using at the time, around 5 years ago.
    The system is far more robust and better suited the large number of files we needed to store, plus the amount of security and restrictions we needed to be able to …

    eFilecabinet is the best bang for the buck Digital Document Storage Solution that will replace your Physical File Cabinets in your office and lead you down the paperless digital path. With this price point comes some hiccups and speed bumps that you need to be aware of (broken software due to updates from time to time, missing features, confusing interface due to multiple ways to access your data, etc), but once you find work arounds to these items, you will see how powerful efilecabinet is.

    SmartVault sends out a cover letter with the tax returns that includes a link for them to download their tax returns, avoiding the insecurity of an email attachment. It does not include a statement retrieval feature but does work very nicely with a third-party app called FileThis. The majority of the users in the office have not been able to install the Outlook plug-in due to "a certificate error." In five years, SmartVault has not addressed this issue.

    This is my preferred PDF platform because of its accessibility and compliance. I use this for everything and recommend it to everybody. I haven't found a mobile version, so I still use the Adobe Scan app on my phone to create PDFs from paper documents, and I wish there were a mobile version like that.

    Pros
    Revver
    • eSignature integration has been a game changer four our organization. The simplification of obtaining client signature on necessary documents through this system has virtually eliminated our need for physically mailing documents to clients.
    • With our documents hosted by eFileCabinet, our team has increased capability to work from home/while on the road without needing to take along physically paperwork.
    • The search function that allows for on-page searching has been extremely useful when we're looking for older documents that we can't quite recall the title of.

    • No bloatware or unnecessary features, obnoxious update requests, or really anything that would stop you from doing what you need to do - read/edit a PDF. This is the major advantage over many competitors.
    • Opens fast, with intuitive navigation and features; great for reading and annotating PDFs. Exporting and rearranging pages is also very smooth.
    • Signing is a little unintuitive, but I believe it is reasonably done here.
    • The PDF is not a file type that is intended to be directly edited. Thus, all PDF editors are clunky. This is no different, but simple tasks like adding text on top of the document, adding comments, or highlighting are relatively smooth.

    Cons

    • It's only as good as your system for filing. We file by job number and client, without that it would be unusable, figure that out when you implement.
    • Sometimes it's slow to load.

    • Sometimes the software updates don’t make sense. Staff are encouraged to wait at least a month before downloading and installing updates.
    • The PDF converter which is supposed to covert PDF to Word format is lackluster at best and makes frequent mistakes on complex documents.
    • The PDF editor is robust but doesn’t deal well with images.

    Usability
    Revver
    eFileCabinet gets the job done and is fairly easy to use once you find a few workarounds and understand how the software works. Using the browser interface next to the desktop sidekick app is needed when it should all be included in a single app. Users always wonder "why do I have to open both the browser and the sidekick interfaces to do a simple task". Basically one does what the other doesn't do and Sidekick is needing to be open regardless for the printer/scanner upload functions, but is limited on what you can do compared to the browser interface. The mac Sidekick is still in beta and makes me wonder how much longer it will be supported or updated...

    Other that a PDF partially disappearing if left up for a long period of time - no issues. (If you close it and reopen it, it is all there. We have some PDFs that are 400-600 pages long.)

    The software loads very quickly, their servers are great. The software can be a tad buggy or quirky at times but it gets the job done which is why it's an 8 out of 10 rating. Their desktop printer and scanner software could use an update so that windows updates don't break it from time to time too.

    Pages nearly always load at the expected rapid speed. Some documents that print quickly from Adobe Reader print much more slowly from Power PDF. I have never generated a report - that's a feature I didn't know existed until now and do not know what it's for

    It makes workflow so much easier, including the ability to save in the cloud makes it accessible from anywhere. I save very little on our server now which means this also makes filing more secure. I literally save and research via the platform several times a day.

    Tungsten is much easier to use than Adobe products. We replaced Adobe with Tungsten and have never looked back. We are very happy with the switch in terms of both ease of use and cost. Creating, editing, searching, and converting documents has never been easier. Tungsten was a great investment.

    Not really familiar since I'm the only person who uses it. But in the past it has been my understanding that Power PDF was offered only on a single-license basis, so it's been expensive for me to use it at home and at work because I had to pay for it on my own. In my current position management supports it so I at least only have to pay for it once.

    • Pricing is budget friendly.
    • Pay only for the number of users you need. I needed 2, so I pay for 2. Other DMS programs come with up to 5 users and charge accordingly. This gives me the flexibility to grow my business at my rate - not someone else's.

    • has made sharing documents with large numbers of clients easier
    • has forced us into using their service, or spending time to find a better alternative, in my experience.
    • Speaking personally the product has cost us several thousand dollars over predicted budget costs for a 3-year projection

    • Cost savings due to it being a one time payment and not a recurring monthly payment.
    • Their support still helps even if you purchased the product a long time ago with a one time payment, which is not the same for every company.
    • They help transfer the local license from one pc to another, their support, which helps the process and also saving money so you do not need to buy it again.
