Primarily, the ease of the user comes for our colleagues as not losing time is our priority. Besides, comfortable administration is also striking to benefit from using Laserfiche. The form creation of Laserfiche in contrast to DocuWare is doing great that provides amazing service. The web interface of the software is way better.

Laserfiche is a much more focused product that simply and accurately fills our need for routine reporting and record keeping. By taking time to work on the design of the form you can anticipate the user's needs and possible areas where further explanation may be required. By prefilling the most likely/desired report responses you can greatly reduce the amount of time a user spends completing each report.

The Laserfiche interface is very easy to use. It is very similar to uploading files on your Windows computer. With close to no training and less implementation time, it was a clear choice. Like other systems, Laserfiche does not have fancy designs or interface. This makes it easy to comprehend. It simply does what it claims, makes document management easy.

Alaris is efficient for scanning and editing, but does not provide all of the advanced capabilities that Laserfiche offers. Laserfiche also provides top-notch training to users. Alaris is a more simple software that can be easily self-taught. Laserfiche has more than just scanning and editing capabilities. It provides an organized location for documents, along with editing and sharing capabilities.

Laserfiche is the best electronic repository system i have used. The search option is unlike any system ive seen. The indexing is fantastic as well.

The core infrastructure of Laserfiche, and the end user experience, is vastly superior. OnBase has a TERRIBLE UI and administration console by comparison. The core architecture of OnBase is also more scattered, while all Laserfiche processes go through a single service. Overall, the Laserfiche product is easier and more intuitive to install, maintain, and use.

Document capture from multiple sources (scanning, web form, email, shared folder, etc.) is easier to manage and set up in Laserfiche. Integrating with third party software for document retrieval is easier in Laserfiche. Online form creation is possible with Laserfiche. The ability to export documents from Laserfiche in the event you decide to migrate is easier in Laserfiche.

Laserfiche is much simpler to implement and use. Its interface much more friendly, allowing our implementation time was much shorter. Hyland OnBase is much more complex and requires a much greater investment in the cost of licenses and hardware requirements.

I did not compare Laserfiche against other products because the City of Roanoke, Virginia had already purchased Laserfiche 6 years prior. Once I learned how to use Laserfiche and the benefits, I decided that we needed to upgrade to Laserfiche RIO to be able to use some of the new functionality and improve business processes and expand the capabilities to more departments.

Laserfiche was already being used when I started using it many years ago, there are no benefits that the competition has that would make switching a benefit. I have used Dropbox and ShareFile in several situations, neither has capabilities that outweigh laserfiche.

We previously used Vaultix, which was a wonderful product, that was ahead of it's time. Unfortunately, the application's failure to evolve, lead us to seek a replacement product. Laserfiche replaced Vaultix, and, because of Laserfiche's ever evolving and improving, we have not needed to go with another product.

Laserfiche is the leader in the ECM industry, and I believe will stand toe to toe with any competitor on the market. Not only is it on of the most advanced systems for an enterprise wide solution, but the cost is also very competitive. I also do not believe there is any competitor with an integrated forms module.

Laserfiche solved our original government document retention concerns. Collin County has integrated Laserfiche retention rules with our Criminal Integrated Justice System for closed cases. We have also integrated Laserfiche with our Property Tax System. We are able to process and deposit tax checks within hours instead of days. The process alone has earned Collin County several million dollars in interest.

We evaluated about four different document imaging solutions through vendors in the area (Marco, Imaging Path, Xerox, and Laserfiche). We choose Laserfiche because the software is made to extend beyond the years of different software going out of date. The repository can hold any document and creates an image for redunacy which has actually come in handy with documents we had problems reading because software was not availalbe. Another point, is that Laserfiche is being utlized by the government as the product is secure, robust, and simplifies digital document managment.

Laserfiche is much faster and the optical character recognition is more accurate than Adobe Acrobat Capture. It took approximately 4 times as long to scan and store a document in Acrobat Capture as in Laserfiche. Reviewing every scan was essential in Adobe Acrobat Capture because when using monospaced fonts it put spaces in between each letter on many check and invoice numbers.
