Overall Satisfaction with Nitro Productivity Suite
In my previous role, our organization used Nitro PDF and then Nitro Productivity Suite as our primary PDF creation, editing, and management tool. We owned licenses for just over half of our 150 staff members. Nitro was used for prepping content to be posted online, generating and signing of contracts/agreements and editing historical PDF files where the originals were no longer available.
- Formatting of PDFs is a strong point. Nitro contains all of the features that my organization needed and is very strong in comparison to Adobe, especially at what was a much lower cost for us.
- Nitro performs very well with electronic signatures, which allowed me to move my procurement work into the digital space.
- Securing of PDFs is another feature we used to help ensure that once the files left our control, the message could not be changed.
- OCR functionality was also very useful to turn an image PDF into editable text.
- For the on-premises version that we were using, the integration into Microsoft Office applications was not always reliable. Add-ins would lock up occasionally.
- The software wasn't updated as regularly as I would have liked. Perhaps it didn't need it, but we would usually only be notified of one or two patches per year. That could have been our issue, though.
- Nitro provided the features we needed at a very comfortable price for a non-profit organization.
We selected Nitro PDF because the features that the organization needed were comparable and the annual cost for the on-premises version of the application was considerably less expensive at the time. When we selected, Adobe was not yet in the cloud. At that time, there were also issues with getting non-profit pricing from Adobe. That made it an easy decision.
