Overall Satisfaction with NetDocuments

NetDocuments is used across the organization by all legal practices and administrative groups. The system centralizes document storage, providing a searchable platform across the enterprise. It also serves as a repository for archived email messages offloaded from Outlook servers.

Pros

  • Searching: NetDocuments' searching capabilities put it on par with other legal search engines used for research and knowledge management purposes.
  • Scalability: Despite the ever-increasing number of items stored in the repository, time searching is unaffected.
  • Innovation: NetDocuments continuously looks for new solutions and updates their product regularly.
  • Ease of Update: Because it is Web-based, updates to the software do not require local installation.

Cons

  • Over-innovation: "New" isn't always "better." New features require business analysis to determine whether they actually benefit the organization.
  • Quality Control: Updating code requires not only testing the new code, but regression testing the old code. Sometimes "enhancements" cause old problems with the old code. Once users get used to the way software works, it has to keep working. They may not care for something new, especially if it causes something old to stop working.
  • iManage and OpenText
At the time of evaluation, NetDocuments far outperformed its competition in its accessibility. The company was also very responsive to customer suggestions for improvements.
NetDocuments positioned itself to work in the legal industry, and it has done a very good job. It's kept pace with the challenges presented by the law and it's grown in its offerings. Any organization that must balance mobility and security would benefit from the use of NetDocuments as a platform.
