Overall Satisfaction with PowerDMS

It is used for our entire CALEA accreditation process. It also provides online access to the department general orders and tracks receipt of revisions. We also use it for online training and completion documentation.
  • Easy to upload, publish, distribute, and keep records of signatures for general orders and revisions.
  • Training documents and videos can be uploaded and distributed with required signatures recorded.
  • Tests can be created and linked to documents or videos for required training.
  • Records of required training and general order reviews are easy to print for accreditation proofs.
  • Highlighting documents in the assessment module would be better if it worked like a regular highlighter - similar to in word.
  • It's difficult to scoll from page to page in "tasks" or other standard functions as you have to scroll from the bottom of one page to the top of another every time when moving from page to page.
  • It would be nice to be able to print comments and remarks in assessments.
There was really no other product that we looked at similar to PowerDMS and it was recommended by an assessor that had used it.
Well suited for document management of policy and procedure manuals, proof of compliance with signature tracking, etc. Cannot think of any where it would be less appropriate at present.
