DocLink
Chose DocLink
DocLink stacks up against them because it is free of cost so basically everyone can use it. Has better performance and reliability. The systems of record integration are amazing. Case management has also been made simpler in DocLink. You can easily send hundred of documents in …

Haven't used other software like DocLink.
Chose DocLink
As a small business, we knew we wanted some sort of system, similar to those we had used when working incorporates. However, when e came across DocuLink and trialed it against our requirements we realised very quickly it would do everything we needed it to and so didn't look …
Chose DocLink
DocLink is the 1st digital filing system that we've used. Prior to DocLink, we were manually filing invoices, capital expenditure requests, purchase orders, and contracts, and then manually boxing these files every year and shipping them to a 3rd party secure document storage …
Chose DocLink
Document sender u can only send one at a time, doclink sends mass emails all at once and can archive all your documents, making it a complete solution.
Chose DocLink
We were using both doc-link and OnBase for document routing and storage. We did get rid of OnBase and moved all documents to doc-link without issue. By choosing to have only one document management software we were able to save money in software costs.
FileInvite
Chose FileInvite
Similarly, I found FileInvite to be easier, cheaper, and has more functionality that is useful for me.
Chose FileInvite
FileInvite has a lot of nice features, but the overall cost is the company's downfall. We were able to get a lot of the same features that we need for a lot less with other companies and providers.
Chose FileInvite
Client Management, Team Collaboration, Customer Statements, Pre-Qualification, Closing Documents, Contact Database Messaging.
Chose FileInvite
There were at least two other solutions that I looked into. Of my list of needs, however, file invite had the majority of them covered, and I know that at least one other solution that I reviewed was significantly more expensive.

DocLink is a very effective program for processing and maintaining files. It allows the user to scan invoices and documents into the program and move each file throughout the enterprise as necessary for review, approval, notification, etc. It eliminates the need to spend countless hours manually filing paper documents, reduces the need for filing cabinets, reduces issues with missing or misfiled documents, and creates a much more organized and efficient system.

Our forms for summer camper parents vary depending on the needs of the camper (i.e. allergies, nutrition requirements, & program desirability such as horseback riding or preferred cabin mates). This situational form allowance is a breeze with fileinvite, and the setup process is intuitive and very easy to manage as a collaboration across our entire team

Usability
DocLink is VERY user-friendly! The daily functions are easily taught to non-financial individuals. It's easy to understand and easy to manipulate with a simple, functional layout. The Administrative module is not too complicated, but it would be more effective if there was a more thorough "help" section or an online forum for users. All of my knowledge is self-taught, trial and error, but it would be helpful for a new user to have an online resource to address questions or issues.

Aside from a few minor recommendations, the solution is well thought through and very easy to set up. As a matter of fact, the onboarding support by the team was fantastic, and the ongoing availability to help while we were/are learning the platform has been extremely friendly and reliable.

Performance
DocLink is quite reliable and effective. Scanned documents are easy to read with very slight loss of integrity. Pages load quickly with occasional lag loading very large files. We use DocLink with MS Dynamics SL, and the two systems perform well together without much interruption or ambiguity in the process. One issue we have is in relation to the number of licenses and issues we have when a session will not close upon exit, thus suspending an available license rendering it unusable. Although very infrequent, IT has had to manually "end" a session to clear the license.

It has been pretty smooth so far. There was an issue earlier this week that resulted in corrupted invites whereby the unique secure link failed, but I was able to resubmit the invitations quite simply, and they've assured me the issue was unusual and I won't be alarmed unless it happens again sometime soon.

Return on Investment
  • Now set up it has significantly reduced admin time for everyone. I would say on average 1-2 hours per month per staff member spent on expense forms and submissions.
  • Cancelled paid version of slack as no longer needed.
