Considered Both Products
DocuWare
Chose DocuWare
We actually moved from DocuWare to Plate IQ because Plate is restaurant specific and shares many item codes, SKU #'s, etc from major vendors. However, we continue to use DocuWare for other data management because it was so useful to us while we used it for AP.
Chose DocuWare
Managing documents and processes are very similar. The added value of Docuware Cloud is seen in the administrative management and the investment cost.
PaperTrail
Chose PaperTrail
Amazon CloudWatch logging is integrated with most Amazon products out-of-the-box. Both offer web consoles for searching logs, and both are fully-managed and can be configured easily. We chose PaperTrail because some of our services run on Heroku. We would have chosen PaperTrail …
Chose PaperTrail
While there are a number of entries in the space, PaperTrail offers a great product. Their per/GB pricing is competitive with others. It's also very easy to get into projects and teams, and automating setup is very simple. It's also very easy to set up archiving to other …
Chose PaperTrail
I only used Logz.io for a very brief time. It seemed a bit more difficult to setup than Papertrail.
Chose PaperTrail
We initially selected PaperTrail because they have the best free plan - and now we are happy paid users across many apps. A usable free plan is key for anybody who launches several instances of apps (development, staging, production), micro-services, etc.

We can use Docuware Cloud as a checks and balances program for our application processing in our data department. This is a time saver and allows us to access information at our multiple locations, as well as we have clients in various states. We can assign documents to others throughout the processing of applications, and this has allowed us to keep better track of our documentation with clients.

Usability
Fairly intuitive for average users.

PaperTrail is extremely easy to use. Engineers can open the web console and begin tailing or searching logs. Simple searches are very intuitive; you may need to consult their documentation to write more complex queries. It is also very easy to configure alerts for specific log events. Configuring log collection with PaperTrail is simple.

Pages loads quickly. The only thing I would like the team to improve is the way we are able to navigate between app groups It is easy but doesn't respond as quickly as I would like.

Support Rating
We use a third-party company to assist in the support process, and they have been great to work with. Quick turn around on issues and almost immediate communication concerning support tickets. They are more than willing to consult with our IT partners as well, which is a must for our business.

We chose PaperTrail because some of our services run on Heroku. We would have chosen PaperTrail even if this weren't the case because its search capabilities are better.

Return on Investment
  • Purchasing approval control and monitoring. Allows us to keep tighter hold of the budget.
  • Had to spend considerably more than expected. We needed to hire a developer to build integrations.

  • PaperTrail saves developers ($$$) a lot of time trying to track down where errors occured; rather than needing to SSH into machines and view error logs, all error logs for certain applications are available in one view
