DocStar has more options and security levels and better OCR capability.
Chose Epicor ECM
Briefly evaluated Veeam before settling on new DMS that had these features. That product looked outstanding, but couldn't justify the duplication of costs for similar results. Did not get a lot of chance to use it, but the mobile availability to access the console looked great …

This was the software that was chosen for the company before I was employed.
Chose Epicor ECM
A former employee of our company chose DocStar after much research and Q&A with the DocStar seller. I believe she truly put a lot of time/effort into choosing this system, but the end result is that it is not a good match for our company. After reviewing her notes, I believe …

Chose OpenText eDOCS
We used other software tools for management and found them to be somewhat similar to OpenText but the customer service provided by them is what made us go with them
Chose OpenText eDOCS
I have not used another electronic content management platform in my current role. OpenText eDOCS is a cost-effective and reliable product that has given the best services. The product operations have highly enhanced my team to finish many projects within the set deadline. It …
Chose OpenText eDOCS
At the office, we used to manage our documents in Google Drive within a shared folder. While yes, it allows for easy sharing of documents, it has nowhere near the number of functions OpenText eDOCS provides. While Google Drive is not a document manager per se, that's what we …
Chose OpenText eDOCS
Microsoft SharePoint is a simpler alternative for OpenText eDOCS. It can be used for the same objectives, i.e. to share and manage content, search for information, and collaborate across business areas. Integration with other applications and platforms can be rather limited, in …
Chose OpenText eDOCS
More or less all work the same. But for our project, we choose OpenText eDocs.
Chose OpenText eDOCS
Although I occasionally use other document managers, OpenText remains my favorite, as it does an excellent job of managing content and documents in a variety of scenarios. And also integration with the cloud is essential nowadays. The other tools don't integrate the interface …

It is well suited for billing service storage and retrieval. It ends the need to pay extra for a storage space. It also makes for easy cleanup of files on a yearly basis.

Pros
  • Templates - By being able to create templates for each document type, it made organizing files much easier. It also made the titles similar in format, which also allows for better organization.
  • We were able to scan documents directly into docStar, which helped us eliminate extra steps. For example, if we were missing a page from a document, and we received it at a later time, we could scan just that page into docStar as opposed to scanning the entire document again.
  • The functionalities are straight forward, so it is not hard to use the docStar system.

Cons
  • The procedure to save documents is cumbersome -- too many steps.
  • The naming process is not intuitive.
  • Emailing large documents from DocStar can be impossible -- if a document is large, we sometimes are unable to email it from DocStar.
  • Customer support has not been good. Training is confusing, and even after training sessions, we do not fully comprehend how to use the software.

Return on Investment
  • We have saved almost 10,000 dollars a year just in toner cost. We had to implement some up front cost for tablets and other computer aspects but the initial cost of this was about 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. docStar has saved us an instrumental amount of money and will so in the future as well.
