Chose Epicor ECM
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 …
Chose Epicor ECM
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 …

Formating, linking, compliance, and customized distribution. It is easy to navigate and review changes. Hospitality Management, Airlines crews, individual management systems, etc. Standardization of documents; compliance checklists easily available. If you are limited on office/ management staff and/or do not have a single base for your flight crews, Web Manuals would be the tool for you.

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.

  • Certain automated modules require validation by the user when they update themselves, it would be better if this is automated.
  • Publishing a manual as PDF can take several minutes to process, this processing time could be improved.
  • Possible compatibility issues with new IOS versions

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.
