NetDocuments is the most comparable, as the interfaces are very similar and features match up. Worldox on the other hand, can be much more complex and force much more structure. Worldox is a bigger investment, but scales to large organizations much better. SOHODOX is a …

Tungsten PaperPort has actually gone through SEVERAL ownership changes since I began using it - I think I initially started using it when it came bundled with a Visioneer scanner...?... but regardless, I've used it for a very long time, and it's continued to get better. I've …

Kofax PaperPort is considerably cheaper than Adobe Acrobat (Pro) and includes so much more than just PDF editing. It allows us to scan, organize, search, and manipulate our documents on the computer instead of in physical filing cabinets. The time saved doing document …
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
I've been using this for years, had many different versions of it, so I just kept upgrading and I didn't try any other software.
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
I was ecstatic to see someone moving PaperPort away from Nuance (Those in my circle of friends refer to them as Nuisance). The lack of customer involvement by Nuance made finding answers to things that sometimes irritate a user to being downright frustrating.
Maybe the purchase …
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
Purchased the Pro because of prior history with Nuance PaperPort. Wish I had done research prior to spending $199.
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
PaperPort is superior in both ease of use and functionality.
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
I don't know of any other software that manages as much as PaperPort and have never looked as I have been using the software for over 20 years! I started using the Pro version likely about 10-15 years ago.

For a smaller to medium organization, SOHODOX is a great solution when the need is collaborative storage with advanced searching. The software does a great job of allowing organization via files / folders or tagging. The cost is not cheap, but affordable, and is quick to spin up and use as well as add users as you go.

It's a good tool for the organization which still send or receive a lot of paper documents. Keeping a track of paper receipts and documents is messy and not sustainable beyond a point. With Kofax PaperPort, the documents can be digitized and stored and even the information can be structured and the processes can be automated.

Cons
  • Not a truly scalable software package, best fit for single or smaller organizations up to 15 users.
  • Does not force structure and is less document management and more document storage / organization.
  • Pricing is not cheap but is relative to what you receive, online document storage and advanced access across devices.

  • It should have a back button, so if you go from one folder to the next, it would be simple to get back to the first folder.
  • When you combine two PDFs, it should retain the title of the one that's on top.
  • The send to bar should be easier to change.

PaperPort has a few quirks, but it is the only program of its kind that actually does what it claims to do. The power of it is so much more than they claim especially when it comes to trying to achieve a truly paperless office. With PDF editing built-in, it also saves considerable investment in other PDF editing programs.

Usability
It's easy to operate.
Read full review
For us, it's only focusing processes that we're already doing... creating folders, placing scanned files into those folders, then searching for and opening up those files later, as needed. It just helps us view everything in one place - very convenient. Further, being able to drag non-native files to their corresponding source app for editing (Word, Excel, etc) is pretty nice.
