A good solution, even if it's not flashy

Incentivized
Verified User
Professional in Legal (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

  • Clean interface.
  • Designed to comply with the rigorous security and confidentiality requirements for client documents that are required by large corporate law firms.
  • Relatively easy to use.
  • The ability to replace documents with updated versions.

Cons

  • It is just not that exciting. We host documents on there for clients but the extranet sites have ultimately turned out to not be a product that our clients are clamoring for or that we are regularly pushing.

Return on Investment

  • Positive ROI for both us and the clients from reducing the number of one-off requests for access to documents.
  • Negative ROI because it is not software that has taken off in our organization.

HighQ Collaborate is a High Quality Product

Incentivized
Verified User
C-Level Executive in Information Technology (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Document sharing. This product makes it easy to upload, review and organize documents related to a particular project or matter.
  • Permissions. Collaborate allows very granular permissions to be assigned for shared documents and administrative activities such as workflows.
  • Reliability. The product is cloud-based and rarely, if ever, unavailable.

Cons

  • The iSheet functionality could be integrated a bit better with the document sharing function.
  • Less expensive integration with on-prem databases. The API is quite expensive.
  • Less expensive storage

Return on Investment

  • Permits fairly simple administration by a single person for hundreds of Extranets
  • One shop stopping for reliable, secure document sharing and signing with external parties
  • Simple enough to use that internal and external users do not need training to take advantage of the product.
