Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product allows engineering teams and developers to introduce new things in a seamless and easy way.""I like the ease of use, sections, and calendar.""Document repository.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the searching elements of the metadata."

More Alfresco Pros →

"It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along.""We standardized our CIS log processing with CA View. We support a whole bunch of LPARs, about 80 or so. When we go to an LPAR, we know just where the CIS log is, it's in CA View, and we know how to get to it, we don't have to search around for it."

More CA View Pros →

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."

More Laserfiche Rio Pros →

Cons
"Alfresco has a very steep learning curve, and unfortunately, during the learning process, it's very easy to make errors, which often are unforgiving.""Metadata, auto class, disposition log, and legal hold.""I think the presentation layer could be improved - currently, it's too complex, and there are too many features cluttered all over the screen.""I would like them to consider document capture functionality."

More Alfresco Cons →

"There was one customer we were trying convert over, and it was complicated. There were retention criteria which seemed a little more limited than with some of the other products.""I believe they do probably have a GUI interface for the laptop, so you can just use the interface instead of the mainframe ISPF interface. I think that's already available but, if not, that would be my only issue."

More CA View Cons →

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."

More Laserfiche Rio Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is cheaper compared to head-to-head competitors."
  • "There are costs for any upgrade or additional functions."
  • "If you buy Alfresco through a partner, there is usually a OEM licensing option."
  • "The license for Alfresco is expensive - not the maximum, but close. There are also extra costs once you start building integrations, as implementation seems to be very costly."
  • More Alfresco Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It requires other pieces of CA software and license keys, thing like that. That's one thing to keep in mind. It requires CA Common Services in order to actually be licensed to run on LPAR."
