I think the presentation layer could be improved - currently, it's too complex, and there are too many features cluttered all over the screen. Alfresco also needs to be well-integrated with Microsoft, as it's currently a nuisance for customers who rely on Microsoft's Office 365 solutions. There's a pretty obvious gap in the overlap between SharePoint when customers go to O365 and are presented with the SharePoint license and storage to start with, which Alfresco isn't taking advantage of.

Alfresco is quite well rounded at this point but if I should pick something it would be to improve the Model Manager further so it supports the full range of content model definition language. Such as support for associations and mandatory aspects.

It is a very good product. As a developer, one of things that they can improve is their development environment. They are providing a Maven-based plugin for development but it is all a manual process that we have to do as compared to other open-source products like Liferay. The best part of Liferay is its development environment. Similarly like Liferay, if Alfresco will provide an Eclipse plugin, then it will be very easy for developers to work with it.

In regards to the customization that we are doing from the back-end, they should provide some features so non-technical people can also do some level of customization easily.

The reporting feature is not there in Alfresco by default. If we want to create some reports and show them in the dashboard, we have to create a custom module for that. This can also be improved.

I would like them to consider document capture functionality.

Currently, for document capture functionality (ocr, read document metadata automatically, automatic doument classification), Alfresco needs to be integrated with document capture such as : kofax, ephesoft, etc.

While other Alfresco competitors already make document capture functionality as their default functionality.

We would like to see improvement in the numbers of documents that can be managed by the repository. We would like them to introduce NoSQL DBMS for modeling metadata and document types.

Some of the user interface could be more intuitive, such as the new record category, where the expression is a term and not really a dynamically evaluated expression as it might imply. View full review »
