## AODocs Reviews
  ### 1. Invisible Compliance Layer for Google Drive with a Powerful Metadata Engine

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marian C. | Data Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2026

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

This tool imposes the required order on the haphazardness of cloud storage. It alters a regular Google Drive setting into a document management system that is compliant, but this is without enforcing a new interface to users. It serves as an invisible compliance layer. The differentiating factor here is the metadata engine. We can impose tagging and retention rules on files that are native on Drive, which wouldn't be done with the default tools of Google. It enables us to process documents as data points and not files.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

There is a slowdown in performance when you are navigating through folders containing thousands of files. The interface wrapping can occasionally have trouble displaying large lists of files as fast as the native Drive UI, and thus can experience a bit of friction on hectic audit days.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have migrated our technical specifications (legacy) using it. We established a workflow such that a document cannot be published until the metadata has been verified and a peer review is done. It prevented the production of specs that were not officially verified.

  ### 2. Improving the use of Google Workspace

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessie Joe C. | Strategy Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 25, 2025

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

What I like most about AoDocs is how easy it is to connect with Google Workspace since it's built on top of it.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

I don't like that in Aodocs, to add new users I have to delete another user, as would be expected, but the platform automatically adds new users without letting me select them.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had a problem ensuring document control in the company, AODocs solved this for us by generating specific keys for each document as well as a highly specialized authorization workflow according to our needs

  ### 3. Easy integration and implementation, even without being a developer

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2026

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Ease of integration and implementation due to easy configuration, but when one is not a developer.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

A staging environment for development is missing, as well as a deployment tool.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

GED

  ### 4. It seems to be compelting all the requirements of a client

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** lakhan s. | sr. mechanical engineer, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2025

Number of featurw ans ease of integration

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

customer support seems to be little lacking at the moment

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ease of integration and document handling

  ### 5. AODocs empowers businesses of all sizes to streamline their document-related processes.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eugene P. | Senior Digital Workplace Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2024

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Comprehensive features, ease of use, and exceptional customer support, AODocs enables us to deploy advanced features with ease to enhance productivity, improve collaboration.  Those responsible for key decisions can do so based on accurate and up-to-date information.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Honestly, nothing negative to add. Havng worked on Microsoft SharePoint for more than a decade, I find AODocs and the Google plateform far more enjoyable to interact with.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As an application development plateform, AODocs is the primary go to solution for managing the organizations "controlled content".

  ### 6. Helpful tool to manage forms or documents that are linked to a workflow.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

A lot of flexibility to design the workflow, assignment of  roles,  actions and permissions. I like the option to use scripts to automate values, titles, etc.  It is great to be able to extract automatically the database in a Google sheet with periodicity and then link it to a Data Studio dashboard to get analytics and visualizations.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

It does not have check boxes.  The predefined values fields are ok, but when selecting a 2nd level, the selection and visualization is not user friendly. I would like to have more flexibility to design the section where the user has to enter the property values. Titles in bold, increase font, color selection,  I would like to have more learning content with real examples and videos.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automation of document management. Standardization and better control.

  ### 7. Not suitable for handling large document sets for medical device development

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ed B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2023

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

AODocs integrates with google drive as well as being useful for microsoft office documents. It is flexible when it comes to adding metadata and defining worfklows.

The new API is easy to use and reasonably documented, which will make AODocs easier to  work with.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

It isn't easy to get files out of AODocs. Exporting more than 30 files becomes very time consuming. This makes AODocs not suitable for those developing large technical files. 

The basic package (already expensive) doesn't allow the insertion of fields (e.g. document title, etc.) directly into documents which is also a critical part of managing large technical files. 

Templates are not shared across libraries which makes this hard to scale to multiple projects. 

It is not possible to link documents across libraries which makes it hard to manage a multi-project QMS. 

AODocs has bulk updater which doesn't work well with large datasets.

Loading a document in a library can still take up to 20 seconds.

Technical and commercial support is not responsive. Developing custom scripts requires a lot of guesswork as the documentation set is poor. They generally just want to sell you piecemeal extensions. For a small company, these are often equivalent to hiring someone to do the job manually making it very hard to justify.

Overall, I think we've spent longer trying to work around AODocs limitations than if we'd just developed something simple suited to medical device QMS from commonly available tools.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

AODocs acts a version control system and our approval system for ISO13485 compliance. Although it allows us to tick that box, it is not necessarily providing the value that we might expect in terms of reducing the overall time spent controlling a more manual system. Document assembly is extremely challenging.

  ### 8. A very good workflow tool with easy configuration!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2024

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

- easy configuration
- agent is always helpful!!!

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

the knowlegde based doc/website needs to be filled in with more examples. as sometime I could not find what I want, I send a ticket.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Workflow is good

  ### 9. AODocs Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Easy to use.  Documents are secure, controlled, and still available to view by all staff.   Google-based so all history is maintained.  So the programmers listen to our suggestions and have adapted the program to our needs.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

No notice of developmental updates.  Programmers make changes to the effect location of features and no notice is sent out.  Usually, not an issue but a heads-up would be nice that something has changed.  This is still happening - no updates are given when changes are made to the system.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ability to control and share.  Because this program is easy to use more people are using it.  Our document control is better and takes less tie to updates and maintenance.  For problem-solving past revisions are viewable to view.

  ### 10. Very thorough while also timely

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeffry E. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2023

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

I got to say that the customer service it top notch. They actually pay attention and thoroughly review your issue.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

I would say the downside is the sales looking to up your package. There is also a downside of the secure folder being hard to work with.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Securing files while managing access by role.

  ### 11. Workflow permissions

Housing digital age data for our assets

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2023

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erdem A. | SEÇ Uzmanı/ HSE Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

More than one approver can be added.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

As an admin, I cannot take the confirmation step to the workflow I want. I can take it to intermediate workflows. However, in the workflow, I would like to take it directly to the "publish" screen. However, I don't know how it was set up. For this reason, I realized that I couldn't do it.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

I recommend it.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Saving documents. To be able to access old versions. To be able to see who is processing and when in the workflow.

  ### 14. Great product, great team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matt W. | Senior Project Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

AODocs offers a world class enterprise content management solution for businesses of all sizes. Around this, they have a great product development, support and professional services team that can help you get the most out of the product, and they are developing a community of like-minded customers who can draw on each other's experiences. With extensions for mass data manipulation, migrations tools from various sources and connectors to other relevant services, the ecosystem of functionality is impressive.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

It would be good to further develop the Domain Administration controls to give more transparency about content and usage across the whole tenant.
The Feature Requests forum is a nice idea, but many good upvoted suggestions don't seem to make it onto the roadmap. This is the area where customers convey what they want / need - would be good to give this a bit more priority.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Give it a go. It's easy to use, easy to scale out and easy to administer.
The support team and professional services are great, they'll get you up and running in no time.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Understanding of the content within our organisation and its usage
Granular access controls and improved security
Improved ability to find content
Workflow and state-based access management control

  ### 15. Unparalleled response time. Support Agent provided extensive detail in response to my inquiry.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eugene P. | Content Management Consltant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Upon receiving comprehensive instructions, the assigned agent sent me an optional meeting request to ensure I understood. Later that afternoon, he walked me through the process. Made my day/week!

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Respectfully, this is not a valid question as I couldn't be happier. This review is long overdue.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Pick your most challenging use case and compare AODocs response to whomever you are considedring. The value proposition will become quite clear.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

AODocs enables us to solve complex business process right out of the box!  New features become available like clockwork. Having spent years with SharePoint and Nintex, the AODOcs workflow engine is second to none. I (we) have yet to encounter a business scenario that we could not overcome. AODocs is a top-notch solutions provider.

I like that a strong user can develop content and get benefits without having to continually go to specialists to create a usable process with this tool.

The training material is a bit hard to follow.   Add more full examples or videos on using specific features in real work applications.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Timely communications between geographically dispersed workforce not in an office environment and ability for people to see where something is in a process.

  ### 18. Review for December 2021

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sonia R. | Information Management Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

Personal detail, professional and organised response.

I did not dislike anything. The service was good.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

None at this time

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Records management and workflow challenges. Benefits include ease of use and interoperability with other platforms like DocuSign.

  ### 19. Life Helper!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniel C. | Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Google Integration is key. It really helps to operate.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

I would like to have a "light" user to provide to all my clients without the cost of a "user license"

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Protocols, procesures, audit, and document control

  ### 20. Greatly automates permissions but makes it hard for humans to configure

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

AODocs automatically sets permissions for each file and folder so that all the users the admin intends to have access to them can access it, and those who should not have access to it do not. Even better: it doesn't allow users to add other users so whatever security policy the admin has in mind is always enforced.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

The UI is very cumbersome to use. For example, to move a file to a sub-folder you just created might take anywhere from 5 to 10 clicks. Often times, users mess up because of the unintuitive UI and cannot fix it because they don't have the permission, leaving the admin to do tons of clean up work.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main problem we're solving is implementing a security policy at the folder level so that each team or organization can access its docs but no one else. Being able to trust a computer/software to do this is much more reliable than requiring humans to implement the policy.

  ### 21. AoDocs Essilor

**Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2020

  ### 22. Easy to use and just works as expected.  We have used this for about 3 years

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Randy J. | IT Services Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

We use the team drive and retention features.  We have used it for about 3 years and it was been flawless.  No issues ever, just worked as expected.  As it just sits on Google Drive, no special user training is needed.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

I would like the ability to force a sync of groups when creating new team folders.  I have to wait for the sync now.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We completely removed the SAN from our network and moved all group shares to AODocs/Google Drive.  Cost savings of that move are huge.

  ### 23. AODOCS issue with corrupted links due to new AODOCS release, no solution found, high impact !

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

the possibility to add information about document uploaded

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

agility, too many clicks and corrupted links.
However the solution proposed is not enough.
Our Database which has links to AODOCs documents can not work properly  due to recent new AODOcs release. the Links have changed and we can not change thouthands of links in our tools
due to that issue the reliability of our tools as well as the validity are questionnable. we are not sure that links address can be impacted by another AODOCS release.
Our tool deals with pharmaceutical data, it can be challenged by Health Authorities with serious impact on our organisation.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

a place to share and manage documents

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

The ease of searching for documents within AODocs is excellent, as well as the ability to easily share documents amongst team members.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

One downside of AODocs is that you can't edit documents within the application, live documents, for example. However, I can live with this because editing is not necessarily the purpose that AODocs serves.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving document storage and content management problems with AODocs. It has been very beneficial in improving formality across are service lines in the business.

  ### 25. Simplifying the Workplace

At first it is a bit tedious to understand to use but once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze.

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Easy to implement, easy to use. Extremely scalable. Integration with Google platform is perfect for our organization. Responsive professional services and customer service.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Would like more on-line training and certification paths, especially on custom scripts.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Limited search capability, end-of-life UIs, expensive and inflexible storage, lack of integration with strategic IT platforms, no workflows, no ability to share content externally or internally without weeks of development, no document retention policies or archival processes.

  ### 27. AOdocs, great for your shift from paper to digital

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

I like the uniformity of AODocs and the easy searching and identifying capabilities.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

If I had to choose something that I disliked it would be the inability to change the color scheme per user preference.

We are using AODocs for document storage, organization, and protection.

  ### 29. Solid and Reliable Cloud-based Solution for Storing and Sharing Content Amongst Our Team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Seth W. | Inbound Sales Development Representative, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2021

  ### 30. Aodocs

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Production Changes are ease to implement and Workflows work great

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Connecting with other plataforms is a pain, as it does not provide any. You need to build your own connector if you want to export content into a DB for reporting, as an example.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are basically migrating from SharePoint into AOdocs. I don't see it as mature as SharePoint.

Implementation is quick  and you may have an stable app within a few steps.

  ### 31. Modification to an existing script

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan C. | Operational Excellence Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2019

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Ease of use, create your own doc class and workflows to meet specific needs.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

On some of the Administration interface screens such as the parameters of a document class where the number of document properties is more than the screen can display, the column headings are not locked at the top of the screen so when you scroll down, they are lost when needing to add new values at the bottom.  The same thing is true for creating new workflow states.  The create new workflow is not locked at the top of the screen so when you scroll down, the name (title) of the workflow and "Visualize" disappear as if it is part of the workflow scrolling.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

If you are looking to streamline your processes, AODocs is the application to use.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the ability to create your own document classes and workflows, AODocs can be your one-stop-shop location for many different processes.

  ### 32. It seems a bit limited to me.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan Pablo F. | Software Engginier, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2021

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

it is very limited, they must be dynamic for authorization flows

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were looking to resolve or implement the invoice authorization flow

**Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

It is compatible content management tool that is valuable in our organization. Now I shut down outdated legacy systems like SharePoint, Lotus Notes, and OpenText for good. This application is the most trust worthy tool, I feel confident about it because it has charged me to centralizing my data now I discard the files and whenever required I can give access to my team members too. There is a great diversity of features in this efficient platform.

It is one of the best characteristics of this tool that it has erode our worries because it has provided us a safe and secure platform where we can manage our all contents effectively.

AODocs is very easy configure and customize. It is integrated with some any tools like, sales force which help me to manage my sales related data and its is integrated with AwesomeTable, Docu Sign which provides me clears analytics about my data, Also I am taking much help from its integration with PSIGEN, which has enabled me to turn my scanned data into organized data for future business planning.

**Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

AODocs has opened for me new ways to manage my folders and files. I have got rid of old methodologies  for the sharing of files and to maintain the data was also very tough for me previously, because it was consuming  my time and energy to find the right file in very short span of time. But AODocs has equipped me with better ideas now I can shift my data easily on various clouds and I am not at all worried about the security of my content and files.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

I wish it could be integrated with some emails automation tool as well, so that we could get one window solution, in term of organizing the data at one platform and also sharing the data with our important customers. Further its pricing policy needs to be negotiated, it is costly for the small set ups.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

It is a great tool for handling the complex business processes and it provides the full control over all of your data. Also it will provide you numerous solutions to your every day challenges, I will like to recommend it to large business set ups for small it is not a good solutions.

It has helped me to mange my key processes, now I can better tackle the ERP, PLM and easily manage my customer relations, because I am always equipped with the right information.

  ### 35. An affordable, easy-to-implement tool for Google Drive users

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicki L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

It's very easy to implement and customize for basic metadata management needs. I love how AODocs enables use of Awesome Tables to provide easy search, results display, and access.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

It is challenging to manage and time-consuming to make global edits in large libraries (e.g., thousands of files). I'd love to see more powerful global edit features.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Give it a try, especially if you are on the fence about investing in an expensive document management systems. This just might tick all the boxes.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We moved to Google Drive from SharePoint, where we were managing thousands of files with metadata. AODocs enabled us to preserve those valuable metadata in our new file management environment.

  ### 36. Very handy and continiously improving e-workflow tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vladislav S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Very flexible customization of documents, for any purpose (e.g. it is a storage for the production budgets, for procedures and so on - all these documents require some specific treatment).
Then, the workflow flexibility (i meant access rights on each step can be set up separately, as well as email notifications).
Also I like updates that bring new features that might improve work of me and my colleagues.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

The last thing I disliked had disappeared with one of the updates. It was absence of linking the workflow with some fields in the metadata (now this feature is presented).

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Just do not be afraid with large amount of settings - everything is done to make your work easy and to setup everything to fit your needs. I agree - this might take some time, but when you become familiar  with this tool - it becomes an additiona pair of hands for you.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making documents that require a chain of approvals/validations.
For benefits - completely digital process of such activity.
In my company AoDocs is also used as an "idea collecting" tool - to implement new ideas helping to improve our everyday working life.
One of our departments use it as a shared storage for some important documents that may be accessed bys several people.
As for me, I'm planning to make a digital tool for vacations' applications (to completely get rid of paper ones).

  ### 37. AODOCS gets the job done!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brandon G. | Project Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

I love the workflows and automation that there is. It is simple to use and easy to figure out if you don't know how to use it. I have mostly taught myself everything just by fiddling around in the AODOCS and figuring it out. It has lots of different nice features.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

I dislike how many different drawbacks or things you can't do with AODOCS. For instance, You can't use a DMS in google drive. We were also promised a lot of features before we bought it that turned out not to be true. The implementation and setup are tedious and confusing. It makes it difficult to import everything over to google drive and AODOCS because you have to be the owner of the document in order to move it, perhaps they can change that.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

If you are looking for greater control over your documents or looking to establish a DMS AODOCS serves that purpose. Be sure to research thoroughly what is actually does and doesn't do before you get and realize it doesn't exactly work the way you need it to.  Ask specific questions as everyone's use case is very different for each company.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have created document approval workflows for my technical documents. The process is automated, which is nice. AODOCS is also a central location that we can store all our documents which has created better document control. Another benefit of AODOCS is that when an employee quits we don't lose all of his shared google documents because the documents are not owned by him but by the storage account. Most of the problems that I have with AODOCS is that most people don't like new things and have shied away from implementing it and using it to its full capabilities.

  ### 38. AOdocs was the perfect solution for our company

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Neil M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

The fact that we feel like we "own" the product. At anytime we can make changes that we need. Our organization uses Google G Suite Enterprise we have unlimited storage. This makes AOdocs the perfect component to be used with our system. All this makes the scalability of AOdocs great.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Sometimes it takes longer than I would like for the uploading process to finish. I don't think this is due to our upload bandwidth but sometimes it does seem to take a minute, especially when uploading multiple documents at once.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Make sure you have plenty of end-users who are in management that are willing to take on this product and push it to their rest of the end users.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The enormous costs of our previous document archiving platform and the time and resources required to make changes to it. We've saved a lot of time and frustrations with AOdocs

  ### 39. Useful document storage for business purpose.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

4. Documents version storage with history
5.  Revision approvals and comments history
6. Possibility of uploading and creating directly in AODocs - both options possible

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Very important in my daily experience:
1. During last AODocs actualization disappeared option of few documents uploading one time.
    Before I could upload many documents one time, and with "Metadata copy" app I could manage same metadata for all of them and then easy pass for approval.
Now I need to do it one doc each time. It takes much more time.

2. When I want to search documents waiting for approval of one person from few people, it is giving me results of all documents waiting for approval, even if this person approved, but the other one did not.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Useful, easy to use.
1. intuitive operation. function buttons are easy to understand. easy to operate without manual. 
2. access management (editors, common users, etc.)
3. Document approval and verification history for documents
4. Documents version storage with history
5.  Revision approvals and comments history

  ### 40. The best data MANAGEMENT/ TEAM DATA SAFETY TOOL for Google Drive/ Cloud

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ashish G. | Group CFO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

The best about AO docs is through this you can control the data of your whole company without any hassles. No Need of installing big servers, appointing technical team and relatively other IT costly hassles.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

You cannot move and delete all files together. To move a particular file you have to follow a lengthy process to select individual files and move it one by one.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Centrally control the data of all different locations. No fear of data loss as it does not allow the user to delete anything and keeps a version accordingly. One the data is saved then it is 100% secure from all if and but.'We have saved thousands of amount in terms of money by removing the IT team, Servers and Specific Data Audit Cost after installing AO Docs with Google Drive and made it mandatory for our organisation.

  ### 41. Good idea... with many shortfalls

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2018

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

AO docs allow you to easily maintain a "workplace-wide" database/file explorer that is easily accessible through your Google Drive account. In our case, it is campus-wide and allows everyone on campus to easily maintain access to their documents and projects from anywhere; while allowing for appropriate user permissions. The best part for me is its synchronicity to my "Finder" on my Mac so I can access my Google Drive files like you access any other file from the computer.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

It does not allow you to have a working document without "pulling it down" from the cloud and "saving and uploading" the newer version. So if you don't save it properly, or if someone else is accessing the document at the same time, they will not see your changes, or even be made aware that there may be another version currently being checked out in another location.

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Great if your organization can still come up with business standards as to how to properly maintain "master-files" and notifying others when checking out files (much like checking out different branches in software design)

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There is now a streamlined way to access company-wide files, from anywhere, at any time. The best part about the availability of the app is that there is no need to download additional software onto your computer. It's a simple browser-app that becomes available in your Google Drive toolbelt as soon as the download is complete.

**Official Response from Bonnie Scott Bailly:**

> Admin, thanks for highlighting that AODocs gives you a sure-fire way to back up all of your files. We’d like to better understand your concerns around working documents - something seems off. Can you email Support@AODocs.com with additional detail so we can better assist?

  ### 42. AoDocs recommended

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

For communication: ordered and controlled way of information flow. In the terms of document management one can get only approved and last version of documents - that makes no confusion about what is valid. Such a powerful & helpful tool. Plus connection to Google drive brilliant.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Not dislike but missing - lack of confirmation if approved &sent  document has been read by addresser. Plus editing of picutres or drawings could be improved ( I wouldn't mind if you restore editings solutions from old version of Word )

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

it is really easy but be focused during training.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Mostly procedures, instruction - ISO documents- distribution & validation. plus documents archiving. Less time for docs searching :-)

  ### 43. AODOCS experience

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Filbert H. | Compliance Systems Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

- automated tool with all data traced
- metadata capability
- flexibility to customise stages of review, consultation & approval
- flexibility to integrate with Google Suite
- flexibility to use any document format

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

- Need Management team that is apt with technologies
- Requires significant time to configure as a trade off for the flexibility
- New innovation - lack of "expert user" (not technical support user) to assist

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

If you have Management Team & users that are apt using technology, this is a good automation tool. It will take significant amount of time to be familiar & configure the database to what is required, however the system do works.

Presentation wise needs improving, however the functionality is robust. Search capability for contents & metadata are good.

Lack of integration capabilities such as the one offered by Zapier.

  ### 47. A useful and clear DMS, some improvements could be its business boost

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

Easy of access, clear library programming. Fully integrated with Google platforms and its Apps, but even good for MS and others. WEB based and cloud. Custom user profiles creation by yourself if when needed.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

As a DMS it could be programmed to interact more with Google Apps. 
The "Governo" (workflow, users and steps) could be created apart from the doc, so you can just select the Governo you need to apply to a doc just before start the workflow, without programming each time similar docs with the same Governo.
Revision history should be improved for workflow management: clear info about who is missing to sign? who forgo to sign and the doc is now past-due?

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We managed the docs in the company. We store in a safe, clear and controlled way any official info/docs to share with all the employees. Important the management and setup of accountability for approval and verification, which tracked into AODocs.

  ### 48. Powerful, but frustrating

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2020

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

AODocs does a great job restricting permissions for various documents and folders.  It easily increases security of documents stored in Google Drive and ensures that even if users delete documents, they're still available to the organization.

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

Some of frustrations we have with AODocs surround the challenges with having different document permissions within a library.  Ideally, a folder could have one set of permissions, however certain other docs within could be further restricted.  The way it seems to work is that you can loosen restrictions the deeper down you go, but you cannot tighten the permissions.  It's a bit counter-intuitive

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Be sure you know what you'd like to do, set up the libraries vs team folders and fully understand the capabilities and restrictions of each.  Making a change in the future is challenging.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OADocs addressed the relatively lax security Google Drive has and the manner in which you could accidentally delete or release data to unauthorized parties.  OADocs made it so we could be re-assured that the data was properly restricted.

  ### 49. Great platform to meet a variety of needs

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arlette S. | Application Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2019

**What do you like best about AODocs?**

On top of its core features, it has a rich API and an internal scripting model that integrates very well with Google.  I am able to use it as the same platform to meet the needs of all departments, from simple workflows to complex business processes..  I am able to leverage work from one department to extend the platform for everyone. 
Core users are also able to share in the administration of the platform and make changes without always having to rely on IT

**What do you dislike about AODocs?**

The UI is sometimes hard for the more complex process, but with each release, the feature set is growing rapidly..  

**Recommendations to others considering AODocs:**

Consider the benefit of customizing a solution to meet your exact needs, as opposed to fitting into canned products preset design.

**What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Management of injury and illness that are reported on the campus, grants document management and the grants lifecycle, review of new policy for the college, management of dual credit approval process.  We expect to be doing much more in the coming year - HR approvals, other administrative approvals, faculty leave.
