Docmosis Reviews & Product Details

My company was looking for a self-hosted document generation products that would work well in our AWS landing zone and integrate with our 3rd party systems. Docmosis Tornado has proven fast, reliability, and ability to handle complex formatting and high-volume document creation. A key benefit is its flexibility, as it can be deployed on Windows, Linux, and via Docker. The vendor provides a Docker image to simplify the setup process, bundling necessary dependencies like Java and LibreOffice, which users find to be a straightforward way to get up and running quickly for testing or deployment. While there is some learning curve for advanced features, I find this product is generally a strong choice for businesses like ours that prefer to keep document generation on their own infrastructure and integrate it with their custom applications via a REST API.

The PDF templates using LibreOffice document templates can bring some limitations of normal Word applications compared to other templates like Crystal Reports, Quest, etc. However, the change in template formats is easily adaptable so not something that would hold me back from recommending the product.

Ability to create professional document templates using Word (or Open Office) to then automate the document generation utilising data contained in our SaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot to dislike if anything. If we've had any issues, the Docmosis Support team has always quickly helped us out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Docmosis and the reason why it should be the go to choice for document template generation is the simplicity on constructing the templates. There is no need for IT competence, it can be done by any reasonably savvy regular user. You just do it in Word, no weird custom UI you need to get your head around. And, all the formatting from Word is just there in the document generated. IT is only needed to set up the interface between your system and docmosis. Ideally that is a one time job.

The tricky part is knowing your own system well enough to know what to put where in the template, the "coding" in Docmosis is the easy part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity is not always (only) a good thing. Docmosis is super simple to manage, but is does lack some complexity on the storage of and access to the templates.

There is a single log in to each Docmosis account, preventing you from distributing more complex privileges. There is also no version handling, in Docmosis there is only one version of each template. The live version. We do have a free development account where we can store new versions, but it is not really the same thing. So - version handling and access privileges must be handled outside of Docmosis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Docmosis is that it is easy to learn and use. We have a tiny developer group (5), and everyone uses the platform almost without training.

The very few times we had issues with the platform were resolved very quickly by the support team, which we appreciate. My company is an outsourcing and staffing company, so you must have the documentation in order, for your customers and personnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a lot of customers with different requirements about documents. Some are difficult to render using the platform, but anyway, you can do that somehow and with the support of the Docmosis staff. All the documentation we need to provide to our personnel, and customers is generated using Docmosis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docmosis allowed us to easily add PDF and Word Doc generation to our platform with a couple of clicks. Instead of relying on a vendor that would have a bigger lift, we chose Docmosis for its simplicity. Originally, I was worried about uptime, but I am happy to report that in the months of using them, this has not been an issue! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about! We are super happy with our decision to move over to Docmosis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has enabled us to transfer the support of documents in many cases out of IT's hands and into the business' hands for minor changes to the text of the document. It uses Libre Ofice which technically does not require any licensing costs. They have a container image for it. The licensing costs are very reasonable and enable us to produce a high number of documents on our own internal servers. It has also enabled us to move document generation away from user PC's and to centralized servers, where it can be more easily managed and upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that we have to build the initial docker image. It takes about 20 minutes after upgrades to compile it. Maybe it has to do with licensing some of the installed components, etc. We successfully added fonts and some other items to the image that were required for some of our documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed, easy of use, and implementation with Bubble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see any downsides at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's API is easy to use, and documents are generated fast. Templates, as with any of this service, can get tricky and hard to manage, but Docmosis provides some help listing the generation error.

I like the rendering UX; It's fast to iterate and debug templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes formatting tables can become a trial-and-error effort. Same thing with image placement when you need pixel-perfect positioning.

But, that's a problem with other vendors too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At last, software development no longer has to worry about creating the templates.

Changes in design and layout can be made without the help of the programming department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating templates in Libre Office or Word can be very complicated and sometimes has strange side effects. It works better with Indesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docmosis is exteremely modular and easier to design and develop. Most of our outputs have lot of common elements which docmosis allowed us to create once and reuse it in multiple instances.

Also it is easier to learn and adapt, we saw considerable increase in productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The installation can be more userfriendly and they should explore cloud and subscription options. I am not sure whether they are already there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
