## Docupace Reviews
  ### 1. Recruiter

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hazel F. | Sr Canada Recruiter , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2024

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

Docupace is a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, streamlining workflows and enhancing document management with secure, cloud-based technology.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

Docupace's platform can sometimes be complex and challenging to navigate for new users, requiring a steep learning curve.

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

good to go

  ### 2. I have worked with Docupace for over 10 years

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jolene H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2023

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

Upsides of Docupace are that they are continuously evolving and adding more to their platform.  It is really neat to see the emails coming through see what they are offering.  I feel that Docupace does care and are responsive to issues presented.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

I feel that the closeness of relationships has been lost a little.  With the site that I work with we have become out dated and it over a year now that we are working on a game plan to be able to experience all that Docupace has to offer.  It has been frustrating with support and the staff having the knowledge to support our customized site.

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

For the last year we have been working with Docupace to understand what it would take to get on the standard site so that we can utilize many of the new tools that are available.  This is a huge undertaking and this should benefit us by making administration of the site easier.  Although we don't know everything that we are missing, we are hoping that we can have better reporting and better overall support from Docupace.

  ### 3. Docupace is the worst technology out of our whole tech stack

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2023

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

That it always works.  I have nothing else to say

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

Where do I begin? THe interface is old, clunky and non-intuitive.  I had been promised multiple times That the interface would be changed.  In 10 years it never was.  Whenever we needed tech support, which admittedly was not that frequent, it was very difficult to get to. It was very hard to move data from Docupace to our CRM. And the indexing process, frankly, sucked. In addition you guys didn't bill me for 19 months and now you want all the money. To say that I'm not happy, is an understatement. I was leaving anyways, but now I'm leaving a very unhappy and vocal former customer.  There's more, but you get my point.

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

None right now

  ### 4. Not perfect, but does the job

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scot W. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2023

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

It's clearly designed with financial advisors in mind. It allows you to assign one file to my multiple clients, which is great for planning, since often times we search by a client or spouse name.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

It's not designed for solo reps. For example, every time I create a new client, I have to select my self as "rep", even though I'm literally the only rep in the firm.

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

It allows us to securely store our client files digitally. It reduces paper.

  ### 5. Simplifying the vast need for paperwork in our industry

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicholas P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2023

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

The most helpful part has been a support rep's immediate support and dedication to our Docupace. Their attentiveness and care for our systems is amazing

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

The UI can be difficult to navigate at times. Having multiple different areas to manage things like reps, codes, etc seems unnecessary

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

The rollout of the new support portal has been massively beneficial in turnaround time on support needs.

  ### 6. Docupace is more than a vendor; they are a partner

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julianne S. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2023

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

Flexible platform and experienced staff to help our firm deliver a truly digital account opening experience.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

I feel like there could be a more intuitive UI or guided flow for the user to know exactly what they need to do to process through and transition work items

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

fully digital account opening and account servicing from start to finish

  ### 7. Working with a team that pushes the limits!

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2023

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

Collaboration with internal team members  and their willingness to always help.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

There are limitations to every product and sometimes pie in the sky is not always feasble.  A better understanding of the RIA space with the Transition organization would be beneficial.

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

The ability to support transitions and a vehicle to provide our clients with new account opening.

  ### 8. Document storage

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shawn C. | Financial Professional, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2023

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

It's a fairly straightforward way to store important documents.  The pricing is very reasonable.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

It can be a bit confusing, with a lot of fields that I'm not quite sure what to do with.  Billing can be hard to reach when there's an issue with bills or account information - better to email them than to call.

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

I'm supposed to have a secure method to store sensitive documents.

  ### 9. Smart and Innovative Solution

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2023

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

The project team at Docupace really understands our business. Thoughtful solutions are always provided and executed on.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

The production support team at Docupace could be more knowledgable about the solution that Docupace has put in place for us.

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

Docuapce is currently our digital solution for client onboarding providing electronic end to end processing.

  ### 10. Easy access to documents anywhere!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2023

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

It's great to be able to have access to files anywhere. No more leaving a file you need at the office! It's all available as long as you have an internet connection.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

The user interface isn't the prettiest. I would also like to have more availability to customize my own settings. As it sits right now, I have to contact Dicupace directly to add an option to a dropdown, which is really unfortunate.

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

Docupace allows us to have all of our files digital but also stored securely. Having access anywhere is great since we work remote and often travel.

  ### 11. Love this paperless storage system!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tiffany W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2023

I like the search ability of the program. I also like how easy it is to move things between folders should you need to rearrange where things are stored. Everything's is easy to update without ever losing anything.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

I wish there were more drag and drop capabilities.

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

Eliminating paper files!! And provides a much easier way to search files.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

it is great for keeping our office compliant.  Once you figure out the system, it is good to use.  i appreciate that it allows our office to be paper free.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

It is not very user friendly or intuitive.  I wish that the filing system was always most recent to oldest.  I hate having to scroll pages to get to something that I just uploaded.  I wish there was training - even vidoe training for best practices.

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

It allows our office to be completely paper free and access docs from anywhere.

The client tree structure, document storage

Figuring which Domain to go to make changes. it's not easy rembering where to go. There is no way connect which domain makes what changes. A quick global refence search will help, to point us in the right direction.

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

We have a New account and existing account  workflow process in place because of Docupace and it's benefitting our firm

  ### 25. Docupace

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2020

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

It is a helpful platform in regards to submitting new applications. It is nice that everything is legible, you can do e-sign, etc.

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

It takes time to learn the platform. But this is true with any new platform.

**Recommendations to others considering Docupace:**

It requires multiple steps to get what you need. I belive there may be other programs that are not as complex.

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

We are solving issues with customers not knowing which forms are needed with each application. Docupace elimintaes the guess work out of that by providing all the forms needed for the specific account they are looking to open.

  ### 26. DOCUPACE CONTINUES TO DELIVER QUALITY AND INNOVATION BUT IT'S COMPLEXITY IS A DEAL BREAKER FOR SOME!

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paula K. | REGIONAL COMPLIANCE MANAGER - INVESTMENT ADVISOR, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2019

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

Docupace offers fast and efficient straight through processing for Financial Services. Once one learns how to use the system it is quick and makes submitting account forms easy and almost error proof, which eliminates NIGOs. This means no going back to clients for missed signatures or data on applications. It also means that the reps get paid faster because it's all electronic, no paper. 

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

This is not an intuitive or user friendly program. It's extremely frustrating for reps to learn to use especially when there isn't adequate training. Adequate training can be subjective so more often than not, from what I've seen, adequate isn't close to being enough. And because it's not necessarily an intuitive system it's almost impossible to train yourself because you feel like a hamster on a wheel and wind up feeling frustrated and upset. 

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

Well Docupace has allowed the Broker Dealer to become almost completely paperless which makes it easier on every department as well at the field. Compliance books and records are all in Docupace which allow for easy retrieval and fast audits.

  ### 27. Could use some added features.  

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018

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

 All around it is a well rounded program and saves overuse of paper. Its simple interface is easy to use for new comers and has other more advanced features as well for our specialists to use as needed. 

**What do you dislike about Docupace?**

Docupace could use a few added features ( such as rotating documents to landscape for alternative viewing). There are occasionally glitches and sometimes screen freezing but it is rare. 

**Recommendations to others considering Docupace:**

Do it, but do it right.  Be prepared and know exactly what you need and how you need it to function so that you can be sure to get it custom tailored to suit your companies needs as efficently as possible. 

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

We use docupace mostly for processing financial applications, documents and for reviewing paperwork to assure all is correct.    Its very well rouded for these purposes.
