Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/26/2017 "Enterprise-level software: Great for managing company documents" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Hyland Alfresco? Alfresco organizes your documents in a systematic way. It also allows you to keep track of all documents' versions and know the movement of documents. As long as you have internet access, you can access documents saved in your Alfresco system. You can also collaborate on them remotely. Since its also based on Open Source, you can easily integrate Alfresco with other systems and extend its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Hyland Alfresco? Interface could be more user friendly. They've already revamped it some months or almost a year back, but the interface can still feel a bit intimidating. Perhaps they could also improve the collaboration functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Hyland Alfresco: There are plenty of enterprise content management systems out there, but if you want to take advantage brought through using Open Source technology, then Alfresco is for you. Since Alfresco is designed with enterprise processes in mind, expect that its capabilities will also be for enterprise level. Its a very big step up from Google Drive 's content management capabilities so you should adopt Alfresco with the knowledge that it may change your document management processes if that's where you're moving from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Hyland Alfresco solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a way to store our documents that allowed us to access it from anywhere since we had operations across the country and internationally. We needed to be able to see and recover past versions if needed. While it lacks the easy collaborative tools that other content management systems have, we still use Alfresco as our final document storage system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
