PRESIDENTE/A.D. Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/10/2013 "Positive experience with the community edition" 4/5 What do you like best about Hyland Alfresco? Last year I was searching for a open source documental software for our company. One of my co-workers suggested me to try Alfresco. I downloaded the installer and I installed it on a virtual server Microsoft. Easy setup and ready to use! Now we have upload thousand of files and now for search a word in PDF document or DOC we don't use nothing else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Hyland Alfresco? One of the problems that I have encountered is the search field, if you try to search more terms or a document in a specific folder the result is confused and some time you can't find what you search. I think that there is a solution for this but it could be a little tricky and I do not have find it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Records Analyst Government Administration 7/4/2013 "Reviewing the Records Management solution; built to standard; less so to business use." 3.5/5 What do you like best about Hyland Alfresco? Alfresco boasts that their product is built to the DOD 5015.2 standard, and for the most part it is. I tested ten key records management features and for complex and critical tasks such as declaring a record, maintaining an audit log, and implementing even a complex records schedule, it did very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Hyland Alfresco? Although this product delivers on all the features demanded of a records management product, it may not be intuitive for the business user. Alfresco Records Management is not integrated with other products such as Document Management and Team Collaboration. That means that the records repository will only have documents that are posted there by users. Working documents on other collaborative sites are not linked or deleted. Business area users would have to be disciplined in their work habits to prevent duplication and confusion. One feature failed on testing; the "move to" function. Check that this glitch is repaired before accepting the product. Alfresco appears robust enough to accept mass downloads of documents, but take care in mapping metadata fields so that as much as possible is auto-filled first. For detailed results from my ten days of testing, check out my blog, http://jgnatbuzz.blogspot.ca/2011\_02\_01\_archive.html. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Hyland Alfresco: Built on an open-source platform, this product may be suitable for educational institutions and non-profits.

Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/9/2013 "The open-source platform for document management" 4/5 What do you like best about Hyland Alfresco? I am just a user of Alfresco and I am not able to develop the code but I use it many times during my job. It's really very easy to upload files and to organize them in areas. I really appreciate its full-text search across document content and metadata and I find it really useful to search for example for a specific product code. It is also easy to create and assign workflow to collegues and share activities with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Hyland Alfresco? A simple user is not able to customize Alfresco on his own, and so it is not always a "free" tool because you need professional help to use it in a better way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Hyland Alfresco: just start using it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
