What do you like best about Synergis Adept?

Customer Service and the Synergis Team is always available to help regardless of how big or small the issue might be. For me this has included going back to developers for resolutions on key processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synergis Adept?

There have been known issues that don't get resolved in the next version release. Also, Feature Requests. It never feels like any of them get implemented. I know I cannot be the only one having the specific issue or need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Martha K. Lubow of Synergis Adept

It's wonderful to hear about your excellent experiences with Adept and our outstanding customer service team. Our helpdesk’s readiness to tackle any issue, big or small and their willingness to involve developers for complex problems really highlights their dedication to support and effective problem-solving.

The transformation you've described in your Engineering department, moving from paper to almost all electronic processes with Adept, is precisely the kind of progress we strive to facilitate. The transition to multi-step electronic workflows and the ability to efficiently manage documents and metadata marks a significant step into the future of document handling. It's inspiring to hear how Adept has been instrumental in this shift, enhancing the efficiency and organization of your operations.

Your comments about unresolved issues and the perception that feature requests aren't always implemented are areas where we can definitely improve. Thanks for the reminder.

We're genuinely grateful for your loyalty and advocacy. Your constructive comments not only motivate us but are crucial in sculpting Adept's ongoing development. As we continue to grow and adapt, it's customers like you who illuminate the path forward. You are truly a hero on this journey together.

Their attention to customers needs is their strongest point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say that the biggest flaw would be the Viewer. From what I've learned I think they will be releasing a new viewer within the next 12 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adept Experience - Review of Adept"
4/5
What do you like best about Synergis Adept?

The Adept program is very customizable. The help desk has always been a tremendous resource. The Administrator training goes into so much detail and told me about features I wasn't even aware of.

I really like the audit trail and revision history kept in Adept and ease of access to previous revisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synergis Adept?

Adept designer can be clunky- I would like to see options for lining up boxes and text.

How slow the Viewer takes to open. In an emergency our field users are using precious time waiting for files to open.

Too many options for occasional users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Martha K. Lubow of Synergis Adept

Thank you for your review of Synergis Adept and for sharing your experiences with its customization capabilities and the support resources. It's wonderful to hear that the help desk has been a significant aid for you and that the detailed administrator training opened your eyes to new features.

It’s great to hear that Adept's audit trail, revision history, and the ease of accessing previous revisions helps your productivity. These features are crucial for maintaining transparency and control over document versions, which is a key aspect of effective document management.

I hear your concerns about the Adept designer's “clunkiness” and the desire for better tools for creating boxes and text. Also, the slow opening of the Viewer, particularly in urgent situations, is something we are working on. We know how important speed and efficiency is, especially when quick access is required in the field.

Your mention of too many options for occasional users is an important point. Striking the right balance between functionality and user-friendliness is always tricky with software, especially for those who don’t use the system daily.

The benefits you’ve outlined, like offline viewing and markups of drawings, and the potential for streamlining your SharePoint collaboration process, are exactly the kind of practical advantages we seek to provide. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback as it opens up avenues for us to enhance the user experience and the software’s performance.

What do you like best about Synergis Adept?

I like the simplicity of how we were able to incorporate our file structure and documents into Adept. It is quick and easy, and you are up and running and you have secured your files.

Also. my experience has been great with the Synergis staff. They are always positive and have a good sense of humor, which I appreciate in today's world and today's climate. We're probably like many companies are -- under pressure to produce product and stay in compliance. I really enjoy talking to some of you guys, I feel like there's a friendship, and very helpful. That goes a long way.

The other big win for us is Adept’s flexibility. The company never had a document control system, so I was looking for a system that could be flexible. Something that can meet us where we are, but also take us to another level of document control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synergis Adept?

Well, the main thing for me is the viewer. It’s not terrible but It's a little challenging for the many of our users but with that being said we're looking forward to the new viewer and like what I've seen so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Martha K. Lubow of Synergis Adept

Thank you, Hayden, for sharing your experiences with Synergis Adept, and for the kind words about our staff. It's heartening to hear that the simplicity of integrating your file structure and documents into Adept was a smooth process for you, and that our team's positive attitude and sense of humor have added to your experience. Building a sense of friendship and support is something we truly value, especially in high-pressure environments like yours.

It's great to know that Adept's flexibility has been a significant win for your company, especially as you were seeking a document control system that could adapt to your current needs while also improving your document management practices.

Regarding the viewer, I appreciate your honesty in pointing out its challenges. Hopefully, now with the new viewer release, most of your issues are over.

The goal of bringing everyone to a single source for documents is a fundamental part of effective document management. Your efforts in steering your team towards this, and building trust in the system, are commendable. We acknowledge the challenges in changing old habits and are here to support you in fully integrating Adept into your workflows.

I'm curious about the two-star rating, considering the positive aspects you've mentioned. Understanding any underlying concerns or unmet expectations that might have influenced this rating is important to us. We aim to not just meet but exceed your expectations, and grasping the full scope of your experience helps us in this pursuit.

Thank you once again for your thoughtful review. Your insights not only help us in refining our product but also in understanding and appreciating the user journey. We're here to assist you in any way we can as you continue to harness the full potential of Adept.

What do you dislike about Synergis Adept?

* named workflows instead of role based workflows

* No branched workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Martha K. Lubow of Synergis Adept

It's fantastic to hear that you find immense value in Synergis Adept, particularly in its document management and storage capabilities, customization options, and the effectiveness of PublishWave in generating PDFs. Knowing that you find the front-end UI intuitive and the customer support and training materials excellent is incredibly encouraging. It sounds like these features are making a significant positive impact on your workflow.

Your feedback on areas for potential improvement is equally valuable. Your observation about the project number being treated merely as metadata rather than an identifier for a bunch of metadata is intriguing. It opens up a conversation about how we might enhance the functionality and user experience in this regard. I'm curious to learn more about how this change could benefit your workflow.

Additionally, your point about having named workflows instead of role-based workflows, and the absence of branched workflows, is insightful. These are interesting ideas that could potentially add more flexibility and efficiency to the workflow management within Adept. We're always looking for ways to grow and improve, so I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on how role-based and branched workflows could further enhance your experience with Adept.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. It’s clear that while Adept is adding significant value to your work, there are areas where we can explore further enhancements. Your insights are invaluable in guiding our ongoing efforts to develop and refine Adept.
