## Reviews

### "Over all a good system.  Ability to customize is hands down.  Support team is EXCELLENT." — 4.0/5

> **Rebecca** | *28 March 2018* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The webtool is very easy to use, which is the part most of my team uses.  I love that I am able to customize the system to my company's needs, there are very few limitations to the customization.  I like the ability to get a spreadsheet report out of any folder and it includes the headers.
> 
> **Cons**: The bulk loading is great for first time in documentation, but if you have updated versions in bulk to existing documents - the bulk load feature is useless. I work in engineering and we typically receive documentation in bulk and several versions over the life of a project. If the bulk load feature would actually version the documents this would be life saving.
> 
> Having both a flat view with metadata and the actual file in one spot.

> 
> **Pros**: The indexing or searching for files is really nice and fast.
>

### "Document Locator has been one of the easiest and seamless Doc Mgmt systems I have worked with" — 5.0/5

> **Keith** | *29 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Flexibility.  Its easy to configure to suite almost any need we have.  And the way it seamlessly integrates with the Windows environment is outstanding for our users
> 
> **Cons**: I really see no weaknesses to speak of. Every scenario that I have thrown at it it has easily handled.  And the few items that I originally though of as downfalls where simply my lack of knowledge.
> 
> Versioning and the ability to publish external links usable from other applications

-----

### "DL software is very user friendly" — 4.0/5

> **Debbie** | *2 April 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to offer individuals the rights and permissions to do their job efficiently. The search capabilities are robust. I like to the flexibility that this product offers.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see more functionality added based on project management.  As a recent grad of CMII practices, I would like to see some functionality added to this product based on the principles established in Configuration Management.
