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. ----- ### "ColumbiaSoft1" — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *5 December 2018* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The indexing or searching for files is really nice and fast. > > **Cons**: Initial setup is a pain when creating workflows or repository setups and security. ----- ### "Managing docs integrated with MS Office" — 4.0/5 > **Hina** | *7 February 2017* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like working with it since it integrated with MS office. > > Its always easier when cloud technology help connecting your documents directly from your MS office tool. Document locator helps me integrating my documents form MS office and integrate it with Cloud to give additional functionality and security. It has good visual charts to see the statistics of data as well. ----- ### "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.
