PaperSave Reviews
Pros
Overall it's a great product and the customer service is awesome.
I loved that the product synched with our accounting software so we did not have to manually attach invoices in the accounting software.
The best thing about PaperSave is that there are 3 Solutions rolled into 1, i.e.
Excellent Document Management with Workflow and Automation.
Cons
When a change is needed it is very hard and cumbersome to deal with. I think it could also be expanded to include more workflows than what is currently allowed.
The initial integration was problematic, we spend so much time on integration. Additionally it was hard to get used to with the features of the system at the start.
The software integration within our institution can get clunky at times. For example, sometimes I drop a file into the papersave folder and it doesn't show up when I open the software.
Its always bad to deal with a company without a building and people who answer their phones. One month after install the database gets "corrupted" according to them.

"Space saver"
Overall: Overall it's a great product and the customer service is awesome!
Pros: The ability to store any type of documents and the ease of creating a document type so that it's attached to the proper place on a record. Also being able to redact sensitive information within the software is an added bonus.
Cons: The limitations of licensing in the hosted version of PaperSave is the only feature that creates conflicts when more people need access than what we have licenses for.
"PaperSave helps us to manage our documents in an integrated way"
Overall: PaperSave provides us a turnkey and cost effective solution for document management which helps us to reduce our company document management costs dramatically.
Pros: PaperSave provides an end-to-end cloud solution for document management and reduces our recurring costs for document management.
Cons: The initial integration was problematic, we spend so much time on integration. Additionally it was hard to get used to with the features of the system at the start.
"PaperSave may be a good product but support is MISERABLE!"
Overall: We bought PaperSave to add onto our Blackbaud Raisers Edge. It feels like its a web based company with everyone working from home. Nobody ever answers their phone and take long to call you back. Its always bad to deal with a company without a building and people who answer their phones. One month after install the database gets "corrupted" according to them. They say its our version of SQL. But they knew what version we had when THEY installed it and never mentioned it. If it were up to me I'd never do business with companies like this.
"Papersave Pros and Cons"
Pros: We like the drag and drop of invoices into the workflow. It is easy to code and make changes to coding and drop into our GL system.
Cons: The administrative side regarding setting up the workflows is not easy to manage. When a change is needed it is very hard and cumbersome to deal with. I think it could also be expanded to include more workflows than what is currently allowed.

Vendor Response
"Great way to manage workflow "
Pros: I liked the fact that you could have many different users at many different levels with different levels of approvals. I loved that the product synched with our accounting software so we did not have to manually attach invoices in the accounting software. It is also great to search and run queries to see where an unpaid/unentered invoice is at any point in the process.
Cons: There is a lot of sorting up front. It would be great if the system was smart enough to scan the bills and sort them automatically based on different criteria that is located on the invoice.
"It's title says it all"
Overall: It was a slow adaptation, but overall it's been a positive change in our organization. We've drastically reduced the amount of paper and ink waste in our building. If that was the only thing gained, then I'll take it.
Pros: It simplifies the invoice process dramatically by making the internal process digital. For our finance team, it helps them be more efficient knowing that invoices are coming in with the proper information filled out.
Cons: The software integration within our institution can get clunky at times. For example, sometimes I drop a file into the papersave folder and it doesn't show up when I open the software. When I need additional approval on items, it'll only sometimes email my superiors that they have pending items in their box. These small examples slow down the process a bit and need to be worked out, but it might be something on our end.
"We have 4 locations and use PaperSave to facilitate remote invoice approvals between the directors."
Overall: A complete audit trail of approvals; better, clearer communication; much less paper to sort on my desk, as invoices are now either emailed to me or not crossing my desk at all.
Pros: Definitely the customer support. Their support engineers are wonderful! I also love that we can look at an invoice from anywhere, that site directors can leave comments and that there is a web view available. We can also add files to our journal entries and vendor records.
Cons: Sometimes it requires a lot of clicking! This is not a problem for me, but some of the staff members using PaperSave have trouble because of their low internet speed at their work site.. We had to get new scanners that were TWAIN compliant, which was an added expense.
"PaperSave is integral to our workflows!"
Pros: PaperSave is easy to use, integrates with Raiser's Edge easily, and makes it possible for our advancement team to see all donations and paperwork on their own.
Cons: I haven't run into many cons - whenever I've run into issues, their customer service always gets it solved quickly.
Vendor Response
"fPaperSav, has caused widespread discontent in our agency. "
Pros: Not much to like. Wish we had picked another program. Thought this would save both time and paper but has accomplished neither.
Cons: Overly complex. Ridiculous number of steps. Not intuitive. Staff needs lots of IT help. No one can learn it by rote.
"Excellent Document Management with Workflow and Automation"
Overall: The best thing about PaperSave is that there are 3 Solutions rolled into 1, i.e. Document Management + Electronic Workflow + Transaction Automation. Moreover, it is Integrated with Microsoft Dynamics GP, AX, SL, & CRM and Blackbaud's solutions like RE, FE, EE & CRM
"PaperSave"
Overall: PaperSave has made processing invoices much easier!
Pros: PaperSave is really easy to use. It has made processing invoices much easier for our program. I really like it.
Cons: It took us a while to start using the program. Sometime it takes a while for invoices to come through.
