President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Docuware works well for getting rid of a bunch of paperwork" September 21, 2026 4.0 It eliminates the physical mess of paperwork and the disaster of employees saving things to their own computers. Everything is located in one place. We use it to safely deliver files to clients rather than sending gigantic PDF's attached to an email. Pros Docuware has been working alright because it ate all our old paper clutter in the office. We can scan a huge pile of invoices and they just end up in the cloud where everyone can view them. Also the permission levels really do work so the interns don't have access to the payroll documents. Cons It takes way too many steps to simply transfer a document from one bin to another. Sometimes the web viewer is extremely slow when I am attempting to view a large PDF that I will eventually just give up and download the file anyway. Setting it up took me literally forever to figure out (I had the IT department help) as the menu system is absolutely convoluted. Also, when I enter incorrect keywords in the search box it returns zero results. It costs us an absolute fortune for it. I just want to get my coffee and leave.

Thanks to our digital inbox, we no longer have physical mail lying around the office or at home and can manage everything centrally online. The fast processing of incoming letters and the high quality of the scans are particularly helpful for us. This saves us time, allows us to work in a much more structured way, and gives us easy access to our documents at any time. Pros The central hub for all my documents. Whether received by mail and scanned by DocuWare, uploaded via email using the local scanner, or uploaded directly from my computer - DocuWare stores all documents long-term. A very intuitive web interface is a real highlight. DocuWare is a solution we should have used much sooner. Cons So far everything is going as expected, nothing to complain about. Rating: 5/5 Stars.
