### "Automatically create tags for your files."

August 12, 2022

4.0

It has made easy to access my Bookmarks and Emails on any browser. It also deletes any sensitive information from my credit cards, emails and social security numbers.

Pros

It does not alter, create hidden or duplicate files on my hard drive. It does delete files that have been renamed because all tags are fully embedded in my documents. I can search everything I want, from comments to file name as well as file content.

Cons

I can't set rules beyond names and disk location. Other than that I highly recommend it.

December 4, 2024

It is really great for organisation. I have too long paths otherwise in the windows-file-explorer. Because of this, I love to use it.

Pros

A really great programm. My paths were in the windows-file-explorer too long :- ).

Cons

This is a really good question. At the moment I have no answer.

### "It is an innovative idea"

May 15, 2018

3.0

Em offers to be able to schedule with few clicks, activities and tasks included in work or personal documents. My big problem with this software is the economic offer, which is very high, and the visual, it can improve, it is still a good idea.

Pros

The conception to organize files and tasks seems great, in the market many seek to optimize clicks, I think they hit the nail on the head with this project.

Cons

I saw several things that can improve, 1- The price: it is very high for the interface they offer. 2- The interface: in these moments, the competition forces to that the proposals are very attractive reason why the graphical presentation is not very pleasant for all its users.

### "Excellent software"

July 16, 2021

5.0

I love Tabbles and I think that everyone should use it. It's excellent for better productivity. For now, this is far the BEST software!

Pros

It's very easy to tag and find files of a specific project (that was tagged). Excellent that we can use windows explorer to tag files. It's quite quick.

Cons

The UI could be better, so we can choose tags without the need to do Alt+C. I could be excellent to have a good search capability, even search text inside files and even reminders. That way we could use Tabbles only, instead of the so bad and useless windows explorer. It could be nice to have one document software for all. It could be beautiful to have an option to connect to our desktop from an Andriod phone and find tagged files that we need. The least thing that I like is the lack of a backup solution. I needed to create a script to backup the database and I think that this is a basic thing that need to be implemented. Other thing is that there is no office integration, so, after creating a file, you need to find it in Windows explorer and then tag it.

### "My best experience with Tabbles."

April 7, 2018

4.0

Tabbles is very easy to use software, and with very good functions, therefore, it has helped me to complement the organization of several sectors within my current company.

Pros

What I like most about Tabbles is that it is very easy to organize files and documents, it is very easy to organize any type of ideas with this platform, without having any type of interruptions.

Cons

I do not like at all the prices that Tabbles uses, I consider that this is a software that has very good functions to offer to the clients and in this way, they should urgently lower the prices and rates.

### "Easy to manage files and folders"

October 31, 2018

4.0

Simple and easy to use

Pros

We are using Tabbles about a year. It helps to organise the files and folder easily and handle large amount of files without any interruptions. Simple user interface helps to navigate in the console. Tagging a file made easy on auto-tagging feature. we can get immdiate response on the forum. Free edition available for the personal use.

Cons

We don't face any issues but the pricing point of view, it's only available on yearly subscribtion rather than monthly.

### "Powerful with a beautiful simplicity of function"

January 16, 2018

4.0

A totally new and better way to organize your files and folders! Leave the old dusty conventions behind and grasp the future!

Pros

I love how its made my project and document organization so much better. For me the keystone feature is the Tagging ability. Thank you!

Cons

I like many others I eagerly await a web and hopefully a mobile version. I travel with my cell all the time and I can't always pull out my tablet or laptop and need to be able to work off my phone.

### "Very useful tool to manage file tags"

December 9, 2017

5.0

Pros

Great OS integration, I can find needed files in a moment without wasting my time digging thru dozens of drives and directories

Cons

Pretty good for me, but there is no MacOS or Linux version, so I cannot recommend it to non-Windows users.

Pros

The Autotagging feature takes out the tandem for manging swarm of emails in outlook. Good tool to manage emails

### "Manage your files and folders, and organize them without having to move them to different locations."

March 12, 2018

4.0

Tabbles is a lightweight and easy-to-use software that provides an innovative way to organize, manage, and quickly find your files and folders on the drive. It enables users to assign customizable tags to any file or folder on the drives, local network, or Cloud storage space. This helps organize them into categories, without having to copy them to multiple locations. It is easy to use for all types of users, the only difficulty possible is the set-up of SQL Server for Tabbles on LAN.

Pros

The UI is clean and looks like the Windows File Explorer, and gives you a clear overview of your drives and let's you browse through directories. Create your own new tags, with your preferred color and name. Tags can be dates, events, locations, names, or even projects. A single file can be assigned multiple tags too, for example a file can have a date tag along with event or project tag. You can access the files using both the tags or anyone of the two tags. Auto-tagging feature allows you to create a specific set of rules and conditions. Every file/folder that meets and satisfy those rules and conditions, is auto-tagged with that specific tag. But to make sure that auto-tagging is not tagging wrong files, it shows you a notification when it detects a file/folder to tag, and you can choose whether to add it or ignore it. Files can be tagged even without opening the tabbles window, thanks to the context-menu integration. You can right-click on the files and choose to tag them, or you can also locate them in the tabbles in order to find out what tags the files are tagged with. While viewing files in Windows Explorer, the tagged files can be easily found as they have a colored bubble icon. Even when you move files around different drive locations, you won't ever lose their tags. The application auto-updates its database after you move the files around.

Cons

The UI is very clean and easy-to-use, one thing I felt missing in it was the collapsed view of the folders in the Tab browser. This is important so that all directories can be viewed easily in the browser with their folders and subfolders.

### "Good customer support"

October 16, 2023

4.0

Pros

The Tabbles team is very response if you have a problem. I emailed them and had a copetent email conversation going within a few hours and the problem was solved within one day. These days, having a reply from a competent person has become very rare and is a big plus for me.Other than that, it is the only good tagging software I found which works with internet explorer and allows a hybrid approach. Most other tagging softwares make the tags only visible in their own file and tag browsers and you need to say goodby to the internet explorer if you would like to use their tags

Cons

Further develpment of the auto-tagging features would be good

November 6, 2018

5.0

The implementation of this application on our network, has been an innovative and productive experience.

Pros

It's one of the most innovative applications I've used so far on my networking environment. The ability to tag folders and files across my workstations and server is vital for our bussiness. Merging all these features with the cloud storage support make it great for data handling and migration.

Cons

At the moment i haven't had any issues whatsoever.

### "Fantastic for locating files quickly."

October 5, 2018

5.0

On a multi-floor construction project files and plans can be scattered throughout many different areas and systems or networks. From submittals to construction drawings for blue beam, tagging my files makes finding them super easy and with nested tagging I can further breakdown these project into smaller pieces by specific floor and system.

Pros

The title says it all, with Tabbles the ability to find a needed file is no longer any problem. Tagging files is very simple and once done the files show up under your tag no matter where they reside on your system or network.

Cons

A slight learning curve but that comes with all new software but there are plenty of online videos and a help file.

### "Tabbles as document organiser and knowledege database"

October 11, 2018

4.0

Document and knowledge management

Pros

The ease of creating and updating tabbles

Cons

the fact that it is not possible to extract a list of the tabbles and details about that, to perform statistics and content analysis. A knowledge graph function like in Mohio Map (unfortunately no more available) would be a real plus.

### "I helped me to organize computational documents which I constantly share with my research group"

June 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

Working on computational modelling provides an incredible large amount of archives which then becomes difficult to organize in an understandable way for the rest of the research team, this software helped me with this.

Cons

While the interface is very easy to access by the users, I consider the design is not so innovative as what the program has to offer and maybe this fact is what makes you think that the price is not worthy

### "Invaluable for large photo archives"

October 7, 2018

5.0

When finding photos for significant family events (e.g., graduations), it has made going through large archival collections much faster/more efficient. I can identify relevant photos with just a few keystrokes!

Pros

The ability to tag my photographs with any number of tags and then, when searching for photos, to filter my results with multiple intersecting tags has changed everything.

Cons

Whether through my own ignorance of the software or unidentified errors, I have lost large databases of tags in the past, which has necessitated re-tagging large collections.

Michele did never purchase or use Tabbles, she downloaded a time-limited freebie, which she tried to activate after the end of the offer. We extended the activation for an extra day FOR HER ONLY, which she missed again, and not being satisfied with our support she went on a review frenzy, doing her best to throw mud on our product and organization on several review websites.
