Pros

I used this majority of my way in high school, college and now the post graduate work like. It’s so easy to navigate and I LOVE IT I share documents with my colleges ans co workers it’s amazing.
Super easy to use since it's just like Microsoft Office. Great if your device doesn't have Office and you need to use the same platforms.
I love how easy it is to use and how file sharing is super integrated. The quality for the cost of the product is super.

Pros

They have a great support team, and a great consulting team that really helped us move forward quickly with setting up the software so it would work best with our company model.
Customer service has always been excellent. It is one of the pieces of software that I have recommended to many other small business owners.
They were able to give me a lot of good tips and best practices in working with FileCenter. Lastly, you really need to check out FileCenter's video library.

Cons

Some options are missing from it, but that is to be expected from a web-based app. The only thing I dislike is how hard it is to open the documents generated in Google Docs through other software.
The downside of this is that someone can edit the document as you are presenting and mess with your presentation or confuse your line of thoughts.
The icons are small and it's easy to accidentally press the wrong button or hit the wrong combination of keystrokes and change the menu into tiny icons with no explanations.

Cons

Updates are because the software company has made a mistake in the programming of there product, why should I as a consumer pay for their mistake. Do car owners pay for manufactures recalls.
This company is terrible I can't get support for a product I purchased multiple copies of less than a year ago without spending 100's of dollars with them again.
I've made the mistake of going with a database drive system with my last software and had a hard time getting my data out of the system when I switched software.

FileCenter

Awesome Software - great replacement for Neat!

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall it has been very positive. When I have had issues, support has been quick to fix. They have been open and responsive to product suggestions, and I feel as a customer that they value and appreciate us.

Pros

I ended up switching to FileCenter from Neat Software as Neat was getting too expensive and I found it very slow to log receipts/etc. I like that File Center keeps the files and receipts on your computer (easy to sync between different devices using Google Drive or other Cloud Services). You can set up your boxes and drawers however you want. I also like that DMS, Receipts, & Automate are all in the same software and in the preferences you can "hide" the ones you don't have - that way all my files and workflow can be accessed via FileCenter. It is easy to navigate files and folders, and I love the folder templates. Building reports and inputting receipts is a lot faster in FileCenter than it is in Neat Software, and I was able to file my taxes a lot faster! Support has largely been fast and helpful. This is a smaller company than Neat, so sometimes interaction with the team in their community groups takes awhile to hear from, but one gets the sense that they really are interested in what their customers want and need.

Cons

There is a delay in switching between receipt boxes/drawers as you wait for it to load. Once you are in it is fast - but it would be nice if the load time is a bit faster. This might be because I am using a Cloud Drive as the source for my files. There are also a few bugs (persistent settings preferences that don't save) that we have been waiting for awhile to be fixed - however the software updates themselves come regularly.
