Pros
OpenKM is a great software for document filing and search. Also it is excellently suited as backend-service for own applications or the integration in third-party applications.
We have had a good experience, the software fulfills its purpose even with plenty of features, just with a couple of customer service problems. We feel comfortable with the application.
Very useful software for document management, many useful features for end users like me.
Cons
There are a few features that I had trouble getting more info on. User access can be a pain to set up, especially retroactively.
Page layout is a bit confusing this makes it difficult for users to access.
The interface is a bit outdated. OCR is a bit hit or miss.

Fantastic DMS solution

Great solution with all fully integrated components of DMS core, workflow, reporting, OCR, etc.

Very cost-effective yet with enterprise-class features and functionalities.

Vendor response

Digital Document Management Done Right!

Reviewed 5 years ago

Digital Document Management can be implemented to a very wide range of verticals, but to be precise and in my experience, you can achieve: - Procurement documents - HR Documents - Medical Images - Legal Contracts - Service Contracts

Pros

The most valuable advantage of OpenKM is its API. It is so easy to connect OpenKM to other systems (this is the most common scenario for Document Management). Using Rest services, OpenKM can connect to your ERP, CRM or even your BPM of choise, you name it.

Cons

Its UI is a little dated, but version 7 will come with a big overhaul in this regard! So, stay tuned.

Vendor response

We at OpenKM, appreciate your highly positive feedback. We are very excited by the opportunities and advancements possible with Version 7, and hope to be able to show the improvements to the UI soon.

OpenKM Experience

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Overall functionality. Open Source. Feature rich.

Cons

The application was written with discrepancies such as: • The Copy and Move command behave differently as it relates to inheriting permission in the target folder. The Move command should work like copy with the option to clone security. • Email: When sending an email from the Write Email icon, the emails get saved in the Email section below Taxonomy. However, when emails are sent via Send link or...

Vendor response

We at OpenKM appreciate your feedback. Our team is currently performing a significant user interface overhaul as part of the version 7 update, and we have sent your UI requests to our technical staff so they may be reviewed for inclusion in the new interface. We will be providing many improvements soon, and hope to see your desired changes among them.

Good for building a searchable PDF database

Reviewed 5 years ago

We use the software to maintain bills received from our facilities over 2 states. We have to keep everything for at least 2 years before compacting and archiving with the ability to pull up documents on the fly. We currently have roughly 200,000 PDFs in OpenKM and the only lag comes from Adobe. We are running it on an in-house VM with very little resource usage and have had almost no problems.

Pros

Drag and drop from file explorer is a huge plus for our non-tech savvy users. Adding a tag to each PDF for future recall is good if you don't want to OCR everything. Up time is excellent. Over the last ~2 years, we have gone down maybe twice, and neither time was for more than an hour. Very dependable.

Cons

The interface is a bit outdated. OCR is a bit hit or miss. Help files could be better. There are a few features that I had trouble getting more info on. User access can be a pain to set up, especially retroactively.

Vendor response

Hello dear customer, We, at OpenKM, appreciate your overall positive feedback. We had a technical concern preventing us from updating our UI, which has been addressed with Version 7. Interface improvements are now on our development schedule. We are also currently revising our documentation for the new version, and it will see improvements shortly as well. The OCR and User Authentication both...

Reviewed 5 years ago

We have solved our NYS and HIPAA regulatory requirements for governance of our documents.

Pros

It has all the features that a company needs to satisfy requirements for documentation management.

Cons

It requires a basic training session before any user can get started. We about one hour to get them started, then a follow-up later.
