Easy to use, Functional, dependable!

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

We scan a large number of documents into our system daily and need to search them pretty quickly after they are loaded. This system allows us to do that with minimal processing time and returns reliable results.

Cons

Once you get use to the process of building workflows to process documents it is easy but the learning curve can be intense at times. But with support it isn't too bad.

Many features I am not too familiar with, but have not been in a situation when I needed to use them.

Ability to have a central repository that is version controlled for users to manage documents.

Pros

Easy to use. Versioning ability. It is easy to import and export documents. I like that up to 1000 documents can be loaded at one time. Seems to run at the expected speed. Flexible metadata fields.

Cons

Security is cumbersome to setup. Not able to handle multiple domains in one version. The preview window should support more file types. In line editor sometimes does not Save the changes you make even though you did save them.

more stumbling blocks and pitfalls than any other product

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Its User Interface for validation users is so simple and minimum that validation users can't mess up.

Cons

Support. I've yet to get through to someone on the phone after over a dozen tickets opened, always a voice mail and email, then waiting hours for response. My installation team, a reseller and it did not go well. I don't believe this was ever set up correctly to begin with and now it's a mess to try to figure out what went wrong. 5 months in and we still don't get 80% out of the product.

Vendor response

Kate, Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and will immediately address the issue to explore what happened with your GlobalCapture installation. We've escalated your comments to a solutions professional who will gather additional details and follow up with you directly as soon as possible.

Good product, excellent customer service

Reviewed 7 months ago

any time we have an issue, they are very quick to get back to me and schedule a meeting to bring up a solution

Pros

It has saved us a lot of time with document imaging, we scan close to 300 documents daily so OCR has been a great tool for reading the documents.

Cons

sometimes it doesn't read quite well the documents or the separator marks miss something - at the same time, our documents are sometimes ripped or have writing on the text.

Thanks for your review, Anett! We are glad to hear our platform has saved you time by digitizing your documents. We appreciate your feedback.

Great Software

Pros

GlobalSearch has allowed my org to automate paper processes and go paperless with ease. Also works great with GlobalForms.

Cons

You can not secure done to the document when it comes to who can see certain documents. Like to keep things under one archive but control who can see what.

I use Global Capture to automate processing of customs forms.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

I like it's accuracy compared to other OCR solutions I have used. It allows me to zone in on problem areas and configure them to find the data I'm looking for as best as possible.

Cons

I don't like how once something is in the queue, I can't move it up or down in the batch manager. This is a problem for me when I'm processing a large batch of files and need to test a new workflow or process a priority document.

Pros

Concept is great and you can customize everything yourself. Global Search looks good but Smart Search needs improvement. Customer service is great though!

Cons

Both Smart Search and Global Search are lagging and we've only been "on-line" for a few months. I'm concerned about how much slower the software will be as we add more and more invoices into the system.

Efficient Document Management Solution

Reviewed a year ago

It is largely positive. The app's robust document management features, customisable metadata, and advanced search options have significantly improved my document organisation and retrieval processes.

Pros

It has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to navigate and use, even for those new to document management systems. I can quickly locate and access the tools I need. The ability to create and customise metadata fields for documents is a standout feature. This ensures that the documents are tagged with relevant information, making searching and sorting a breeze.

Cons

Mobile features are less than what we get on laptop.

Thanks for your review, Gauravi! We are glad to hear our platform has significantly improved your document organization and retrieval process. We appreciate your feedback.

Ease of management compared to the old document management system. Have also received positive feedback from users.

Pros

Management of permissions is a snap with the SmartSearch client. Management is performed through the same client. Global forms has also may it easy for users to submit data while out of the office.

Managing the product in the web client is a little clunky. However, we are still getting use to the management via web browser.
