Alfresco Review

PROS: I like that this software is open source and comes with a variety of customization features. It can be integrated with other online services and tools. Alfresco is a flexible CMS that comes with a capability to define metadata.

CONS: My business had been using this app for a couple of years, and I can say that it works great for our needs. Nothing to dislike, anyway.

PROS: What I love about Alfresco is its open source deployment. It suits well for my business because it is built on top J2EE platform. Small businesses like us can take advantage of its features and tools in a variety of ways.

CONS: The software is a bit hard to understand and use. You need to train yourself to maximize all the available features.

PROS: Alfresco outperforms other ECM software when it comes to versatility and flexibility. I like that this solution can be integrated with Exchange app, and with this, a variety of capabilities for document disposition across different types of content are enabled. It also offers the option if we want to use its UI or make one from scratch, as well as establish a solid enterprise search tool to be taken advantage of your employees, customers, and business partners while securing your system with the role-based access and permission. We can even choose whether to use a public or private cloud, and the app provides an Amazon-based cloud solution that comes with a highly secured infrastructure. We even had a smooth workflow with this app. With its Activiti feature, we effectively and successfully models and implemented a workflow that works in all departments in supporting the process that regards to regulated manufacturing materials change request.

CONS: I would love to use this app for my business, but the entry point seems too high for its price. Its cloud-based version looks compelling but doesn’t suit both to security governance policies and clients’ technical model of many large companies we serve.

PROS: Alfresco is a useful content management system for our business! We have a customized user interface created on the app. The best part about it is that it is easy to use and understand. Two thumbs up!

CONS: The software could have been better if it also has a mobile capability. Not sure if they’ve already created a mobile version since I haven’t used it for a couple of years.

PROS: Alfresco is easy to use and user-friendly. It provides a big help while we’re working with an IT company. Our team handles commercial accounts, and this app helps us manage presentations and documents with ease. As a part of the team, I was assigned to collect research analysis and documents and send them through this app.

CONS: I cannot integrate Alfresco with other online services such as CRM and ERP. We’re not using the solution anymore, so I think this issue is addressed already.
