Alfresco Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Technical Project Manager at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0Alfresco effectively consolidates unstructured document management with customizable workflows and extensive APIs. Though documentation and workflow features have improved, challenges in workflow customization and system governance remain. Proper governance is crucial to avoid performance issues caused by improper document handling.
Country Head Spain at Apiux4.0We use Alfresco to store transaction-related documents, valuing its persistent document-linking and customizability. While its storage method is a security concern, it offers efficient document management, providing significant ROI compared to solutions like FileNet, SharePoint, and OpenText.
Head Of Information Technology at a consultancy with 11-50 employees3.0We used Alfresco for document management, focusing on automating manual forms. Its integration, search capability, and metadata storage were valuable. However, improvements are needed in workflow digitalization and AI. We switched to SharePoint due to cost-effectiveness with Office 365.
Program Manager at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees2.5I primarily use Alfresco for document look-up, but it's less user-friendly than Nautilus, which I preferred due to familiarity with its setup. While Alfresco offers extensive search capabilities, its configuration is challenging and index fields are unintuitive.
Head Of Information Technology at a consultancy with 11-50 employees3.0I use Alfresco for content and workflow, appreciating its flexible metadata search and customization. However, I find its interface too complex, Microsoft integration lacking, and costs high. It's best suited for very large, highly customized datasets.
Works with 11-50 employeesI find Alfresco highly extensible and scalable, a unique open-source enterprise CMS. However, it has a steep learning curve where errors are unforgiving, and technical support can be slow, making expert assistance crucial.
Manager Records and Information Governance at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees3.0I find Alfresco easy to use for sharing documents and collaboration. Deployment was decent and it's stable. However, I need improvements in metadata, auto-classification, disposition, and legal hold, and costs add up for additional functions.
Online Educator, specializing in ECM and BPM at Marver Solutions Ltd5.0From my 10 years' experience, Alfresco is a stable, scalable ECM excellent for document management and publishing. It requires expert setup and administration. While customer service is good, tech support is average, and I'd improve the Model Manager.
