Analista at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
Digital workflows have transformed meeting minutes and document tracking across departments
There are some particular aspects of Hyland OnBase, such as layouts or some modules that have just been built, that are not designed with the end user in mind. That's something they need to improve. However, even if it's not adequate for the end user, you can still take that and, with custom development, use those modules and APIs in a user-friendly way. They need to improve the interface and usability of Unity and think more about usability. In terms of tool usability, sometimes there are too many clicks to perform an action, which, if you developed it yourself, you could do in two clicks, whereas within Unity you need four or five clicks to do the same process.

Enabled us to consolidate workflows and reduce time spent searching for transactions
We have consolidated the workflow and have certain elements and functionalities developed in the new system so that my agents who are using the application don't have to do manual tasks searching for mail. So, we've consolidated and arranged some alerts and have done some segregation. The user is benefited, and the time spent on searching a transaction is reduced.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are that it's very secure and provides audit trails for our documents."
"We found the setup process to be okay since they do offer a troubleshooting guide."
"Its most valuable aspect is its flexibility"
"A single platform with multiple capabilities to orchestrate processes, complex business rules and all types of business content."
"The product's initial setup phase is not difficult."
"The impact of Hyland OnBase on our organization is that automating manual processes has had an incredible effect on our return on investment, and the man-hours saved by automating processes pays for the system, ranging from one to five hours."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use as long as you know what your business requirement are or the specifications are straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable features are integration and flexibility."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"Good for static workflows, and the customer support team is proactive and accommodating."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
 

Cons

"Hyland OnBase can be improved by providing a modern user interface, simplified deployment and admin overhead, API capabilities, and advanced AI."
"There are some particular aspects of Hyland OnBase, such as layouts or some modules that have just been built, that are not designed with the end user in mind."
"For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy."
"We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution."
"I believe Hyland OnBase can improve its cost structure as a platform or software as a service because currently they only sell a few packages that come bundled with many modules likely not used by clients."
"We found the size of images to be a restriction, though this may have been due to the API used rather than the Hyland application."
"The pricing structure could be more thought-out; if it were cheaper than it is now, I think it would be more useful and more companies could use it over other competitors."
"As an ECM solution, there are a lot of improvements needed. For example, the web client should address the next generation of web technologies such as HTML5 and stylish layout."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"On scalability, if you count the scale from 1 to 10, I would give Newgen a zero because we are unable to achieve any in-house enhancements or new processes."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."

"They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
