Seamless data management enhances security while monolithic architecture and reporting need improvements

I believe the reporting features need improvement, as other competitors in the market provide better analytics. Hyland is working on a new platform (HXP) to integrate features from all products, addressing some concerns. Additionally, there could be more integration points with products Hyland has acquired, such as Alfresco and Nuxeo. Offering a trial version with basic features would allow users to experience the product before purchasing. I find OnBase's monolithic architecture to be expensive, and adopting microservices could be beneficial.

Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees

Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors

The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

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."

"I like the cloud and its integrability."

"The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities."

"The product's initial setup phase is not difficult."

"It provided data security features, allowing restrictions on sensitive documents, such as who could view or modify them."

"The retention module is one of the most valuable features. Whatever we scan onto the system can be identified and we are notified when the records are due to be disposed."

"Integrating Hyland OnBase with our systems enabled us to automate document designs and templates, which was extremely helpful in the finance and banking industry."

"We found the setup process to be okay since they do offer a troubleshooting guide."

More Hyland OnBase pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."

Cons

"Software malfunctioning usually occurs when we receive documents from external sources."

"An area for improvement would be the training - getting our people up to speed on how to use it required more training than we expected due to the complexity of the solution."

"The application could potentially be more open-source, allowing integration with more solutions."

"The solution’s initial setup is a little difficult."

"The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly."

"I find OnBase's monolithic architecture to be expensive, and adopting microservices could be beneficial."

"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 migration is a bit difficult in the tool."

More Hyland OnBase cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OnBase is reasonably priced."

"The solution costs around $6,000 per month."

"The tool's price is high."

"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."

"There are a number of different types of licenses. There are concurrent licenses, individual licenses and imaging licenses."
