The new releases incorporate significant advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and language processing capabilities
Version control interface is very good. The new releases of DocuShare incorporate significant advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and language processing capabilities. For instance, when you upload a document into DocuShare, you no longer need to set up templates to identify and extract important fields. The system automatically reads the document and identifies key information. For example, in a contract document between two entities, it can recognize the contract start date, end date, reference number, and other relevant details without manual intervention. This automated process streamlines document management. You should know your requirements and understand your environment, as well as the goals you want to achieve. Try out the demo first to see if it fits your needs and objectives before making a decision. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."

Cons

"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
"The navigation is confusing."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."

"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"It is very expensive.​"
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
