BlinkDMS vs. Epicor ECM

A big organization. Where documents need to be shared or viewed by multiple parties. Easy upload and understanding with very little training needed. This helps workflows and saves time. We did run into issues where there was no multi language option

It is well suited for billing service storage and retrieval. It ends the need to pay extra for a storage space. It also makes for easy cleanup of files on a yearly basis.

• Templates - By being able to create templates for each document type, it made organizing files much easier. It also made the titles similar in format, which also allows for better organization.
• We were able to scan documents directly into docStar, which helped us eliminate extra steps. For example, if we were missing a page from a document, and we received it at a later time, we could scan just that page into docStar as opposed to scanning the entire document again.
• The functionalities are straight forward, so it is not hard to use the docStar system.

• More UX options
• Long download
• Better way to file within a file

• The procedure to save documents is cumbersome -- too many steps.
• The naming process is not intuitive.
• Emailing large documents from DocStar can be impossible -- if a document is large, we sometimes are unable to email it from DocStar.
• Customer support has not been good. Training is confusing, and even after training sessions, we do not fully comprehend how to use the software.

Our support for DocStar has been phenomenal! They are always prompt, courteous, and effective. We have never had a bad experience with the support staff and they are always available when we need their help.

The simple design of BlinkDMS is my preference. Especially when it comes to new employees. Currently using Dropbox and we struggle to find things where more frequently than when I had used BlinkDMS.

Briefly evaluated Veeam before settling on new DMS that had these features. That product looked outstanding, but couldn't justify the duplication of costs for similar results. Did not get a lot of chance to use it, but the mobile availability to access the console looked great and easy to use.

• We have saved almost 10,000 dollars a year just in toner cost. We had to implement some up front cost for tablets and other computer aspects but the initial cost of this was about 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. docStar has saved us an instrumental amount of money and will so in the future as well.
