    A major problem of storing Dynamics 365 documents in SharePoint is the missing synchronization of privileges and permissions. This allows unauthorized SharePoint users to access private documents and sensitive data even if they don’t have CRM privileges to do so. CB Replicator, is an out-of-the-box solution that is designed to remedy this issue by automatically synchronizing Dynamics CRM privileges with SharePoint permissions.

    It is an ideal program for the portfolio of already consolidated clients, for large financial companies with a high professional profile. In the cases that I do not recommend it, it is for small and medium-sized financial companies, with a portfolio of clients in training, since the cost-benefit ratio is not attractive.

    GREAT for combining documents into a single PDF. Great for working with a PDF. Not so great converting PDF to Word format. Would like to see more effort put into that development. Would like to see more effective testing of updates prior to pushing them out as well. Otherwise it is awesome.

    Cons
    Connecting Software
    • The graphics could be developed in a better way, they should be more modern, friendly and show the information in more detail.
    • Develop a module in the application that allows personalization by the user, giving him the possibility to manage a tool made by him to suit him. Moves the APPS Mobile concept to the design of the program.
    • Although the tool is well integrated with Microsoft, you can think of a development of integration with social networks or mobile developments, both users, and customers.
    • Develop a more economical and simple version, aimed at small and medium enterprises, with small client portfolios

    • I find that quickly editing text within a document or adding a line of text is clunky and can snowball into things popping out of place. I prefer to export text, and then work on it elsewhere.
    • Sometimes it seems that text recognition is trying too hard and throws me paper punches as "O"s and wrinkles as shapes, so I have to get rid of those artifacts.
    • The "Update Available" popup which is usually not an actual update announcement but rather an offer to sell me something is annoying.

    It is a complementary tool of the main CRM, which provides an adequate management of the documentation, reports, files that are derived from the business activity. It offers adequate levels of security for small businesses, the implementation is easy compared to other tools, it is easy to use, it offers adequate file capacity. In the future it can be strengthened with access to the cloud, development of apps and integration with other platforms.

    As it has already been said before, it is a simple implementation program, easy to use, with a short learning curve, with a friendly interface, a good design, a security according to the type of company and with the possibility of personalization. It provides an accessible cost tool to improve business management and document management.

    It is fast and easy to get the hang of. It really didn't take a lot of effort to learn how to use this program and I appreciated that it was pretty "plug and play" and there wasn't a long learning curve.

    Other that a PDF partially disappearing if left up for a long period of time - no issues. (If you close it and reopen it, it is all there. We have some PDFs that are 400-600 pages long.)

    Pages nearly always load at the expected rapid speed. Some documents that print quickly from Adobe Reader print much more slowly from Power PDF. I have never generated a report - that's a feature I didn't know existed until now and do not know what it's for

    Until now, technical support has not been required to a large extent, but for this question three variables must be taken into account; The level of complexity of the implementation of the tool, the courses, tutorials, training and learning curve of the users, and finally the technical support as such. This tool has implementation attributes and ease of use, reducing the incidence of technical support.

    I have used it for 15 years and have only needed support once: a simple update that allowed me to use the software as intended. The support team was attentive and responsive, and I was on my way very quickly.

    I got an overview of the product from my predecessor who was about to retire from the job I now hold. He did not go into very many of the features and probably only knew about the ones he used most frequently.

    We watched the training videos and tested out the features and functionality side by side. Some features are not used on a regular basis is it is convenient to go back and review training on that particular functionality when needed.

    Check the seller's website, read the technical specifications of the product, calculate the investment in personnel, software and hardware, validate that the management modules document is what they are looking for. Project the integration of the program with the systems that the company manages. Read many reviews and note the most important points of the user experiences.

    Easy and quick, with no problems or support needed. Worked as intended right out of the box. E-signing was the only area that implementation was dificult and required support

    Basically, my main experience is focused on Dynamics, I have worked with similar tools developed in a particular way by the firms for which I have worked. They are monitoring tools developed by the system and planning area. For the internal use of the company. Obviously, this is a leading international program.

    There is nothing to compare it to. Tungsten Power PDF is by far an easier and more efficient option. The one advantage of CutePDF is the functionality of overlay and underlay with headers and footers. The other functions in Tungsten Power PDF are much easier to use. Pricing is also an attractive option.

    Not really familiar since I'm the only person who uses it. But in the past it has been my understanding that Power PDF was offered only on a single-license basis, so it's been expensive for me to use it at home and at work because I had to pay for it on my own. In my current position management supports it so I at least only have to pay for it once.

    Return on Investment
    Connecting Software
    • Without speaking directly of figures, on the positive side of the implementation of the program is tied to the time of learning the tool. In practice, it is much easier to learn by professionals, making the implementation time short, as well as, minimizes the margin of error in the initial handling of the program.
    • As it is a tool for easy learning and with a reduction in the margin of error due to the learning curve, it allows working only with the technical support offered by the provider, without having the need to create an internal department of attention to the user, which lowers costs.
