Alfresco Reviews

This is mainly for unstructured document management systems with workflow and data classification.

The overall extensive base APIs are available, and it is open for extension. This part is something I appreciate. You can have your own use cases and customizations. It is highly extensible, meaning you can do whatever you want. You can meet your users' expected features without having Alfresco's involvement. You don't need Alfresco to be there for your future enhancements, which is very advantageous.

After onboarding Alfresco, many applications got decommissioned and everything merged into Alfresco.

We used Alfresco as a document management system for automating and digitizing manual forms. Those were the main use cases.

The digitalization of workflow, forms, operations, and business processes has improved our organization.

I use Alfresco primarily to look up documents. However, it is not as user-friendly as the previous solution, Nautilus, which I was more familiar with due to my involvement in its configuration and setup.

It is a basic solution where you store documents and perform searches. Alfresco allows broad searches with many index fields that you can search on, although the created fields and their values may not be intuitive.

I mainly use Alfresco for content management, workflow, integration to scanning solutions, and reduction.

The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the searching elements of the metadata. Other good features are that it's open-source and allows a lot of customization.

The best feature is extensibility. Hands down, the best feature of Alfresco is what is "not there yet". The product allows engineering teams and developers to introduce new things in a seamless and easy way. Alfresco, as a company, is supporting this approach by improving the Alfresco Maven SDK and extending native APIs.

Alfresco plays a core part in our business, where we use the platform as a Learning Content Management System (LCMS) as opposed to a "simple" CMS. We have developed a proprietary solution to integrate Alfresco with a third party Learning Management System (LMS), which is the key success of our business.

We are using Alfresco for collaboration and IT project records. I am only using it for team sites. My sites are not really collaborative, but more sharing info and documents. I like the ease of use, sections, and calendar.

Sharing is easier than using file shares. Hopefully less duplication of files.

Document Management, Content Model Manager, MS Office integration, Collaboration & Sharing, Workflow, Digital Asset Management, support for standards such as Content Management Interoperability Interface (CMIS).

We use the Alfresco product to keep track of project information (documentation), being it email conversation or office documents. Content can be easily found via Free Text Search or metadata search.

I have also been involved in a lot of Alfresco projects in the publishing area where really come into its best. The publishing area has high demands on a flexible content management solution and business process engine. Alfresco can be used to support full digitalizing of book production and publishing.
