Helps us secure viewing of customer accounts; scalability streamlines production of large reports
You can control who views what, as far as security is concerned, in viewing customer accounts. I'm not sure if that was available in the product at the beginning, but we use it extensively now. Also expandability. It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along.

JavierGonzalez3 - PeerSpot reviewer
A comprehensive document management system that enables seamless workflow and robust scalability
In the past, there was a lot of manual work and paperwork involved, as documents had to be physically passed from desk to desk for approval. DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process. This has led to improved productivity and smoother workflow.

Pros

"It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along."
"We standardized our CIS log processing with CA View. We support a whole bunch of LPARs, about 80 or so. When we go to an LPAR, we know just where the CIS log is, it's in CA View, and we know how to get to it, we don't have to search around for it."
"For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."
"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process."
 

Cons

"There was one customer we were trying convert over, and it was complicated. There were retention criteria which seemed a little more limited than with some of the other products."
"I believe they do probably have a GUI interface for the laptop, so you can just use the interface instead of the mainframe ISPF interface. I think that's already available but, if not, that would be my only issue."
"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It should have collaboration features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It requires other pieces of CA software and license keys, thing like that. That's one thing to keep in mind. It requires CA Common Services in order to actually be licensed to run on LPAR."
"While the price may be considered slightly high, it is still reasonable within the context of other options available on the market."
