Seamless data management enhances security while monolithic architecture and reporting need improvements

I believe the reporting features need improvement, as other competitors in the market provide better analytics. Hyland is working on a new platform (HXP) to integrate features from all products, addressing some concerns. Additionally, there could be more integration points with products Hyland has acquired, such as Alfresco and Nuxeo. Offering a trial version with basic features would allow users to experience the product before purchasing. I find OnBase's monolithic architecture to be expensive, and adopting microservices could be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Integrating Hyland OnBase with our systems enabled us to automate document designs and templates, which was extremely helpful in the finance and banking industry."

"It provided data security features, allowing restrictions on sensitive documents, such as who could view or modify them."

"The product's initial setup phase is not difficult."

"The solution's most valuable features are integration and flexibility."

"Its most valuable aspect is its flexibility"

"The retention module is one of the most valuable features. Whatever we scan onto the system can be identified and we are notified when the records are due to be disposed."

"The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities."

"We found the setup process to be okay since they do offer a troubleshooting guide."

More Hyland OnBase pros

"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."

"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."

Cons

"We found the size of images to be a restriction, though this may have been due to the API used rather than the Hyland application."

"For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy. It is getting better, but it is not yet good enough. Other products are comparatively doing better in terms of the user interface. I have been hearing about Box, which is very easy to use and learn for the users. OnBase has to work on this aspect. It should have BPM capabilities. We compete with tools that provide the BPM feature and support those standards. They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly."

"The application could potentially be more open-source, allowing integration with more solutions."

"Software malfunctioning usually occurs when we receive documents from external sources."

"We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution."

"An area for improvement would be the training - getting our people up to speed on how to use it required more training than we expected due to the complexity of the solution."

"The solution’s initial setup is a little difficult."

More Hyland OnBase cons

"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution costs around $6,000 per month."

"There are a number of different types of licenses. There are concurrent licenses, individual licenses and imaging licenses."

"The tool's price is high."

"They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"OnBase is reasonably priced."

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
