What do you like best about AODocs?

It's very easy to implement and customize for basic metadata management needs. I love how AODocs enables use of Awesome Tables to provide easy search, results display, and access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

It is challenging to manage and time-consuming to make global edits in large libraries (e.g., thousands of files). I'd love to see more powerful global edit features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

Give it a try, especially if you are on the fence about investing in an expensive document management systems. This just might tick all the boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

We moved to Google Drive from SharePoint, where we were managing thousands of files with metadata. AODocs enabled us to preserve those valuable metadata in our new file management environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AODocs?

Very flexible customization of documents, for any purpose (e.g. it is a storage for the production budgets, for procedures and so on - all these documents require some specific treatment).

Then, the workflow flexibility (i meant access rights on each step can be set up separately, as well as email notifications).

Also I like updates that bring new features that might improve work of me and my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

The last thing I disliked had disappeared with one of the updates. It was absence of linking the workflow with some fields in the metadata (now this feature is presented). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

Just do not be afraid with large amount of settings - everything is done to make your work easy and to setup everything to fit your needs. I agree - this might take some time, but when you become familiar with this tool - it becomes an additiona pair of hands for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making documents that require a chain of approvals/validations.

For benefits - completely digital process of such activity.

In my company AoDocs is also used as an "idea collecting" tool - to implement new ideas helping to improve our everyday working life.

One of our departments use it as a shared storage for some important documents that may be accessed bys several people.

As for me, I'm planning to make a digital tool for vacations' applications (to completely get rid of paper ones). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AODocs?

I love the workflows and automation that there is. It is simple to use and easy to figure out if you don't know how to use it. I have mostly taught myself everything just by fiddling around in the AODOCS and figuring it out. It has lots of different nice features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

I dislike how many different drawbacks or things you can't do with AODOCS. For instance, You can't use a DMS in google drive. We were also promised a lot of features before we bought it that turned out not to be true. The implementation and setup are tedious and confusing. It makes it difficult to import everything over to google drive and AODOCS because you have to be the owner of the document in order to move it, perhaps they can change that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

If you are looking for greater control over your documents or looking to establish a DMS AODOCS serves that purpose. Be sure to research thoroughly what is actually does and doesn't do before you get and realize it doesn't exactly work the way you need it to. Ask specific questions as everyone's use case is very different for each company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have created document approval workflows for my technical documents. The process is automated, which is nice. AODOCS is also a central location that we can store all our documents which has created better document control. Another benefit of AODOCS is that when an employee quits we don't lose all of his shared google documents because the documents are not owned by him but by the storage account. Most of the problems that I have with AODOCS is that most people don't like new things and have shied away from implementing it and using it to its full capabilities.

What do you like best about AODocs?

The fact that we feel like we "own" the product. At anytime we can make changes that we need. Our organization uses Google G Suite Enterprise we have unlimited storage. This makes AOdocs the perfect component to be used with our system. All this makes the scalability of AOdocs great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

Sometimes it takes longer than I would like for the uploading process to finish. I don't think this is due to our upload bandwidth but sometimes it does seem to take a minute, especially when uploading multiple documents at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

Make sure you have plenty of end-users who are in management that are willing to take on this product and push it to their rest of the end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

The enormous costs of our previous document archiving platform and the time and resources required to make changes to it. We've saved a lot of time and frustrations with AOdocs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

Very important in my daily experience:

1. During last AODocs actualization disappeared option of few documents uploading one time.

Before I could upload many documents one time, and with "Metadata copy" app I could manage same metadata for all of them and then easy pass for approval.

Now I need to do it one doc each time. It takes much more time.

2. When I want to search documents waiting for approval of one person from few people, it is giving me results of all documents waiting for approval, even if this person approved, but the other one did not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AODocs?

The best about AO docs is through this you can control the data of your whole company without any hassles. No Need of installing big servers, appointing technical team and relatively other IT costly hassles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

You cannot move and delete all files together. To move a particular file you have to follow a lengthy process to select individual files and move it one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centrally control the data of all different locations. No fear of data loss as it does not allow the user to delete anything and keeps a version accordingly. One the data is saved then it is 100% secure from all if and but.'We have saved thousands of amount in terms of money by removing the IT team, Servers and Specific Data Audit Cost after installing AO Docs with Google Drive and made it mandatory for our organisation.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about AODocs?

AO docs allow you to easily maintain a "workplace-wide" database/file explorer that is easily accessible through your Google Drive account. In our case, it is campus-wide and allows everyone on campus to easily maintain access to their documents and projects from anywhere; while allowing for appropriate user permissions. The best part for me is its synchronicity to my "Finder" on my Mac so I can access my Google Drive files like you access any other file from the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

It does not allow you to have a working document without "pulling it down" from the cloud and "saving and uploading" the newer version. So if you don't save it properly, or if someone else is accessing the document at the same time, they will not see your changes, or even be made aware that there may be another version currently being checked out in another location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

Great if your organization can still come up with business standards as to how to properly maintain "master-files" and notifying others when checking out files (much like checking out different branches in software design) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

There is now a streamlined way to access company-wide files, from anywhere, at any time. The best part about the availability of the app is that there is no need to download additional software onto your computer. It's a simple browser-app that becomes available in your Google Drive toolbelt as soon as the download is complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AODocs?

For communication: ordered and controlled way of information flow. In the terms of document management one can get only approved and last version of documents - that makes no confusion about what is valid. Such a powerful & helpful tool. Plus connection to Google drive brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

Not dislike but missing - lack of confirmation if approved &sent document has been read by addresser. Plus editing of picutres or drawings could be improved ( I wouldn't mind if you restore editings solutions from old version of Word ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

it is really easy but be focused during training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?

- automated tool with all data traced

- metadata capability

- flexibility to customise stages of review, consultation & approval

- flexibility to integrate with Google Suite

- flexibility to use any document format Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AODocs?

- Need Management team that is apt with technologies

- Requires significant time to configure as a trade off for the flexibility

- New innovation - lack of "expert user" (not technical support user) to assist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AODocs:

If you have Management Team & users that are apt using technology, this is a good automation tool. It will take significant amount of time to be familiar & configure the database to what is required, however the system do works.

Presentation wise needs improving, however the functionality is robust. Search capability for contents & metadata are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AODocs solving and how is that benefiting you?
