PowerDMS Overview

What is PowerDMS?

PowerDMS is a policy and compliance management platform for high-trust organizations. PowerDMS is the leading, cloud-based platform bringing compliance to life through policy, training, and accreditation management solutions. PowerDMS provides a secure, cloud-based repository to manage policy and procedure documents throughout the entire lifecycle. Develop, review, approve, distribute, and track every policy with confidence, knowing that only one version exists, old versions are archived, and every instance is up-to-date after revisions. This creates a single source of truth for all your policy content. With a platform like PowerDMS, you get an ecosystem where key management solutions and tools connect and inform one another. It gives you control over a single, living version of every document, so when you update a policy, for example, every instance of it in your training, public-facing documents, and accreditation systems is updated as well. In other words, PowerDMS brings compliance to life.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

The software helps to organize and efficiently disseminate documents, policies, memos, training, and surveys to our employees.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

The online chat feature for all the questions I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

Here are just the ones I've noticed today...I'm sure I am forgetting some.

Clunky, non-intuitive interface.

Unclear terminology and meanings for terms and tasks.

System logs me out after 20 minutes.

My rep sent just me links for answers to my questions instead of picking up the phone. Since I am such a new admin, a more personal touch would have been appreciated.

Further, I feel like all the reviews here are suspect, since there are none below 4-star, and reviewers were provided gifts for their (tainted) reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

Shop around. Ask questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Just trying to get files organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ray Lau of PowerDMS

Jonathan, thank you so much for the honest feedback. We are excited to see you have signed up for a usability session and can't wait for you to share your thoughts on what areas we can improve upon within the application with our user experience team. It is feedback from customers like you who help shape our product every day. Our system logs out after 20 minutes and can be quite cumbersome. However, we do this because security is very important to us and we want to make sure your data is safe. Thank you again for your review and we look forward to improving our application to make your experience better.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

The ease of use and the interface is basic to meet all employees needs no matter the technical background. The standards tool to keep up with accreditation or state standards is the only way to do things and "just say no" to paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

It's time for the standards tool to get an upgrade, to allow for automatic scoring and getting the ability to run a report to show all non-compliance issues with their attachments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

Get references and ask about the support after the sale, you will see that it is superior to any other products out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem was getting ISO 17025 compliant, by using PowerDMS as a paperless system, it is easy to manage the compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features should be quicker to come. While I work for a rather small municipality, I've seen some items that would make PDMS much more efficient (from my perspective) and I would like to see them implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
