About Document Locator

Document Locator is a centralized document management platform that couples seamless Microsoft Windows integration with browser access. The system is available on site, or as a hosted, cloud-based option. Full-featured document management is placed directly into Windows Explorer, keeping people in a familiar and comfortable work environment. Use scanning and imaging to convert paper documents to full-text searchable digital files for paperless management, alongside quick import options for electronic files, email and PDF document archiving. Find documents with instant, advanced and saved searches, leveraging full-text indexing, category profiling and metadata descriptions.

Document Locator also includes automatic version or revision controls to track changes, making it possible to retrieve prior instances, edit or promote sub-versions and view complete audit trails.

    It is cost effective, mobility oriented, and adds to data management

    Pros

    The application is user friendly and as well being adaptive to users. It is an application that is handy and challenging to learn as an administrator

    Cons

    I have not really find any cons applicable to me as a user and an administrator. Except on the web tools, users that have folder permission on the repository, are not able to see it on the web.

    Our experience with Document Locator has been great. We have no regrets. The Team at Document Locator was extremely helpful in working with the migration of our data from our previous software vendor. They went over and beyond to make sure we received not only all of our documents, but the meta data that was attached. The Team customized our platform to meet our needs. The Trainers were patient and detail oriented. The software is easy to use, intuitive, and reliable. Document Locator has improved our efficiency in our daily duties.

    Pros

    We use Document Locator all day every day. The software is easy to use, intuitive, and reliable. The Team at Document Locator was extremely helpful in working with the migration of our data from our previous software vendor who was not helpful. Each time we have received training, it has been informative, clear, and concise. Folder Structures and Profiles are great tools to allow us to work efficiently with consistency across departments. We have experienced no downtime. Document Locator has improved our efficiency in our daily duties.

    Cons

    Emails are automatically named which is great. However, we would love to be able to reorder the auto-naming to be specific to us.
    We heavily rely on the search feature or breadcrumbs. However, we have to manually navigate to the file to save the document in when "printing to Document Locator". The breadcrumbs or search features are not available in the "print to" function.

    Good tool for windows and a good way to organize all your documents.

    Pros

    Used it for our internal document management and enterprise knowledge base. Its an easy document manager with great features.

    Cons

    The pricing is at higher side for less than 10 users. There should be custom pricing according to the number of users.

    Life's more simple

    Reviewed on 07/12/2023

    Pros

    It is easy to use even for the beginner, not at all difficult and makes life more simple for me in my daily life when it comes to work management. I definitely recommend it to anyone that likes to save time but have organization as well. Definitely saves time rather than trying to do everything manually. I have found that my work life is more organized than before I started using this program....

    Cons

    There's nothing really to dislike unless you like unorganized chaos when trying to locate files folders and documents, if that's you then this program is not for you because this program is the complete opposite and is a life saver in my opinion. So as far as finding anything I dislike, there's isn't anything that I find that I dislike about this program. Again I recommend this to anyone who works in an office type setting especially.

    Pros

    I like that you can go back and find older versions of documents. For us that is the most important feature.

    Cons

    I dislike how outdated it appears at times.
