It is largely positive. The app's robust document management features, customisable metadata, and advanced search options have significantly improved my document organisation and retrieval processes.
Pros
It has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to navigate and use, even for those new to document management systems. I can quickly locate and access the tools I need. The ability to create and customise metadata fields for documents is a standout feature. This ensures that the documents are tagged with relevant information, making searching and sorting a breeze.
Cons
Mobile features are less than what we get on laptop.

Contract Management Made Easy
Reviewed on 2024-04-19
Pros
When it works, it works. We have been using this product for a few years now and it helps keep everything organized and easily searchable. Users can move / edit / export with ease. Ties right in with our AD for users and security permissions. Makes it easily manageable from an IT perspective.
Cons
Set up and some modifications can be a bit daunting, but with the help of Square 9's support team it usually ends up being not so bad.

We used to like it, but as it allegedly advances in software development, it bothers us more and more. This is not advancement, this is software regression.
Pros
It was cost-competitive, but recent price hikes have lessened that advantage. Has an easy-to-configure archive setup, but its getting messier on their new web consoles. I also like the way it can be both web and desktop client, but new developments in this software are leaving us disappointed.
Cons
The viewer interface is slow in launching a lot of retrieved documents. The Scanning Services to process documents runs slower than our old Digitech did, (and that's pretty slow). Their batch manager is NOT easy to use, and the new workflow interface is a mess.
Response from Square 9 Softworks

Cons
We passed our project time window but did not receive a warning we were at the end of the project time frame. Reaching out a week before with a red flag would have been great. We ended up expanding the project and addressed any lingering issues at that time.

For the cost, Square 9 is a good product. We have quoted other document imaging programs and the prices don't compare. For the most part, it does exactly what we need it to do and it properly stores all of our AP documents.
Pros
The workflow runs pretty smooth, and we are able to get these invoices to the people that need to see them, quickly. Once AP enters the invoice, they don't need to revisit the invoice until it is time to print the check. Therefore, the process is pretty easy for the AP person after the initial invoice entry.
Cons
There are disconnects often between Square 9 and our server. Some of the issues come from our end with the server, but when there is an issue with Square 9, it can take a while to get it fixed. I believe there aren't a ton of people working between our software company and Square 9, so that is probably the biggest issue we have.

Thanks for your review, Rodney. Glad to hear our solution has improved your company's AP processes. If you ever have issues, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team and they will be able to address you quickly. Thanks for being a Square 9 customer.

We have been using the Square 9 product for well over 5 years and the more you use it, the more you want to load into the system for simple retrieval and multi-user access throughout the organization.
Pros
The Auto Indexing using templates has had a greater impact on our efficiency than we ever expected! Every company needs document management and storage, but how it gets done is the real key and Square9 excels in that area!
Cons
We have had a few struggles with integration of the security pass-through with Windows Active Directory, but by utilizing security group permissions, it was easier to manage and is no longer an issue.

I am very satisfied with the Square 9 usage and ability for our school system. We mainly use it to store and recall documents on a daily basis throughout the school year.
Pros
I like the Document storage and working in each document plus the PDF conversion of each document.
Cons
Should be easier to troubleshoot issues instead of having to know SQL to do so plus information regarding the locations and troubleshooting.

The quality of the product and the price point doesn't even compete with other options we looked at.
Pros
The workflow for AP invoices and the document imaging storage is a lifesaver at our company. We process dozens of invoices daily, and automating the process through Square 9 is crucial to the efficiency at which we operate.
Cons
I am least satisfied with the speed at which my documents export. It doesn't take that long, but to import a batch of invoices to be processed typically takes one minute to populate in an Excel sheet.

Square 9 is primarily used for document storage at our office. It is easy and fast to use and it eliminates the storage of so much paper. I love that and enjoy using the program. I spend 6-8 hours on it each day and feel like my job is much easier.
Pros
The search function is the best element in my opinion. There are several ways you can conduct a search. It makes my job much easier.
Cons
The time it takes to "pull" up the document is frustrating. It is not all that long but the rest of the program is so fast that it makes this feel like forever.

The benefits of digitizing our records into a easy to use system has been a blessing to say the least. This shift has saved our employees so much time. It also has allowed us to implement district-wide procedures across all of our buildings that we were not able to do so in tha past!

We continue to expand our use of Square 9 products. Document management is an important part of any business and in healthcare it is critical. Document History makes HIPAA required audit trails into a seamless process. The infinitely customizable index fields make storage and retrieval seamless. We have been heavy users of both GlobalSearch and GlobalForms for many years, and could not be as efficient as we are without them.
Pros
The ability to retrieve documents in seconds makes all of our tasks easier regardless of the department. We have moved all document workflows into GlobalForms and GlobalSearch. Their Support and Implementation Departments are second to none. Their goal is to make customers happy.
Cons
No, I don't have any document management needs that the Square 9 products don't solve.

From implementation to completion, it was apparent that our satisfaction was Square 9's top priority. I'm happy to report that they earned us as a satisfied customer!
Pros
The document storage feature was the primary attraction to Square 9. But what sold us on Square 9 was the OCR technology, which has automated the invoice entry process. Further, with Square 9, we are able to import that data into our accounting system. Above all, it is easy to use, which has allowed a smooth transition for all users.
Cons

Overall Square9 has made an enormous positive impact on our organization and we are very happy with the decision to use their products.
Pros
The best part of Square9 is the visibility and fast access to documents, both in process and archived.
Cons
The worst part of Square9 is that we are not completely reliant on it for our Accounts Payable processing, so when the system stops working, our entire ability to move forward with processing and paying invoices is held up until it is fixed. Fixes for those urgent problems do not happen as quickly as we need them done.
