Overall it has been very positive. When I have had issues, support has been quick to fix. They have been open and responsive to product suggestions, and I feel as a customer that they value and appreciate us.

Pros

I ended up switching to FileCenter from Neat Software as Neat was getting too expensive and I found it very slow to log receipts/etc.

I like that File Center keeps the files and receipts on your computer (easy to sync between different devices using Google Drive or other Cloud Services). You can set up your boxes and drawers however you want. I also like that DMS, Receipts, & Automate are all in the same software and in the preferences you can "hide" the ones you don't have - that way all my files and workflow can be accessed via FileCenter.

It is easy to navigate files and folders, and I love the folder templates. Building reports and inputting receipts is a lot faster in FileCenter than it is in Neat Software, and I was able to file my taxes a lot faster!

Support has largely been fast and helpful. This is a smaller company than Neat, so sometimes interaction with the team in their community groups takes awhile to hear from, but one gets the sense that they really are interested in what their customers want and need.

Cons

There is a delay in switching between receipt boxes/drawers as you wait for it to load. Once you are in it is fast - but it would be nice if the load time is a bit faster. This might be because I am using a Cloud Drive as the source for my files.

There are also a few bugs (persistent settings preferences that don't save) that we have been waiting for awhile to be fixed - however the software updates themselves come regularly.

File Center Keeps Documents in One Place

Reviewed on 2024-07-15

Pros

I like FileCenter because I can easily locate all of my files. Most of the time when I save a file on my computer, I have a difficult time locating it, but with this software, I can find it quickly.

Cons

The thing I didn't like about FileCenter is that it was a free trial and I had to buy it. I wish it was just free.

Response from Lucion Technologies

Deloris,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on FileCenter! We're thrilled to hear that you're finding it helpful for organizing and locating your files easily. Our goal is to make file management as simple and efficient as possible, so it's great to know the software is working well for you.

We understand that the transition from a free trial to a paid version can be a bit of a letdown. The trial is designed to give users a full experience of what FileCenter has to offer before making a purchase decision. The licensing fees help us continue to provide updates, new features, and the support that ensures FileCenter remains a valuable tool for our users.

We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy using FileCenter. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, or if there's anything else you'd like to share, we'd love to hear from you!

FileCenter Continually Freezes, No Tech Support

I started using FileCenter in 2013 and have renewed the license every year since. However, this year (2024), their program stopped working entirely. It continually freezes and does not respond to any commands. The program cannot be closed from within the program window (the "x"), and has to be forcibly shut down via the Task Manager. While it's frozen, the Task Manager flashes red for file manager, indicating that it is using 20% of the CPU resources. No other program on the program is malfunctioning. FileCenter tech support is worthless and insists it's not their program but my computer that's the problem. Wrong. the old Windows File Explorer does not freeze, nor does any other program. FileCenter is a lemon program. Don't waste your money.

Pros

Helpful in quickly moving, renaming, working with multiple files.

Cons

The program started to continually freeze and had to be forcibly shut down from Task Manager. It is completely non-responsive.

Response from Lucion Technologies

Paul,

Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal FileCenter user since 2013. I’m truly sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been experiencing. It sounds frustrating, and I want to make sure we address this properly.

I noticed that during your last support session, you mentioned using Kaspersky Anti-Virus, which we know can sometimes interfere with our software and others. After that session, you mentioned that the issue seemed to improve, so I'm sorry to hear it's persisting.

We’re committed to getting this resolved for you. If you're open to it, we'd love to investigate further and help find a solution. Please feel free to reach out directly.

Best regards.

Customer service has always been excellent.

It is one of the pieces of software that I have recommended to many other small business owners.

Pros

I've used this steadily for over 10 years now and find it indispensable in getting rid of old paperwork. The fact that it uses it's own interface which also works with the windows file system is the main reason I bought it. Getting tied into proprietary software filing systems if I later switched to something else was not something that was acceptable.

It is simple to set up and use, works like a charm, and is constantly being improved. The yearly upgrade price (around $40 for my version) is very fair and allows them to stay in business.

Since the initial backers were from the legal profession, there are a lot of features designed for that market but they do not detract from my using it at all.

It works like a charm with my Epson ES-500W scanner.

Cons

I know this is being picky but some years ago they took out the button that would quickly do a two page scan. I really liked that feature.

Now that I have seen their Receipts software, I would love it if they could integrate some of it's features so I could use scanned names, invoice dates, etc for naming files. This is not a con but it would be nice.
