Pros: Its version control and audit trail features offer the level of traceability we need in the financial services sector. Collaboration across departments has also become more consistent since everything is accessible and updated in real time.
Cons: Some of the advanced configuration options require a bit more time to understand, especially when setting up new workflows. Once properly adjusted, however, the system remains stable and efficient.

Mercy M. · Processor · Education Management · April 8, 2025
Document Locator has been an outstanding document management system that has totally simplified how I organize, store, and locate my files! . I've been using the version control and workflow automation features to help streamline collaboration, reducing the risk of lost or outdated files.
Pros: Document Locator makes it super easy and intuitive to manage documents and offers helpful automating processes! My favorite features are the automated file versioning, and the search function works wonderfully so I can locate pretty much anything with ease!
Cons: No complaints, Document Locator is fantastic!

Simple and straightforward to use saving time in filing and locating information

Rachel B. · CEO · Business Supplies and Equipment · December 28, 2024
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.
Sylvia H. · Zoning Officer and Code Enforcement Officer · Government Administration · April 11, 2024
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.
Millie S. · Senior Operations Administrator · Civil Engineering · April 10, 2024
Pros: Document Locator is a versatile and user-friendly application, providing adaptive features for seamless document management. Its integration with Outlook simplifies email management, while offering convenient functions like PDF conversion and document preview. With a great API and easy administration, users require minimal training. The exceptional support promptly addresses queries, even the simplest ones. This product excels in staying up-to-date and ensures a smooth implementation, backed by fantastic customer and tech support.
Cons: Document Locator is a powerful software that requires extensive training, but the inability to link folders can be inconvenient. While telecommuting, it occasionally experiences slowdowns and glitches. Limited to Windows, the web version lacks features, eagerly awaiting the next update.
Alberto N. · sales support · Food & Beverages · June 26, 2023
Puede tener muchos beneficios, como aumentar la eficiencia y ahorrar espacio. Sin embargo, también puede tener algunos inconvenientes, como el costo y la necesidad de capacitación y mantenimiento.
Pros: Aumenta la eficiencia al ayudar a localizar rápidamente los documentos que necesitan, lo que ahorra tiempo y recursos mejorando la seguridad al permitir el control del acceso a documentos confidenciales o importantes.
Cons: Para implementarlo se requiere capacitación para aprender a usar el sistema, lo que puede requerir tiempo y recursos adicionales.
Miguel Angel C. · Diseño · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · May 2, 2023
Overall I like a product. It keeps documents organized and easy to access.
Pros: Having all the documents together makes the job very practical. When I need it, I don't think about which document is where, I don't waste time, I like to have all of them at hand.
Cons: Documents are slow to load, especially if they are large, it takes a lot of time.
Peter P. · General Manager · Wholesale · November 15, 2022
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.
Anonymous User · Manager · Education Management · October 13, 2022
I no longer feel dizzy while doing errands. Because everything is in its place. Simple and useful interface
Pros: I think they are very successful in workflow management. File sharing is also easy and reliable
Cons: Accessing the folders in the software can sometimes take time. It takes a lot of experience to gain experience
Eyüp Ö. · Industrial Engineer · Financial Services · April 19, 2022
Pros: We could customize the software to give us exactly what we needed. We have a complicated hierachy of supervision and the system allowed us the flexiblity tocontrol our document management as required.
Cons: It can only be used in a Windows environment. The web version is lacking features so we are looking forward to the next version.
Helena H. · Director · Financial Services · November 12, 2020
I’ve been administering my company’s Document Locator system for 8+ years. Never have I come up with a problem they couldn’t solve. I had 8 different document management systems in my company, and picked this over all the ones I already owned. Never regretted it even one day.
Pros: Not only does Document Locator works seamlessly inside windows, it has a great API and is very easy to administer. Users generally don’t require more than about 15 minutes of training. Support always answers questions within an hour or so, and the help cheerfully even with “dumb” questions.
Cons: Training is only offered a few times a year, and mostly in Oregon, though they will send an instructor onsite if you need.
Scott G. · Manager IT · Real Estate · December 5, 2019
Pros: This helped us flip into a paperless office (except for patient charts and promo). We can easily scan, filter documents, find reports, and more! Life-saver forsure.
Cons: When I'm telecommuting and using a remote control software for the computer the software sometimes runs slow or is glitchy.
Omarie P. · Marketing Specialist · February 12, 2019
Document Locator software works beautifully and seamlessly with Microsoft Office and Browsers while allowing us to configure specific rights per user to the most sensitive company information which often will requires remote access in the field under pressure situations .
Pros: We found Document Locator or DL as it is otherwise known to be consistently reliable offering the ability to to send links which can be controlled offering specific file access to users. DL additionally offers a nice system to organize files so once connected users can find those intended files. DL's customer service support is first rate offering timely and high quality support.
Cons: We are extremely pleased with Document locator however there were was an issue that we encountered. The supplied user interface was some what clumsy as key commands were less intuitive to locate and use. This is a common occurrence though with file acquisition programs.
Louis C. · Lead Purchase / Sales · Computer Software · December 27, 2018
Pros: The indexing or searching for files is really nice and fast.
Cons: Initial setup is a pain when creating workflows or repository setups and security.
Patrick R. · Information Systems · Medical Devices · December 5, 2018
Overall has been a great software that has improved our document control process and improved our internal efficiency
Pros: This software has many features that allow for organized and detailed document management. The search function in the software is incredibly powerful and even allows for searching for content in documents. Bulk uploads allowed for an easier transition when the software was implemented.
Cons: As the software is so powerful it requires a decent amount of training to become proficient. Also the inability to link to the folders in the software is inconvenient at times.
Danielle L. · Project Administrator · Oil & Energy · October 5, 2018
Pros: I like the ability to offer individuals the rights and permissions to do their job efficiently. The search capabilities are robust. I like to the flexibility that this product offers.
Cons: I would like to see more functionality added based on project management. As a recent grad of CMII practices, I would like to see some functionality added to this product based on the principles established in Configuration Management.
Debbie k. · Document Control Manager · April 2, 2018
The benefits allowed our organization to proceed to a paperless environment easily.
Pros: The Document Locator product stays up with technology and is simple to implement and utilize. Best of all their Customer and Tech support is fabulous.
Cons: Reporting is somewhat lacking but since the database has a SQL back end it gives the user the ability to create reports on their own.
Michele E. · Sr. System Analyst/Supervisor · Hospital & Health Care · March 29, 2018
Versioning and the ability to publish external links usable from other applications
Pros: Flexibility. Its easy to configure to suite almost any need we have. And the way it seamlessly integrates with the Windows environment is outstanding for our users
Cons: I really see no weaknesses to speak of. Every scenario that I have thrown at it it has easily handled. And the few items that I originally though of as downfalls where simply my lack of knowledge.
Keith C. · Senior Enterprise Application Architect · March 29, 2018
Very happy customers. Great pricing. Great support. Integration with forms tool (Perfect Forms). Integration with custom .NET software used to accelerate IT Architecture development. Integration with secure HR systems to manage employee hiring and on-boarding. Ease of use finding Engineering documents.
Pros: Document uses SQL Server as storage for documents instead of a file-share. This provides the ability to encrypt data while stored and retrieve on the desktop without un-encrypting. Thus making it very easy to use for handling sensitive HR and Finance records. Document Locator includes standard and custom workflows that include forms which are routed for approval in a variety of ways. As an engineering tool, Document Locator make SharePoint look like an old-fashioned file server with its ability to add meta-data to each document. Document Locator has a vibrant web interface but also includes access via the desktop app.
Cons: Not much. I have done many document management studies and Document Locator exceeds all the others for my list of requirements. Perhaps some of the icons used on the client could be modernized.
