PowerDMS

Pros: organization & accessibility of policy, procedures. the grouping of previous versions will help researching info.

Cons: the option of sending or attaching multiple documents in one workflow to be signed off for approvals.

Pros: It’s early to understand and able to run easily. We are able to rag and link archive policies to existing policy.

Cons: Would love to be able to compare all current and previously policies at a glance. Want to be able add power recall included with power policy.

Pros: It is organized with the knowledge of policy management and accreditation. Company tries to think of how to make things easier/stremlined.

Cons: It is not one size fits all… some solutions sound better on paper but variable of agencies are not accounted for.

Pros: Ease of use of the product. The application is simple to use and there are no issues with the application not working or being off line.

Cons: There were a few areas the platform was lacking for our age y needs; however, the ability to schedule a “one on one” with the managers was an excellent idea and very helpful.

Pros: Ease of use with the system. I also like the reminders for items needing to be completed. There are email reminders to keep the user on task.

Cons: Searching for items can be problematic without close verbiage. I have to refine the searches to find the policy I am looking for.

Pros: Ease of use of power policy. great customer service. Allowed our organization to be able organized and have the ability for document storage of our files

Cons: we love all the our abilities to create distribute, track our documents in this document management system

Pros: Things are streamlined to make things easy to operate. The search function in most of the products help to point you in the right direction. The workflows can be robust, depending on your needs. Our transfer to Power Policy has seen a dramatic change in our ability to track, update, and launches.

Cons: I wish there was a feedback or customer request module that would provide consistent feedback to feature requests, bugs, and future development.

Pros: The intuitive nature of the overall platform makes the learning curve relatively smooth for those that are self driven. Transparency is accomplished in many ways that aids in a culture that inherently does not trust government.

Cons: The training sessions at the conference did not fully align with the title, nor did the content fully cover the material. This product is so powerful and intuitive but it sadness me how many users fully understand or utilize it. That is a product flaw that I'm happy to discuss in depth and provide perspective from an end user.

Pros: The training was good and we've had good luck calling the support line. We are able to get the answers we need or have our request escalated

Cons: 1. I need permissions to be more granular 2. I need additional Fields in the user setup screen. Job title and location are not enough

Pros: Everywhere that it is going into the future. Integrating AI into all aspects. Begin able to ask questions about what our policies say and the system citing our policies.

Cons: Highlighting for accreditation. But that is already going to be going away so that is a win for me!!

Pros: Great for policy management. Creation, review, edits, and signatures. That process is simple and easy to follow.

Cons: Analytics as it regards to exports. The way every report has the same title is not helpful for the occasions where I need it.

Pros: Reliable software. Have never had it not work for me. I am a daily user and appreciate that I know it is going to work when I need it to

Cons: Sometimes hard to find information. Now that I'm more experienced in using the software, I don't have many issues, but when first learning, it was hard to find things.

Pros: Somewhat easy to use. Has mist if the tabs that we need. Easy enough for the officers to use at times.

Cons: Scheduling components. Some options can be a tad confusing when adding in overtime and managing time off.

Pros: PowerDMS is user friendly from Admin to end user. The visual of PowerDMS is appealing and all edits are so easy to find and implement.

Cons: Bulk uploads are not available at this time. As a healthcare system with multiple disciplines we have lots of documents that need uploaded so bulk uploads would be a game changer.

Pros: Organization and tracking employees progress, policies at staff finger tips. Like the test and tracking credentials

Cons: Difficulty setting up multiple departments with different directors, making sure all the security are set.

Pros: Ease of use for accreditation process and bringing lexipol integration via the hub site has helped wonders.

Cons: Getting the team to adjust to using a new product platform. They have a million reasons for hating change.

Pros: The ability to compare and contrast updated publications from older versions. Archival of previous training and courses.

Cons: Scheduling and planning training events in the courses. The processes are not user friendly and very labor intensive.

Pros: The ease of linking documents and courses in the assessment modules. Before it was all paper and highlighters.

Cons: Sometimes it is not very user friendly when creating courses. It can be challenging for new admins to figure out.

Pros: Ease of use product has had some good updates. I like the one login, it makes going from program to program more easily.

Cons: I do not like the workflow. How it does not notify you if someone does not approve it. It would be nice if others could be notified.

Pros: It very user friendly. Easy to navigate. Like the capability of being able to edit things. I like the archive feature and having unlimited space.

Cons: Not enough notification on bugs that are getting fixed. Also takes too long to fix bugs. Lack of communications on updates and fixes.

Pros: I like PoiwerDMS University and customer support. Any time I have called about an issue the representative is always helpful and attentive.

Cons: Some things aren’t very intuitive and difficult to figure out. With that being said customer support is always helpful.

Pros: Convenient and user friendly. Useful for storage of documents and policies. Also useful for workflows.

Cons: Change or update a policy you still need to sign that you read it. Should have a selection to sign off on it as well when publishing.

Pros: Centralized management of policy revisions. Tracked changes and ability to workflow. Maintaining archive of past policies.

Cons: Groups and security is kind of cumbersome. Have some history that can be confusing when new users are added.
