Alfresco Process Services Reviews

Java based and full featured, a great process management services ever been used for a long time.

Community support needs to be more active.

Learn to use it and it could help you for develop a better BPM system

Our self developed products using Alfresco Process Services as Bisness process management tool. It easy to develop with and easy to deploy.

I like it's an online database where you can upload new versions.

Adding users could be easier and adda forgot password link.

We are using it as a online database library for documents.

The user interface was intuitive and simple to use. I was also happy with the ease of deployment across our team. Even though we have a small team we had some complex use cases that were able to be resolved.

Documentation could have been more aligned to some of our custom use cases. We were able to find what we needed eventually but would prefer it had been better organized.

We are using Alfresco Process Services for document management. We have years of project documents that needed to be tagged and organized correctly. Now our firm IP is much more accessible and we do not have to re-invent the wheel with each new client.

Great Java based process management services, allows for visual workflows design for all kins of setups with easy to use, drag and drop based functionality and online backup

UI needs significant improvement, a lot of the features are not intuitive, nor is the self service portal very exhanustive and well articlulated. Users might feel confused regarding some features

Please consider the workflows use cases/ divisions that can leverage and create your purchase requisition accordingly.

Designing and executing business process workflows related to our business across different lines and departments so that collaboration + communication overhead is reduced

I think this product works best for small business or those that are just getting their feet wet with Content Services and record management software. It works well with Unix-like operating systems, and Windows. I have not tried this on Mac. You are also able to control who has access to files via a pretty robust role and permission filing sharing system so only those that truly need to see a document can have access and you are able to maintain confidentiality of sensitive infromation. The customer service representatives were really friendly and we felt supported throughout the decision making process and like we were making the right decision for our organization. This was important as we didn't want to have buy a software that may not work and then later had to switch platforms agains and slow down business.

The UX of Alfresco Systems is pretty basic. The UX is also not as customizable as one would expect and feels more like a product that would have been "state of the art" in 2005 but feels slightly out of date for 2022. I wouldn't recommend this as a "front end" customer service tool but rather something that should be used on the back end by internal and operational teams. Alfresco Process Services is not able to generate public facing URLs which makes it difficult to collaborate and share information with external partners. I don't see a lot of Research adn dEvelopment going into this tool in the future which is unfortunate because I think it's one of those situations "what you buy is what you get" and don't expect the product to release major updates in the future but of course I could be very wrong about this.

I would recommend this product for those looking to share files internally with other teams but not for those looking to share with those outside of their organization or via a public domain. If you are looking for a organization wide document sharing software this platofrom will likely solve your needs as a budget friendly approach. Make sure you have an IT software team in place that can help with integration and supporting early adopters and users alike with the use of this tool.

The problems my organization is solving with Alfresco Process Services include storing files with metadata and able to access previous versions of files with ease. We also used Alfresco Process Services to document workflows and share it amongst cross functional business partners. The workflow is adaptable for both small and more complex work flows making Alfresco Process Services a scalable solution. Because we are a high education institution we found that Alfresco Process Services integrates really well with software learning platform such as moodle.

Great visual editor to manage our complex workflows in our app.

Not immediately self-evident UI and needs a bit of time to get used to creating the workflows.

Orchestrating our complex workflows.

I very much appreciate the fact that it's considerably cheaper than Microsoft Sharepoint. I also enjoy the ability that you are able to access the cntent outside the web as well as the collaborative web content. The integration across various tools and applications such as Moodle and the platform integrates well with that and while the UI is aethestically unpleasant it is easy to navigate. The cutstom APIs are also helpful which to customize. The auditing feauture is also really helpfu and the plaform is overall able to handle a large number of documents through the system which helps our team a lot especially since it doesn't take up a lot of server capacity.The 24/7 customer service options are helpful althought we haven't had the need to use it.The live on demnad training courses and webinars are tailored to vairiety of users as developers and end users. We haven't expereinced any buges in the software.

The interface of the platform is not user-friendly and has archaic features that are difficult to navigate. The platform doesn't have the ability to easily integrate with social networking platforms. Documentation can be challenging because as there are multiple updates to the platform (albeit a very good thing) they often don't come with the updated documentation is a timely manner. The sharper learning curve could make it difficult for those individuals within the organization that are not receptive to change or technologically savy.

Enterprise Content Management that can be stored in the cloud. This has helped our organization become more organized and in line with data and security protocols.

Ability to visually map out workflows and the drag and drop feature

Debugging multiple calls in a rest task is not helpful enough. It only tells you the failure of the rest task itself not the individual calls the task is making

Consider if Alfresco is right for you if concurrency is a priority

Initiating, tracking and monitoring hundreds or thousands of workflow instances at once.

it can include angular material design in the framework of application development which provides a great look and feel in the application, this allows to design user interfaces and an excellent and modern UI / UX for users, Overall the product is good, once you get some expertise around it. It isn't as mature as other products in its category, but does the basic things well and alows for expanded capabilities with some build.

To implement correctly, it is necessary to choose the right provider who is an alfresco expert. It also requires a lot of hardware resources, which requires a large capacity server.

very important at the time of hiring this service is to review in the Alfresco White Paper here is exposed how to choose the most suitable provider for the implementation of this system. This is very important because the implementation of this system is the key to get a good performance of this service, also to be done in java also gives place to customize and develop new functions, which is very good since it can be adapt to any type of business business

in the ECM solution we have been able to have excellent business management when sharing digital content, even outside the limits of the company in real time we have been able to collaborate and perform much more when preparing and sharing digital documents. Bring in Activiti/Alfresco experts to help train the workforce. Know your use cases prior to briging in a tool. If the use cases are rather simple, standard re-usable workflows are to be created. Don't create a unique case for each one.

It makes it easy to share drawings in one place for all the different facilities around the world

It has 3 boxes for searching, it would be better has two since the first and third box are identical except you check the first one to get the newest and you use their KCID to search. The first and third box could easily be combined.

We use it to load drawings so that everyone has access to them. For my group it allows to access drawings so we can load BOMs
