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.

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.

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.

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.

Overall it is a time saver, I think it has the potential to streamline our business even further if I could get time to go through the various educational courses that are offered.
Pros
When it is setup, it just works and without any issues or problems. It does a good job of connecting multiple scanned documents to a single output file following defined naming rules. This is our main use of it at the moment, though there are lots of additional functions and processes I would like to implement. It is a new application for me and was setup before I started, so I have a bit to learn before I can add things.
Cons
I have found the connection to the server to be very slow and unresponsive at times. I have not been able to trace the source of the lag. There have been times the screen is unresponsive, but not clearly because the application has locked up either.
