Users can build the structure around how normally paper documents are organized. This results in an infinite filing cabinet, where the documents are where they're supposed to be, and archiving/retrieving them is simple. Reorganising documents is easy with the intuitive 'Drag and Drop' functionality, and setting up users with different access permissions is straight forward. Papercoud is a visually orientated software so it's great for businesses working in a 'paper-heavy' industry, or businesses that have a 'compliance' requirement. The system enables Users to benefit from variation control for Microsoft applications - so colleagues can collaborate on documents. The Portal functionality also enables restricted access to end user clients should employees want to share specific content with them. Used by some of the biggest names in finance, insurance and property - the overall feedback from users is that they like the system because it doesn't over-complicate the administration process and it's easy to use. > > Verdict: Rated **4.2/5** by 104 users.

Being web-based with the ability to use SSO makes my life as an IT admin far easier and the transition was pretty seamless with help from the Watermark support team. > > **Cons**: Access management could be improved. Having to created new access groups if you only need to change one aspect of it can be frustrating. ----- ### "Good DMS product" — 4.0/5 > **Terri** | *22 September 2023* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Like the scrolling through function as if you are reading a paper file. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the speed is affected, but that could be internet connection. ----- ### "Reece - LBFP" — 3.0/5 > **Reece** | *21 September 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to get used to after coming over from Volume, due to many similarities. > > **Cons**: The search feature - needs some work. Hard to locate files and can only search for first person on file, not second. > > Overall, Papercloud is easy to use and works well for it's intended use. Never had any major issues. ----- ### "Papercloud is the future" — 4.0/5 > **Emma Elizabeth** | *7 June 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and the way it is laid out make it simple and easy to locate documents within files while keeping it clear and not cluttered > > **Cons**: The search function could do with a little work look s a bit dated also the front page is a bit drab and not very helpful > > I have enjoyed the change to Papercloud and the support has been great aswell as the user guides. Have recommended it to other in business or shared my own experience ----- ### "Ease of use - Papercloud" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *5 May 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I require flexibility with my data storage and Papercloud allows me to be very flexible and is really easy to use. Compared to another system I had bundled with my practice software it is absolutely brilliant. I love it. > > **Cons**: There is very little I can add to this section as I don't have any real 'Cons' > > Very good experience, I left Papercoud for a while whilst I went with a bundled 'free' offering from SmartVault. I have now stopped using SmartVault and returned to Papercloud. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/402967/papercloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/402967/papercloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
