The consultants are extremely helpful. ----- ### "Perfect Version Control Software for Assets" — 5.0/5 > **Bhushan** | *20 November 2025* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Meridian provides a comprehensive solution for Electronic Document Management due to which engineering teams keep current with the latest versions of their engineering documents and drawings. It maintains the correct relationship between the documents and accurate technical information. It provides document version control to prevent users from working on incorrect versions. > > **Cons**: User/ Security management needs to be more robust and foolproof. It needs to venture for other web servers to provide more seamless access to users over the web. > > Merdian EDM Application is great version control application, especially for CAD drawings. It maintains correct information of versions of the documents, and it is also accessible easily. ----- ### "Meridian possible improvements" — 3.0/5 > **Robert** | *10 March 2026* | Package/Freight Delivery | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Trackability of action and the customisation of the interface. The direct integration with application such as Autodesk, Bentley and Windows. Control of existing information Multiple customised workflows for different document types. > > **Cons**: Meridian Power Web user interface is dated. The errors logs for Power web packages sent to portal are not descriptive enough so we dont know the issue. Bulk number creation is difficult and time consuming, PowerWeb should have a a bulk built in table to create numbers. PowerWeb should have a multi document upload capability matching drawing numbers for bulk upload. External project collaboration is difficult with multiple contractors, we need a CDE type enviroment, also the contractor should be able to search our master library for existing documents and create a RFI via the portal. We seem to have issues where the system is working then suddenly stop working, so the system seems very sensitive to changes, needs to be more satable. Meridian Cloud packages keep giving us issues where they are not released to customers > > Overall is good, but we need a more modern interface and stability in the system. The potential is good btu users complain about how to use the system, so the interface needs to improve. ----- ### "Meridian review 2026" — 4.0/5 > **Steve** | *4 March 2026* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its versatility to be configure and integration with different software. It make it a powerfull tool to be use offline and remotely. > > **Cons**: The time it takes to solve issues with software. Not having a direct contact with Accurent make the resolution of the case tedious and the time to resolve case too long. > > Good so far. I misse the legacy Accruent Academy site which was more formal and better tailor to follow attendee's training evolution. I like also the new Accruent Custom Center which is easier to access and with short videos, it makes it a better solution to find an answer quick when you have questions. ----- ### "Meridian Cloud 5\*" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *2 March 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Meridian sets the bar for drawing management. The workflows between as-builts and projects are perfect for our company needs. Being able to search for keywords in CAD files is a huge time saver. > > **Cons**: Only thing I would find more useful is more customization on the depth of folders in default view. We have custom views to meet the need currently, but not everyone remembers to change the view each time they login. > > We've been Meridian users for 20+ years now, even using TeamWork before Meridian. It consistently meets our company needs and the additional features brought with Meridian Cloud have only made our user experience better. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/439124/meridian?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/439124/meridian) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
