I loved that I was able to efficiently organize years of documents and then retrace back to them and easily locate the documents i need.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The field for customizing mail numbering scheme can only accommodate 8 characters. I hope they'd make it at least 20. Reports insight is also a bit lacking. The process of combining mail treads and starting sub-workflow from WF parallel steps needs improvement.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We're able to manage Technical Query and Request for Information effectively and provide a fast response.
Are you a current user of this product?
Yes
What are the best aspects of this product?
The platform is very versatile and can be used not only for managing projects but also for communicating with the team and the clients. We are using this solution to create RFP and send them ours to companies as well as to track communication at work. All communications regarding the project remain in one location so accessing them for reference has become easier. Also, I like the ability to create different groups and include different individuals.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The platform is not designed for newbies in the industry. So if you don't have any background in the field or experience using other similar solutions, you may find it hard to navigate the system. But for those who have already tried using the system, you'll find the system very easy to use. Another issue: the "back" button does not work.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
The platform is very effective and helpful in communicating with subcontractors and inviting them to bid. It can also track when the letter has been sent and opened. Subcontractors, on the other hand, can easily upload their bids. We are also able to easily give them access to the necessary documents. On top of that, we are able to transmit every official communication for security purposes.

What are the best aspects of this product?
Storing, accessing, and managing project-related documents has become easier. You only need to drag and drop the files you want to upload into the system. I really like this functionality because it makes it possible and easier to upload multiple documents in one shot. Also, the platform makes it easier to manage even a huge team.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
There’s no way to restrict users, modify the status of documents, include or make our own user-defined statuses and more. Because of the regulatory restrictions, administrators are not able to get full control of the project and the system. Aside from that, the platform pricing scheme is quite higher than other team collaboration and document management software.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We are now able to access all information, documents and even the conversation of the entire team anytime we need to. It has been a problem before especially when one member of the team chooses to leave. We often had a hard time retrieving or tracking documents as well as their important conversation about the project. Oracle Aconex has helped us overcome the challenges. Also, the team is now able to modify and manage documents faster than before.
