I find NetDocs a bit hard to navigate. Searching is not that easy and results can vary. There has been some minor lagging issues but nothing of great concern. Overall it seems to work fairly well for document storage.

FileVine works well as a complete practice management…Read more

Our office is still on a hybrid schedule so I am hoping to have all staff in office that day.

Would be interesting to see what others are doing and what gifts they are giving.

We are wondering if any firm is using NetDocs as their Data Management system? Are you experiencing significant indexing lags and delays for your documents to register into NetDocs after scanning/saving like we are – e.g. mins, hours, even days??

Please let us know what region you are in as well – Vancouver, BC for…Read more
