CNET Editors' review
EDoc Organizer is a sleek and intuitive program that allows users to organize a variety of electronic documents. It doesn't have a ton of features, but it does have a few effective tools that make document organization a breeze.
The program's interface is well-designed and attractive, with its features separated into several pains and a handful of menus. Users simply import existing electronic documents or scan paper ones, and the program displays thumbnails of each one. Users can use color-coded labels to organize the documents; the program comes with labels for bills and the months of the year, but users can create their own custom labels as well. Documents can be sorted by age, and a search feature allows users to search their documents, although it appears only to search labels and document comments. Although the program does not have a Help file per se, the publisher's Web site does contain video tutorials. Overall, we found the program easy to use and potentially helpful, even if it is a little short on features. It's an effective way to organize electronic documents and is suitable for users with even basic computer skills. We can think of many potential uses for it, from organizing monthly bills (so many of which arrive electronically now anyway) to keeping receipts and important papers, and even keeping research sources organized.
EDoc Organizer is free. It installs desktop icons without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.

...
...
an ... the support after sale is GREAT!!!!! and quick!Cons
none found yet, I work with the program about 3 months now.
For some people maybe more languages in the future? Although, I doesn't bother me actually.Summary
In my 9+ months search to a nice program (DMS), I saw a lot of programs... but then I saw eDoc organizer. It was really amazing. It has all you need to make sure your desktop stays clean! I tried several other programs also, but none of them could convince me. Some of them were to difficult to set up or work with, other were to expensive (€1500+ !!). Edoc has it all! easy and nice to work with, affordable and a verrrrrrrrry good service afterwards!! I recommend eveyone to at least try this program. You'll see you will be pleased!!

"This is an excellent program"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
Friendly, easy to use, and convenient to organize all the professional and educational papers and documents that I produce. I really am also happy with the technical support that I have received. The tutorials worked well for me.
Cons
Like any software, this should need some improvement. Thus, I check from time to time for new versions.
Summary
Again, this is an excellent instrument to get organized. I would recommend it to those who have not much knowledge about computer applications, since it is easy to use.

"A simple yet comprehensive document management program."
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
The program is both as simple as you want and as advanced as you choose to make it.
Cons
It took me a few minutes to get comfortable with the file organization but is is windows standard with a little twist. This is not a problem with the program.
Summary
I installed this program and was up and running in short order. I had an initial problem with my scanner (my scanner software was installed wrong) and their email tech support had the problem fixed in a matter of minutes. Tech support is as great as any I have encountered.
I am scanning documents and building a pretty large database. The program is handling things without any problems. I own other competitors and this is the best on the market. -
"Great for home. Tags, OCRs and stores. I love it."
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
Uses document feeder, OCR is very accurate, let's me use tags and keywords of my choice.
Cons
Not a huge fan of dark color interface, stored PDF files use system generated names.
Summary
I've put almost 1,000 documents in E-Doc and couldn't do without it. I'm glad I got it instead of the Neat scanner & software. I can search for text like a Doctor's name or other text and it finds all documents containing that text. Well worth the $ to be rid of all paper filing. Don't forget to implement a good backup system if you use any document storage solution without paper backup.

"not convincing"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
looks nice
Cons
not suitable for professional work. Makes a copy for each document in a " document store" and needs lots of free space. Also it cannot batch import documents
Summary
really just for very basic work.

"Great software!"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
Faster than comparable products, easy to use, easy to learn, GREAT support!
Cons
None that I can think of!
Summary
Probably the best thing I can say, is this company goes above and beyond to support their product. Emails are answered within hours, to the point help and instructions, and even an offer to connect remotely so they could fix the problem if I couldn't. All at no extra cost! That just doesn't happen with most software companies these days. Download it and try it out!!

"Great Product, Great Support. Does everything you need"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
Having tried several other scanning programs, I found this one the best.
It has all the features you need including the ability to email and export direct from the program. The layout is good and easy to follow,Cons
The only thing that takes some time to get used to is the search facility.
Several filter and search options are available, but you have to learn to deselect some tick boxes you have used before the screen shows results. Once learnt its very good.Summary
Overall I love it, but its greatest asset is the support. Here is a company that returns emails promptly, they truly support the product.
Even when I contacted them mistakenly about a problem caused by a competitors product, they tried to help by providing me with that companies support details.
eDocs does everything I need it to do, so I cannot suggest further improvements, but I am sure the developers will. -
"It's an alright program"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.5.1
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
Is mainly for very basic use
-
"More powerful alternative"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.1.1
Pros
Very cheap
Cons
It is poor of features and not able to handle large amount of data. In general more a toy than a Document Management System.
Summary
I suggest you to try LogicalDOC - http://www.logicaldoc.com
This one is a real Document Management System, is cheap and its web interface can be used to share documents too. -
"Best and simplest program I have found to date!"
Version: eDoc Organizer 3.1.1
Pros
-unbelevably easy to use.
-amazingly simplistic interface.
-the best I have found.Cons
-still trying to find something I don't like?
-wish it could monitor specified folders for added files.Summary
This programs offers the perfect solution for anyone looking for a simple and straight forward image or document handling program. This program has by far the most intuitive and user friendly interface of any document or picture organizing software I've found. I use the software for organizing .pdf files at the office and photos at home. The software does not have any cumbersome customizing features, it does exactly what they designed it for and nothing more. The cataloging (label) feature is just awesome, I have my photos cataloged by year. All you do is check the year and the program will bring all my photos from that year into the preview window. Then I just simply view the resizable thumbnails, select the photo and view it, print it, edit it with photoshop or email it....all from this software. I also like the fact that the software does not disturb the orginal file.
