eFileCabinet At A Glance

Good: Offers on-premise and cloud options, giving customers the flexibility to choose the best plan for their business.
Bad: Integration with Outlook isn't seamless.
Bottom Line: A complete DMS suite that mimics a filing cabinet to capture, store and share data easily and securely.

Product Overview

eFileCabinet offers scalable document management software (DMS) solutions: eFileCabinet Desktop, eFileCabinet Online and SecureDrawer. However, this review will focus on its new platform, Rubex.

Rubex is a cloud-based DMS that combines advanced OCR and automation tools for digital filing and secure file sharing. It helps businesses go paperless as well as eliminates redundant tasks such as manual data entry.

Using templates for standard forms, new documents uploaded to Rubex are automatically named and filed in the correct folder based on the document’s content. The system even creates new folder structures as new types of documents are uploaded. Workflow tools allow users to further automate their document management process.

Rubex also provides secure file-sharing that allows users to easily send encrypted documents to anyone. A request feature also allows them to send document requests to anyone that can upload them through an encrypted channel.

Features

eFileCabinet’s system uses OCR templates to recognize any type of document so when users can scan or upload it, the system automatically names it and files it. Users can retrieve it instantly using keywords contained in the document.

Rubex uses advanced OCR and workflow tools that keep files moving through the organization and files them in a system that’s built around how the business operates.

Several features of Rubex include:

  • Intuitive interface that keeps the user’s documents at the forefront with easy to navigate windows for browsing folders and searching for files
  • Automated workflows, so users don’t need to wait for approvals or signatures
  • Role-based permissions (setting access permissions, such as download, write or read, on specific documents or a group of documents)
  • Ability to share files securely with anyone (external users can download shared documents through a secure, branded portal)
  • Ability to request files from anyone by specifying the location the files should be uploaded to
  • Portfolios (users can keep their most important and/or frequently used documents in a portfolio so they’re a few clicks away)
  • Advanced version control
  • Customized branding (logo, company colors, company URLs/subdomains)
