9 of the best document management software tools

In this post, we’re looking at nine of the best document management solutions.

1. Box

Box is one of the largest and most popular document management options. Because they are GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, GxP, and FedRAMP compliant, they’re a simple-to-use alternative for companies in heavily regulated industries. They also have powerful admin settings and the ability to create robust automated workflows using Box Relay.

Their standard plans range from $15 to $35 per user per month. Contact a sales representative for enterprise pricing.

2. Confluence

Confluence is part of Atlassian’s large suite of products. One of the significant advantages of using Confluence is that they’re a full-fledged intranet.

6. Bitrix24

Just like Samepage, Bitrix24 is one of the few document management software tools to offer a free version. They have all of the standard features along with much more, such as CRM and project and task management as well as the ability to build landing pages. They also support both cloud and on-premises access.

7. ShareFile

ShareFile is an excellent option for any finance, insurance, healthcare, and accounting company. Owned by Citrix, they offer bank-level data encryption and meet the strictest regulatory standards. They are fully HIPAA, HITECH, FINRA, and CFPB compliant. Their customers regularly store sensitive documents, including M&A details, clinical trials, and fundraising within their platform.

Their pricing ranges from $10 to $67.50 per month when billed annually.

8. Quip

What separates Quip from all of the other document management tools is that it’s designed to be used from within Salesforce. Customers can get all of the security and access of top document management platforms without having to log into another tool. This allows them to access, collaborate, and manage big projects within Salesforce. Many well-known companies, including Facebook, Amazon, Citi, and New Relic, use the software.

There are three plans available to choose from: a Quip Starter plan for $10, Quip Plus for $25 per month, and Quip Advanced for $100 per month.

9. WorkFront

Formerly known as AtTask, Workfront is document management software designed to help agencies, product development, and IT firms work smarter. It’s an all-in-one tool for secure team collaboration, project management, and document storage. You can quickly assign tasks, track deadlines, send secure, large files, and manage document approvals. They also support both agile and waterfall project management methodologies.

However, out of all of the tools we looked at, this was the only one that doesn’t have transparent pricing on their website.

As you can see, document management software goes well beyond secure file sharing and storage. These tools are designed to work with even the most regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare. When it comes to choosing the right option for your business, it boils down to the features you need and your budget.
