Keep NetDocuments, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace NetDocuments you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Documents and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. NetDocuments’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
