NetDocuments is a cloud-based program, so it wins hands down on the remote access portion. You can open up NetDocuments from any device that has internet access and a web browser. NetDocuments is available via the Web, their mobile app, and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat. You can work remotely in the applications you already know. To access Worldox remotely, you need to use something like terminal services (Remote Desktop). That was great in 2002, not so great now.

NetDocuments is pure cloud, so it is already set up for multiple offices. You need to purchase Worldox Enterprise to run in multiple offices. That means buying multiple servers. NetDocuments triple replicates all its data; with Worldox Enterprise, you have a single point of failure.

Worldox is only as secure as your network is, so you are leaving it up to your IT Staff and your users. Here is the list of the Certifications you get when purchasing NetDocuments:

Worldox doesn’t work on a Mac. NetDocuments will work on a Mac. 

How easy is it for an employee that is about to quit to take a whole bunch of files with them? Worldox can be accessed via your Windows folder structure. Users can bypass Worldox and copy stuff to a flash drive. NetDocuments is set up up to alert you when documents are about to be copied out of the system, and there are no back doors.

How easy is it for something like the Cryptolocker virus to encrypt all your files and make them useless? This can happen with Worldox; it can’t happen with NetDocuments. 

In Worldox, you have to set up every single cabinet to be based on profile attributes. In NetDocuments, we can choose specific cabinets like "Client" to be profile-based and other like forms to be folder-based.

When comparing both products, people seem to think that NetDocuments has a more modern user interface. It looks better. It feels better. It makes sense.

Both have iPhone/iPad apps; only NetDocuments has an Android app. For Worldox’s app to work, you have to install Worldox Web, which requires you to install a web server. NetDocuments integrates directly with the Microsoft Office suite on mobile devices.

NetDocuments is completely transparent about its status. If there is a hiccup, they post it.

Worldox is only as good as your infrastructure. So, if you have a good IT person, you will probably have a good experience. However, you will never have the redundancy NetDocuments has. Worldox will have to go down when you update your servers and the software. 

NetDocuments continues to innovate, buying new companies, and adding new features. Worldox announces new features like encryption at rest (Wear), but they never come out.

When trying to come up with an accurate comparison, you need to factor in the following to run Worldox:

• The cost of the multiple servers
• The IT cost to maintain those servers
• The cost of backup software on those servers
• The cost of downtime if those servers go down
• The cost of supply remote access to the program

All these costs are built into NetDocuments. On software price alone, Worldox is less expensive, but this vanishes when you look at all the factors.
