Assai uniquely blends process with the technology, no need for customisation to vanilla enterprise solutions. The integrations allow documentation to be managed dynamically without altering the underlying Enetprise system. This halfed the effort we were spending on maintaining two systems overnight. When compared to Enterprise Vendors the support offering is on a different level, the CEO visits your site regularly. In my experience none of the competition come close to providing the same opportunity to build a relationship with and influence those people who control the evolution of the critical systems which we utilise daily. Documentation supporting Assai is extensive and very well detailed to cover every aspect of their offering, including otherwise tricky deliverables like UAT. The content is clear and can be understood by all levels, it saves a huge amount of support time and internal effort during Projects. To sum it up, I found Assai to be an off the shelf Document Control tool where the processes are already part of the system itself. The system is reliable, support always reactive and of course effective. > > **Cons**: The old AssaiADMIN interface, but this has been completely rewritten and designed in the present generation. It's actually an example of Assai listening to their customers and thereafter rebuilding a better interface, which saved money on Oracle Forms licences. We as customers paid nothing other than our support and maintenance, but instead saved on licences as well as benefitting from a simpler interface. > > We primarily moved the Document Control work outside of our perimeter. Reduced our manpower by 80% and doubled throughput in terms of deliverables. Assai gave us the opportunity to unify our systems through their connecter, saving time maintaining two systems and removing the inherent risk of data mismatches. We moved from a manual distribution of deliverables for comment to semi-automated and finally onto automated, this was all enabled and managed by the Assai product enabling a step change in the way we handle documentation pertaining to our Assets. ----- ### "Automation is key, document controller control the process" — 5.0/5 > **Rene** | *18 March 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The way everything is logged into the DMS. Specially since connect: the logical way of finding documents for normal users. From a document control perspective, uploading for external suppliers of documents and automated start of reviews... Also the tag register > > **Cons**: There are a few points that should be considdered before Assai can state that it is fully functional for an Operate phase of a plant. One of thos is that a document revision that is not yet approved should not be viewable for all. > > Great, recommend it to most new clients, depending on their needs ofcourse. But even for smaller projects this will be a game-changer. To actually now where all documents have been sent to and in which revision is a must ----- ### "Assai - Great Tool with some Limitations" — 4.0/5 > **Michele** | *23 August 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having used Assai on and off for 10 years, I can see how much the product has developed by listening to clients needs. From a predominantly Projects based doc control system to a multi-functional information management system. I like the option to automate most activities, red line mark up tool, concurrent engineering and AssaiPortal > > **Cons**: Integration with our current business processes and system migration did prove challenging due to the limitations of Assai. That being said, we need to make full use of the functionality Assai has offered us in order to improve our processes. Assai is not the best for handling legacy documentation, we had to implement workarounds in order for our existing data to fit the tool. IT support also needs improved, they are not as knowledgeable about the product as one would expect. > > The onboarding, training and migration process was excellent. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is an asset to the company and I doubt we would have had a successful migration without him ----- ### "Assai in Texas" — 5.0/5 > **Rick** | *5 February 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using Assai for several years, and it has consistently proven to be a reliable, fit‑for‑purpose solution for all of our document management needs. We recently expanded our Assai suite by implementing Assai Onsite, and the installation and configuration process was seamless. The Assai professional who handled the implementation was thorough, knowledgeable, and highly professional. > > **Cons**: Assai fits all of our needs. We have no complaints at this point. When we do have an issue we are able to reach out directly to the right personnel to help. > > Assai’s customer service is superb—there are many resources available, and support requests are handled with a quick turnaround time. Together, the product reliability and outstanding support make Assai a solution we trust and value. ----- ### "AssaiDCMS" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *8 June 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When used as designed, it's a powerhouse, but you won't realize it until you really need it. If you have projects that are lengthy, 5+ years, there is no better product to give a full perspective on project details. It will build a historical representation that will connect correspondence, with drawings, and support documents in a hierarchical tree that just steps you from start to finish. It will be invaluable after a staffing changes, becuase the new person will get the picture from day one. The searches are effortless and with the Oracle database under the hood, it's rocket sled fast. > > **Cons**: This is the biggest drawback of the product, the customer. To get the biggest bang for your buck, the customer has to be committed to solid document controller training, user compliance and self audits. You have to look at the product as insurance policy as much as a document control product. When you get into a legal pickle, this product will pay for itself right out of the gate. From a project risk management perspective, it's got you covered. You may have to remind yourself of that once in a while. > > Our projects are very long in duration, 5+ years easily and we've been using Assai DCMS since 2012. The product's user interface has come along way from when it was first installed but the data and it's management have been rock solid through every upgrade. Our business relationship has been good and they are customer focused. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/267340/assaidcms?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/267340/assaidcms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
