I'm new to dms systems. Looking for somethething intuitive and very user friendly. I see you Guys had a top 2, but I've got a top 3: Alfresco, KT and LogicalDOC. I like LogicalDOC because it is easy 2 use. Yet seeing this discussion makes me wonder if LogicalDOC is really my best choice. Can someone give some information about the performance of LogicalDOC in comparison of Alfresco and KT?

They haven't been supporting the OSS version as well. I've been thinking about changing. I'm not really happy with SAAS for business documentation – amongst other things our local tax authority released a newsletter indicating that use offshore services needed to be done is such a way that local tax laws where not broken.

O3spaces or Alfresco are the options I'm considering at the moment.

Personally I think it would be nice if someone wrote a git based decentralised system. Distributed workspaces, VDI and mobile computing would make something like this useful.

I have used both…KT is having some issues lately, some of the things isn't working all the time. Here is online Alfresco DMS http://www.organizeddocs.com, it's a bit different than original Alfresco, but I think they are going into right direction.

Hi,
Did you ever try to use OpenKM with MySql?

One problem with alfresco is that it consumes orders of magnitudes more resources than ktree. My alfresco installation is using like 500MB when not in use! ktree uses almost nothing (httpd used 4mb) in the same circumstances.
Of course, memory is cheap these days, so this is maybe a minor concern for most.
For me it wasn't.

Nice Artikel, thanks you!

I will start to test them, but i think the choice would be KT cause i more like php, and for a newbie its easier. They also have a bigger Community.

The article is a couple years old now and I should do an update. I've found O3Spaces another good DMS to consider.

Very informative article..But you missed another good DMS – OpenKM. I have been researching various DMS for a few weeks and I found these three to be the best ones. It all boils down from here to which one serves your particular needs best.

O3Spaces is another worth looking at now.
