What to look for in document management software

The best document management software for you depends on how your business works, not only on where a product sits in the list. Before you shortlist the top-ranked options, check for:

  • Search that reads inside documents (full text, and OCR for scans), not just file names
  • Version control, check-in and check-out, and a clear audit trail
  • Permissions down to folder and file level, with external sharing you can revoke
  • Retention rules and legal holds, if you are regulated
  • Review and approval workflows, including e-signature
  • Integrations with email, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and your line-of-business apps

How to use this ranking

Start with the top 10, then narrow down with Best document management software by category further down the page, which ranks the same feature inside each kind of software. Read the reviews on each profile, and ask vendors to show you the points above with your own data before you decide.

Best document management software by category

The same feature, ranked inside each kind of software. 242 categories in all; these 40 have 5 or more products.

How is this list of the top document management software worked out?

TrustList ranks every product that offers document management, whichever software category it is filed under, by its rating, how many reviews it has and how complete its profile is. No one can pay for a position in this list. Where few products have reviews yet, profile completeness carries more weight, so treat the order as a shortlist to check rather than a verdict.

Is the top-ranked product the best document management software for everyone?

No. A small team, a growing business and a large enterprise need different things from document management software. Use the checklist above and the rankings by category to find the best fit, and give most weight to reviews from companies like yours.

How often does the ranking change?

The order is recalculated as new reviews arrive and vendors update their profiles, so the list you see is the current one.
