It is a fantastic scripting tool for document generation. I've also prepared some documents in WordPerfect and it seems entirely capable with that as well. > > **Cons**: Hands down, the data entry interview is crude at best. It is probably ok for a developer who has never worked with another UI, but the "automation" it provides comes at a steep price - loss of control. If you want truly professional user interfaces, you'll have to write the front-end in some other language, write an "answer file" HotDocs can understand (which is not hard, it is very basic XML) and then let HotDocs work its magic to assemble the language in Word. When used that way, HotDocs is very powerful and flexible. When used in its native UI, it is fairly inflexible. > > Document automation saves time and reduces errors. I've found HotDocs to be extremely reliable, stable, and bug-free. ----- ### "One stop Document process automation" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 November 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is highly customisable according to needs. Have been working on esignature, qr code development, image processing and many more along with document template development and generation > > **Cons**: The features are wonderful but the application license is little too expensive compared to other application in the market. Recent author has some issues and need improvements compare to classic version > > It is very good application for template management and automation compared to any other tool available in market. Excellent features and deep computation level ----- ### "Gets the job done, quite overpriced, and does about 80% of what it should" — 3.0/5 > **Jay** | *22 June 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Saves time, and is very commonly used (and therefore understood) outside of our office. > > **Cons**: Very expensive, and requires re-entry of data already entered far too often. The actual coding in documents is surprisingly opaque, and converting existing document structures to a HotDocs format is exceptionally cumbersome. The existing form sets that are on top of HotDocs are useful, and the community is broad, but the quality is hit or miss. > > Gets the job done, and is ultimately worth it if your time is very valuable. Very expensive, and clearly only going to get more so. The document sets available are decent, but not amazing. ----- ### "Great software, but beware of new owner's year-to-year subscription pricing." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2018* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used HotDocs in my law practice for more than 10 years. Love it. Very powerful. The more time you invest using it, the more you'll appreciate its many features and the better your templates will become. > > **Cons**: My only warning concerns the new year-to-year subscription pricing requirement. How does that make sense for this kind of software? The software becomes helpful only after you make your own serious upfront investment of time to build HotDocs "templates". Without that investment, HotDocs will do nothing for you. Don't make such an investment without considering that, in future years, you'll have no guarantee that you'll be able to renew your HotDocs substription on a basis that makes sense. And without yearly renewals, you'll forfeit your own upfront investment of time in templates. But for the pricing scheme adopted by HotDoc's new owner, AbacusNext, I'd give HotDocs an overall rating of 5 out of 5. However, as it stands now, I suggest you look at other software. Perhaps XpressDox. Or, for less ambitious automation projects, consider TheFormTool or Pathagorus. ----- ### "Straight through Document automation" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 January 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to deploy templates and use the same to generate legal documents in big numbers within very short time. High end computational features available for development of various business logic and requirements. Easy navigation from one part of code to other > > **Cons**: Sometimes development testing accepts coding which user encounters as errors on enterprise once deployed. Also recently developed author has many restrictions and lack features which are often used in developer > > Very good application of overall end to end document management to generate, store and integrtes for esign ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/136384/hotdocs?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/136384/hotdocs) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
