Document management software supports the storage and handling of documents, with different options for managing access, records and revisions. Compared on access control level, audit logs and version history, these entries give you details to weigh how permissions and changes are handled. OCR and storage limit can help you assess document processing and capacity; mobile apps may matter when access beyond a desktop is useful. Check free-plan availability and paid-from pricing as well. LogicalDOC, OpenKM and DocuWare are among the named options. Compare these listed capabilities with how you organize documents, who needs access and what record of changes your work requires.
