ELO eRecords vs Gimmal Records

ELO eRecords manages digital documents, files, and cases, including email associated with a case. Search tools help users locate records and related information. Workflows support signing, reminders, and collaboration between departments organized around a department or case. A feed allows comments, posts, and subscriptions for records, files, and cases. Dashboards include reminders and deadline functions, while automatic reports present structured information in different views. Permissions and access rights protect confidential data, which is retained according to legal retention periods. ELO says its public administration solution meets the requirements of Germany’s E-Government Act. Business examples include construction, patient, supplier, and customer files, and employees can access records remotely when away from the office. ELO eRecords is listed with hybrid deployment; the wider ELO ECM Suite, which includes ELO business solutions, is offered as cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. The product is available on Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Pricing is on request. ELO business partners support customers with onboarding and planning and implementing digitalization projects.

Gimmal Records manages records across enterprise repositories without requiring content to be moved elsewhere. A centralized dashboard provides visibility into information held across those repositories, while file plans, retention schedules, record classes, rules, and triggers help classify information and manage it through its lifecycle to disposition. Record controls include declaration actions, legal holds, record properties, and time-stamped audit entries; audit reports can be filtered and exported. A legal hold can pause a record's lifecycle and prevent disposition or modification while the hold remains active. Disposition can use ongoing inbox approvals or optional batch processing based on predefined rules. Documented connectors include Box, SharePoint Server, Documentum, FileNet, SharePoint Online, and Universal File Share, although some SharePoint connectors are marked deprecated. Deployment options include Gimmal-hosted cloud, customer servers, and customer cloud servers such as Azure. On-premises requirements include Windows Server 2016 or later, SQL Server 2016 or later, HTTPS, and TLS 1.2. Pricing is on request.
