Why companies opt for DocuXplorer instead of Revver for their document management software needs—and what makes DocuXplorer the smarter choice.
Revver is a well-established player in the document management space, offering cloud-based document storage and workflow tools designed for small to medium-sized businesses.
Revver didn’t start as Revver. Longtime users may recognize it by its former names—eFileCabinet and Rubex. Each rebrand came with major structural changes to the platform, sometimes at the expense of the user experience. One user shares their experience after being forced to migrate from eFileCabinet to Rubex:
“The interface is absolutely terrible to work with…any functionality other than basic file storage proved to be overcomplicated and useless to our small firm.”
In addition, when they decided to move off the platform, the only way to export files was to manually click and drag every folder’s contents to the desktop. For a firm with 200+ clients, that meant weeks of extra work.
Since then, Rubex has rebranded once more to Revver, a shift that “better represents who we are, who we serve, and, specifically, the business impact we deliver for our customers and partners,” says Jesse Wood, Revver CEO. The latest rebrand is also intended to reflect Revver’s goal of creating a new category of document management that powers and automates all aspects of document-dependent work.
If you're evaluating document management software for your business, it's worth considering whether continuity is a priority for your organization. If so, and if you need flexibility, control, and power—without unnecessary complexity or high costs—DocuXplorer might be an ideal Revver alternative.
Let’s explore Revver’s features and functionality, as well as how you can assess whether it’s delivering the ROI you need in your document operations.
Revver is a fully cloud-based DMS with no local hosting option. To use the platform, you must migrate all your data to their cloud. Is this so bad? Perhaps not, but some organizations prefer to use their own IT infrastructure.
For teams without in-house tech resources, ease of setup and support can make or break adoption. Some industries, such as healthcare, require greater control over data storage.
DocuXplorer gives you the choice. Use it fully in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid model. For teams in regulated industries like healthcare or finance, or those with in-house IT infrastructure, this flexibility can be critical.
This is a core tenet of document management systems—going digital doesn’t just free up physical storage space, but also eliminates the need to do manual document processing. With a DMS, you also translate your paper-based processes into automated workflows that give you consistency, visibility, and accountability, while freeing up your time to do other critical work.
Both Revver and DocuXplorer automate collaboration, with document routing, integrated eSignature, and task reminders.
DocuXplorer provides fully customizable workflows and automations based on your needs, not predefined use cases. Instead of you having to change your workflows to fit the software, DocuXplorer adapts to your processes. From contract tracking to asset management to audit trails, you get automation that fits your operations, not someone else’s.
Revver offers a modern UI and highlights its file sharing and collaboration functionality; however, some users have reported the software lacks effective email integration and email attachment capabilities.
DocuXplorer’s interface mirrors a familiar cabinet, file, and folder system. It also offers simple search functionality, where you can search files by specific fields (metadata) or by content within the document (full text search). DocuXplorer’s layout makes it ideal for teams used to traditional filing systems.
Want to skip searching altogether? DocuXplorer’s AI Insights lets you ask a plain-language question and receive an instant answer—plus links to the original files. It's like a private ChatGPT for your business documents.
Revver has introduced “Smart Extract,” an AI-based data extraction tool that supports OCR and full-text search, giving users better visibility into document contents.
DocuXplorer raises the bar with a suite of intelligent tools designed to eliminate up to 90% of manual steps:
One former Revver client used AI Capture to index and file nearly 200,000 previously unsearchable documents—something they couldn’t do effectively with Revver, where nothing had been indexed. With DocuXplorer, they completed the project in under four weeks, saving an estimated 2,293 hours and nearly $46,000 in manual labor costs.
Rather than clicking through menus or remembering where something was filed, just type your question and get an instant response grounded in your company data.
Both platforms include scheduled reporting and analytics, but DocuXplorer helps you move from reactive reporting to proactive intelligence.
DocuXplorer brings AI into everyday document tasks—without compromising simplicity or security.
DocuXplorer is more than a Revver replacement—it’s a long-term partner in smarter, simpler document management.
Whether you’re leaving Revver behind or just looking for a more adaptable DMS, with a system that scales with your business, you’ll efficiently store, manage, and automate your documents today and tomorrow.
No matter your current document management setup, we make it easy to transition and support you every step of the way. Try DocuXplorer today as your:
