Yarkon S3 Server - 20 Users
Document access has become secure and centralized and now saves significant IT team effort
What is our primary use case?
Yarkon serves as our main tool, and our IT team uses it extensively to develop applications and for remote administration of our products.
A specific example of how our IT team uses Yarkon for remote administration and app development is that we were conducting consolidation across our other business verticals, and we realized that we did not have a proper document management solution. That is when we acquired Yarkon, which enabled us to consolidate many documents in one place.
We have been using Yarkon for a year, and it has been performing well. We have not faced any issues so far.
What is most valuable?
The best features Yarkon offers include strong security and excellent AWS native access, which is very important for our organization. Additionally, Yarkon does not require client installation.
The secure AWS native access makes things easier for my team because our credentials, SSOs, and authentication information are very secure and under our control. Since Yarkon does not require client installation, it can be used directly from the browser, which helps us limit the load on our server since there is no need for multiple software installations on everyone's desktops.
Yarkon has positively impacted our organization by making things easier for everyone, helping business users understand and review the data and documents available across the databases.
Yarkon has made things easier for business users by saving considerable time for the team, especially for the IT staff, as it reduces manual effort significantly.
What needs improvement?
Yarkon has all the required features that it promises as a product, so I do not see any improvement areas at this time.
I cannot recall anything specific regarding needed improvements.
We are satisfied with Yarkon so far, and there are no improvements needed.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Yarkon for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Yarkon appears to be stable. I have not been informed of any downtime or reliability issues, but if there were something like that, it would have definitely been highlighted to the team.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Yarkon has shown good scalability. We have been able to consolidate across multiple regions, and it has grown and handled the increased workloads well.
How are customer service and support?
I have not interacted with customer support directly, but the IT team interacts with them regularly. As far as I know, the support has been good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution. This was the first time that we deployed a solution like Yarkon.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a good return on investment. It is too early to provide specific numbers since it has only been a year since we deployed Yarkon, but we do see considerable improvement in terms of time saved. We are not terminating anyone from IT because we have a document software in place, but time has definitely been saved.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing was a very important factor before deciding on Yarkon, but the team was very cooperative and helped us understand our requirements, allowing us to negotiate better pricing and licensing terms.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was not part of the process where other vendors were evaluated, as that was conducted by the procurement team. Since I work in finance, this came to me when the final decision was happening at the negotiation stage. I am sure they would have evaluated a couple of other vendors.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Yarkon is that it is up to each organization to evaluate and determine what best suits their needs. For my organization, we have been using Yarkon and I have no complaints. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.
