I am looking for an alternative for portal document manager for WebSphere Portal 6.1.5. We are looking at Quickr and also Alfresco. I was looking at the Alfresco tree-view portlet. Has anyone tried that as an alternative and what has your experience been? Has anyone tried any other alternatives that worked well?

I really should get round to doing another comparison. My impression is that Alfresco adds a lot if you have Quickr already, but if you have Alfresco already the Share portal does pretty much everything Quickr does, and the API and development framework is a better point from which to extend it. I need to do some more research on the current state of Quickr and write an updated article I think.

How much of this article still holds true in 2010? We are moving with Alfresco for Web Content Management, and provided the Share collaboration to some early adopters, but there is now a push to buy Quickr.

Hi Paul,

I was using Alfresco Community Edition as of May 2008. I plan an updated article soon comparing the latest Quickr (which hasn’t really changed apart from some interesting new bugs) and the latest Alfresco Labs which we will hopefully be installing on our Libertus servers as an easy way to pilot Alfresco.

Which version and client of Alfresco were you using? Our newer Share client has a calendar, plus flash document reading, blaa, blaa, sales pitch. Themes for Share are also easy to create, we just haven’t had the time/priority to make an easy ‘add theme’ UI yet. Thanks for the praise!

I think you should make it clear you are referring to Quickr Domino. Quickr J2EE is a different beast altogether, with a lot more customizable and adjustable features.

The author of this piece can probably provide a good answer (as he was/is a Notes/Domino developer). I’ll forward your question to him.

Thanks for commenting.

What about Lotus Notes mail integration in Alfresco?
I have played with Alfresco and I like it very much, but the problem is that I need Lotus Notes mail integration in the company.

Grtz,
John

[...] Well, now that I’ve bitched about Quickr after singing its praises, I hope I’ve offered a somewhat balanced view of it after my limited experience with it. Please note I’m fairly new to the world of Lotus, and even more new to the world of Quickr, so if I’ve gotten it all wrong, don’t be afraid to let me know. For those of you who want to see some more negatives, check out The Open Sourcerer’s opinion. [...]
