Broad incumbents

• Lucidea: Lucidea is a records management and knowledge management software vendor whose website already hosts the CuadraSTAR product pages. Directly comparable as a provider of records management systems to libraries, archives, and corporate clients, and is the apparent channel affiliate for Cuadra Associates.
• OpenText: OpenText is a large incumbent enterprise information management vendor offering records management, archiving, and content services. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same records-management space, but at vastly greater scale across many adjacent product lines.
• Hyland Software: Hyland (creator of OnBase) is a long-established enterprise content management vendor with deep records management capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving enterprise records management needs with a much larger install base and broader product portfolio.

Direct peers

• M-Files: M-Files provides intelligent information management software that organizes documents based on metadata rather than folders. Comparable to CuadraSTAR in the electronic records and document management category, with a similar enterprise-focused subscription model.
• DocuWare: DocuWare provides cloud-based document management and workflow automation software to mid-market and enterprise customers. Comparable to CuadraSTAR in addressing electronic records capture, storage, and retrieval, but at substantially larger scale and with a modern cloud delivery model.
• Alfresco: Alfresco provides open-source and commercial enterprise content and records management software. Comparable as a records management platform serving enterprise customers, with a modern open-standards approach.
• Square 9 Softworks: Square 9 Softworks (now part of Square 9, a Hyland company) provides document management and workflow automation for SMB and mid-market. Comparable as a focused records/document management vendor competing in similar customer segments.
• Laserfiche: Laserfiche offers enterprise content management and document management solutions with strong penetration in regulated industries. Directly comparable as a records and document management platform competing for similar enterprise customers with subscription-based delivery.

Emerging players

• MasterControl: MasterControl provides document and quality management software targeted at regulated industries. Comparable as a niche-focused records and document management vendor with a subscription model, though with a stronger regulated-industry specialization.
• DocStar (Star-Dundee / eFileCabinet): eFileCabinet (which acquired DocStar) offers document management software for SMBs with a subscription model. Comparable as a smaller-scale electronic records and document management vendor serving similar customer use cases.
