DocsNG vs Microsoft Syntex
Microsoft 365 content understanding with template-based document generation. Here is how it stacks up against DocsNG's no-code, self-hosted, sign-and-verify approach.
The short version
Microsoft Syntex is strong at what it does, but does not combine no-code Word templating with qualified signing, independent verification and self-hosting the way DocsNG does. If a document has to be both easy to author and provably trustworthy on your own infrastructure, DocsNG covers the whole path.

DocsNG vs Microsoft Syntex — common questions
How is DocsNG different from Microsoft Syntex?
Syntex is native to Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. DocsNG works outside the Microsoft estate, runs on-premises or air-gapped, and adds eIDAS qualified signing and independent verification.
Do I need Microsoft 365 to use DocsNG?
No. DocsNG is self-hosted and integrates over a REST API; templates are authored in Word but generation and storage are independent of Microsoft 365.
Does DocsNG support qualified e-signatures?
Yes - advanced (AdES), qualified (QES) and electronic seals (QSeal), with PAdES-LTV and qualified timestamping.
