Has strong records management,, security, and integration capabilities

It provides extensive accessibility to our content, and it's a vital component in our work processes. We've gained access to a plethora of applications through OpenText, which enables us to enhance our services for customers. One notable example is the integration with Xfinity ECM, a solution that seamlessly integrates with SAP. For instance, when someone working with SAP needs to access a specific invoice document, SAP itself doesn't store these documents, instead, the content related to the invoice number seamlessly flows through Documentum. It offers robust security features and it allows to leverage a variety of plugins from OpenText to enhance security. For example, there are plugins like Trusted Content Services that allow you to encrypt entire documents for added security, though it's essential to be aware that this might impact performance. It is a highly potent content management tool. It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."

"You can build websites on it very quickly."

"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."

"It is good for big projects."

"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."

"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."

"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."

"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."

"The product is user-friendly."

"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."

"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."

Cons

"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."

"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."

"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."

"It is a little bit simplified."

"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."

"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."

"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."

"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."

"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."

"The licensing model should be changed."

"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."

"The BPM side should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."

"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."

"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."

"It is quite an expensive product."

"The price is considered affordable now."

"The product is expensive."
