Used by our agile teams instead of email to track impediments.
Stream activity could be better organized. Activities or content you are following will either be emailed to you or you follow in a stream. This is the largest issue to overcome for new people using the solution. When using email they receive way too many and it becomes noise. If they use streams, it's yet another thing to check along with email, IM, etc.

Saves time and increases an organization's productivity
It's a great enterprise content management product. Our customers love the product for its stability and scalability. Search is the most useful feature of the solution. The way we retrieve documents is more important than how we store them. There's no use if we can't find a document. It's the most critical feature. My organization works with other customers. We are consultants for OpenText. Our customers have seen a lot of benefits in terms of regulatory compliance. Industries like banking are highly regulated. The product captures the information centrally so everybody in the bank can see the right information at the right time. It is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful with legal issues.
