Time from creation to access is much better, as reports are immediately available upon generation
The usability, the ease of access, are among the most valuable features, as well as the improved functionality it gives us. Also, the solution's content interoperability for business systems and applications, as well as content, is very intuitive, highly user-friendly, and well received. Another important feature is that Mobius provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously. And I would highly endorse it as well for helping to provide secure access to information anytime and anywhere. That secure access is very important because of our content security requirements. I also rate it "high" for automating the governance of information while meeting global and regional data security privacy laws and regulations.

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.

Cons

"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."
"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."
"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing."
"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"It is quite an expensive product."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The price is considered affordable now."
