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.

Permissions management is really good and offer classification categories for searching data
There are some workflows which need to be more user-friendly. We need to improve here on the specific map of the developers. Also, the support from OpenText is really difficult. Honestly, I had a very bad experience on this. It's really difficult to reach out to OpenText. Even for small things, OpenText is not transparent. As a professional, I don't think that's the right way. This is also one of the disadvantages; many customers are moving out of OpenText. I saw multiple instances when I was working with new RFPs or new opportunities. So many customers are raising the same concern, and they are looking for alternate products. That's been the case many times at the project level. With OpenText, we ourselves often have to resolve the issue before OpenText people provide a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"It 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."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."
"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."
"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."
"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."
 

Cons

"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"More out-of-the-box automation features should be added to OpenText Extended ECM."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."
"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"The solution is expensive."
"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
"The product is pricey."
