Sunil Mudambi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"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."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
