Innovative compression, document management efficiency, and optimizes storage

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"Being able to tag metadata on documents and being able to have different workspaces in there for our documents is valuable. We do loan documents, and different types of documents have different types of retentions. We are able to categorize based on that, and we are able to do tag searching to find what we are looking for."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."
 

Cons

"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"The response time is not effective, and the staff lacks adequate knowledge."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."
"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The product is pricey."
"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."
