The ability to have duplicate document names is very useful for content migration. During trouble-shooting you will discover that the logs are all over the place.
During trouble-shooting you will discover that the logs are all over the place - even on servers you would not expect - and fragmented into dozens of files, yet the detail is excellent. It's Java execution logs, so needs a bit of interpretation skill, though. Speaking of Java, the web interface requires JRE and degrades in mysterious ways without it: No warnings or graceful fall-back. The web UI is otherwise VERY awkward and limited in functionality. The Windows client on the other hand is extremely dated but rich in functionality - not pretty, though. Despite the API, there is no vendor support for integration into any other systems except through HTML frames.

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.
