Engineer at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees

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.

Our company has implemented a few customized application integrations in-house with OpenText Extended ECM, but we haven't tried any large integrations with high-end vendors. The product's maintenance depends on the number of user capacity licenses. Due to its complexities, Deploying OpenText Extended ECM for engineering use cases can be highly time-consuming. For engineering use cases, sketches of each file of GB size can be stored and managed by OpenText Extended ECM. The solution is being used mainly in our organization for applications built in Texas, but I have personally carried out OpenText Extended ECM deployments in the US for one of the customers. The applications' network and WAN are hosted internally in our organization.
