"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM.""The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance.""OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information.""We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help.""The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document.""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.""We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements.""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."

More Acquia DAM Cons →

"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved.""Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important.""The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps.""The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly.""Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours.""The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex.""The solution needs to improve the user interface.""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."
