Managing Partner and AEM Architect at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Its flexibility and customization ability. Ease of initial setup and complete set of features to support digital marketing initiatives.
Start small and plan your first set of objectives clearly, leaving all the “nice-to-haves” for a later phase. Starting this way will help companies get a sample of the benefits, and get familiar with the tool in general. After the first phase, they may find things that they thought they wanted are not really required or can be achieved in a better, more efficient way in the AEM world. Another useful suggestion is to avoid trying to recreate your current solution using AEM; rather, try to look for new and different ways to achieve the same results that take advantage of AEM’s features.

User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All these features help companies create powerful web applications that can then be customized and maintained by marketers with little involvement from IT."
"LiveCycle has a good user interface and has developed an easy way to create fillable .pdf forms."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"In terms of sub-products/components, the most valuable features are definitely Content Server and DFC."
"Using Documentum products such as ContentServer, xCP, and Captiva, over 90 large-scale business processes and applications have been successfully implemented to move forward to a paperless organization, fully integrated with our Oracle E-Business Suite and custom enterprise systems built in-house."
"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

"Help menu is a bit difficult to navigate."
"We have found occasional issues with stability but those were, in general, caused either by custom developed code or issues in the implemented architecture."
"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."

"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"The user interface can be improved. Searching for documents is complex and should be easier."

"Several sub-products, like RMA and RPS are really bad stability-wise and many other aspects."
