Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The templates and components that come out of the box are very helpful, especially in terms of the content fragments and experience fragments. Every client would like to have some templates and components, and they would like to cut down the effort of having to create every component that's customized. So, they try to use them out of the box. Other than that, the user roles and permissions workflows, third-party integrations, and system integration are the features that are very important.""Good content and digital management capabilities."

"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance.""We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful.""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.""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.""It's a very good solution.""We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements.""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.""An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."

Cons
"Unable to handle very large video files.""It would be better if it also supports some styling. Currently, whenever we have to do design for a particular client according to their brand strategy, it takes a good amount of effort. Adobe never focuses on this area. They say that you design your pages, templates, etc. If they can define common components or a common section of the style sheet so that if you want to have a button by default, you can go and just mention the specifications, such as the color code, and those specifications are automatically followed across the whole site or multiple sites according to the brand strategy. Such functionality will be helpful because currently, it takes a lot of effort to manage them separately."

More Adobe Web Experience Management Cons →

"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time.""The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly.""User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client).""We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great.""The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved.""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 needs to improve the user interface.""The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."

  • "The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
  • "Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
  • "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."
  • "The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."

  • "OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
