Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"The setup is easy."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"It's heavy on business processing in terms of logic, process workflows, and primarily on the process design modeler. Appian is really great at that. In terms of the full stack set from a low-code platform perspective, it's definitely an eye opener since it can be deployed via mobile app and on the web as well."
"In terms of interface, it's very good. In terms of infrastructure, it's amazing and already using multiple tools behind the scenes. It's a low-code platform, so it's very easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"It is quite good."
"OpenText Documentum has improved availability and performance in our organization."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"While Appian is generally flexible, it's rigid in some ways. It takes longer to do something that isn't available out of the box."
"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."
"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."
