FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

User-friendly content management but needs more customizations
We use OpenText Documentum for managing the command life cycle and for content management Documentum helps by saving time during daily operations. The product is user-friendly. The BPM side should be improved. It would be beneficial to have more ability to customize features for specific use…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"It is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"The most valuable feature is the management."
"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."
 

Cons

"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
"We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"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 has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."
"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"We use a community version."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."
"It is quite an expensive product."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"The product is expensive."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
