Cons

"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""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.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing.""They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
