The indexing feature is handy but the user interface and support can be better
I am not sure if I will recommend this solution to others. There should definitely be an improvement in the user interface. It should be more friendly and customize until it's perfect. On a scale from 1 to 10, I rate this solution a six, because there is room for improvement.

Frequent updates, highly stable, and robust
We have had thousands of users, the solution is highly scalable. We have had a large installation of OpenText Decisiv and there were approximately 6,000 users. The user's roles vary, such as records managers. Additionally, depending on the organization, a lot of our clients are in the federal government which they have different types of roles, but most of them are end-users. They're searching for documents or the records that are in their repository, there are document producers, but most people are searching.
