Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.4
Google Drive Enterprise boosts productivity, security, and collaboration, enhancing file access and organizational efficiency across devices.
Sentiment score
7.4
Users find OpenText ECM valuable for efficient multitasking and ROI, despite challenges in precise IT measurement.
ROI may be very short if you use OpenText Content Management system effectively.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.8
Google Drive Enterprise users rarely need support due to its stability, but praise responsive service when complex issues arise.
Sentiment score
4.7
OpenText's customer service is responsive but faces delays, with inconsistent efficiency and a need for expertise improvement.
The staff lacks adequate knowledge.
Currently, they are improving support and transitioning to a new solution, which is better than what they implemented in the past three to four years.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Google Drive Enterprise is praised for its adaptability and scalability, though some mention daily upload limits.
Sentiment score
7.2
OpenText Content Management excels in scalability and adaptability, supporting large organizations despite documentation challenges, with seamless system integration.
There is not enough documentation about scaling, which makes it difficult to enhance or modify environments without significant effort.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Google Drive Enterprise is praised for its stability, with high user ratings and minimal issues related to external factors.
Sentiment score
7.0
OpenText Content Management is stable but needs enhancements in alerting and performance, with improvements noted in newer versions.
The product is quite stable if it is well-managed.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Drive Enterprise needs enhanced security, improved interface, better non-Google integration, increased storage, and advanced Microsoft collaboration.
OpenText Content Management needs feature enhancements, better integration, improved performance, and more robust support and AI capabilities.
I am not aware of the security level it provides, and I would not recommend it for enterprise or company use due to these security concerns.
The expectation from the customer versus the product explanation needs alignment.
Another important aspect is the improvement of the artificial intelligence already embedded in OpenText Content Management solution.
 

Setup Cost

Google Drive Enterprise offers varied pricing, seen as affordable by some, with value in bundled Google services despite competition.
OpenText Content Management is costly and complex, but offers comprehensive solutions, potentially deterring medium-sized businesses despite its strengths.
I am familiar with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing costs of Google Drive Enterprise, and I find it cost-effective.
If you compare it to an archiving solution and you are using content management only for archiving, the cost of the license may seem too high, as you are paying for a license that not only includes archiving but also controls the full life cycle of information, connects with SAP and Salesforce, features a native connection with Office 365, and supports parallel editing.
The cost is a significant factor that may deter medium-sized businesses from using OpenText extended ECM.
 

Valuable Features

Google Drive Enterprise provides seamless storage, collaboration, and security, offering flexible access and integration with Google services for efficient document management.
OpenText Content Management integrates with major apps, enhancing productivity with security, automation, and robust search features for efficient document handling.
The integration of various office tools allows for making and sharing documents easily.
The collaboration aspects between teams and within team members are the most beneficial features.
The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability.
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application.

Featured Reviews

Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use
I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.
Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided deep integration with business applications and supported full content lifecycle management
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application. Without connecting to the leading application, for example SAP, you can navigate between all documentation, having a full 360-degree view of all information related to the process. This means that when you create some action regarding an object that has a connected document in the content management system, you can automatically see additional information connected, managed and controlled by the leading application, with automatic reflection in the document management system. This is a unique advantage that OpenText Content Management has, which is not found in the market. Another unique feature is the integration with Office 365, where you can work with different folders or binders in the document management system and connect to Teams in a simple way, making all this information available in the Teams you are working with. Digital Asset Management is a big part of the content management solution within OpenText Content Management, allowing full integration of all documentation, pictures, plans, and technical documentation if you have asset management inside SAP. It connects similarly to other modules of SAP but includes a special feature for asset management from a technical point of view and connects with the engineering department, providing the full life cycle from development through deployment to maintenance. This means you have the full life cycle from the beginning when you define the solution, construct it, and finally transfer it to maintenance to keep all information updated easily, avoiding risks and ensuring access to accurate information at the right moment.
