Joao Santiago - PeerSpot reviewer
Analista at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
Digital workflows have transformed meeting minutes and document tracking across departments
There are some particular aspects of Hyland OnBase, such as layouts or some modules that have just been built, that are not designed with the end user in mind. That's something they need to improve. However, even if it's not adequate for the end user, you can still take that and, with custom development, use those modules and APIs in a user-friendly way. They need to improve the interface and usability of Unity and think more about usability. In terms of tool usability, sometimes there are too many clicks to perform an action, which, if you developed it yourself, you could do in two clicks, whereas within Unity you need four or five clicks to do the same process.

Built-in integrations increase efficiency but cluster support requires improvement
On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments. Multiple instances need to be set up and configured. In the cloud environment, improvements are ongoing. The fallback and benefit assessment of the product suggest a need for a rating of seven or eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I find exceptional is the document storage itself; it's outstanding how quickly you can find documents, content within documents, or images."
"Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) allowed us to enforce strict data privacy requirements like LGPD by ensuring users could only access authorized records based on their role, while making user onboarding and permission management much faster and more reliable."
"It provided data security features, allowing restrictions on sensitive documents, such as who could view or modify them."
"Hyland OnBase is a powerful enterprise management platform that is scalable, flexible, and secure in storing, retrieving, and making workflow automations."
"The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities."
"The AI integration in recent releases of Hyland OnBase allows for better analysis and is a standout feature."
"OnBase provides high-value solutions for organizations with much less cost in comparison to other ECM solutions."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use as long as you know what your business requirement are or the specifications are straightforward."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"There are competitors out there, but there's a lot that Oracle Cloud offers outside of giving you just a basic database or basic infrastructure-as-a-service that add a lot of value to it."
 

Cons

"As the system grows in terms of number of modules, features, and functionality, options can be confusing and they can conflict with other options that you enable."
"We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution."
"For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy."
"Software malfunctioning usually occurs when we receive documents from external sources."
"The solution’s initial setup is a little difficult."
"As an ECM solution, there are a lot of improvements needed. For example, the web client should address the next generation of web technologies such as HTML5 and stylish layout."
"The dashboards do have some room for improvement as compared to the other vendors which are there in the market."
"There are some particular aspects of Hyland OnBase, such as layouts or some modules that have just been built, that are not designed with the end user in mind."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution costs around $6,000 per month."
"The tool's price is high."
"There are a number of different types of licenses. There are concurrent licenses, individual licenses and imaging licenses."
"They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."
"OnBase is reasonably priced."
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
