Cons
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility.""IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM.""Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly.""We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic.""Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow.""There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings.""The solution can be quite expensive.""The cloud version could use more stability."

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs.""The user interface can be a bit more intuitive.""Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard.""We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site.""I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times.""They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen.""It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
