Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The vertical scalability, as we can use it across some of our applications.""The tool is a very stable solution with high availability and no information leakage. It has built-in API integration on-site. You can integrate with other components and applications like SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.""The content management is all about you as you can make the same content for minimal purpose solutions applications.""The scalability is a valuable feature, that we're able to display our documents to so many people."

More IBM ECM Pros →

"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product.""It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""It was extremely easy to setup.""The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again.""We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives).""It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365.""It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."

Cons
"I would recommend not going with ECM 8 and going with FileNet instead. It seems like that is the future of the lower-volume repository. It seems like they are moving away from ECM 8.5 so I think we're going to have some challenges coming up, getting off of that technology.""I think it's already getting away from Java applets. A lot of our users struggle with keeping up to date with Java versioning, so a lot of the functions they're doing, like printing, emailing, and even some of the viewing, they're struggling with.""The development platform is not local. For example, you need 100 days in IBM, whereas other platforms, like ServiceNow, need only 20 days.""I would like to see seamless application integration."

More IBM ECM Cons →

"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office.""Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns.""The technical support is really very bad.""The initial setup is a bit clunky.""The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive.""The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings.""Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
