Thinh Tran - PeerSpot reviewer
BPM Consultant at TECHCOMBANK
Has supported enterprise document storage but lacks cloud readiness and AI capabilities
The new version of IBM ECM is at the end of support, and we need to migrate to a new version to get open support. We need AI capabilities from IBM ECM for additional functionalities in the next release. Specifically, AI is needed for finding documents. The trend is moving toward AI, and for managing many documents effectively, we need AI capabilities. Currently, IBM ECM only handles physical files, not unstructured files. IBM needs to work alongside customers and share best practices for IBM ECM. Reading the IBM Redbook alone is not sufficient for the knowledge we need to build the best architecture for my company. IBM ECM needs to improve the cloud version, such as compatibility with Amazon Cloud, not only IBM Cloud, to make their product more competitive.

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

"This is a good and stable solution; it is a solution that you can trust and is, indeed, the best solution that we found out there."
"We have been using it for awhile for the content management purposes of some of the bank's co-functionality, and we have not seen many issues lately, thus, so far, so good in terms of performance."
"The scalability of Datacap is amazing; we really like it."
"The scalability is a valuable feature, that we're able to display our documents to so many people."
"The experiences of our internal and external customers have absolutely changed since implementing the solution, as it is a pleasure to use the system to manage the data, we are more organized, we are more agile, we have more information, and we can react to that information better."
"With the new version of Datacap that we're on now, what had took nine months to train somebody, now takes just a couple weeks."
"We've used CMOD or its predecessor for 25 years, so that's pretty stable."
"We were using an old technology and with the move to FileNet, we now have new capabilities, new features, and a new roadmap."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"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

"Datacap is a very complex system. It is very much an ease-of-use issue."
"It didn't implement as easy as we had hoped. We had some partner issues."
"The development platform is not local. For example, you need 100 days in IBM, whereas other platforms, like ServiceNow, need only 20 days."
"We’d like for it to be able to ingest reports that were created on the distributed side and get them into the same repository, where you have one repository for all reports."
"Technical support is pretty good. It's a crap shoot."
"I would like to see seamless application integration."
"ACCE and some of the other UI is not very intuitive for new users."
"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 only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reach out to local IBM partners.​"
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
