Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, OpenText, Box and others in Enterprise Content Management."Centralized our business documents."
"The application, in terms of durability, has been able to withstand the usage, given that it was installed in 2003 and it's still working."
"Everybody ties into Active Directory and things like that, but on top of that are the extra layers of security for encryption, so they can meet standards required by PCI and by HIPAA: encryption at rest, encryption in flight, encryption in the database, all together. There are really only three products on the market that know how to do that, and FileNet is one of them."
"The product has helped with compliance and governance issues. There are some archiving policies which a financial organization has to keep. Our organization can keep up with them because of the IBM product."
"For a large company, for the robustness, stability, performance, and the growth — that you can grow it within seconds — I would advise using FileNet, without any doubt."
"It is a user-friendly system and easy to manage for anyone with basic knowledge."
"The usability is very good. We like the Content Navigator. It's very easy to use the search and retrieve for documents and has a lot of options for the user to download documents or send an email."
"The API's extensibility and new user interface are its most valuable features."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"The product is expensive."
"I would like to see Azure AD added."
"It needs better collaboration between the IBM teams on the FileNet and CCM sides."
"It would be nice to have additional integration features, which could be integration with IoOT-based products and solutions that also have automation requirements on the IOT side. Anything can be integrated from a Gateway or API perspective would be a plus."
"There is some confusion with FileNet workflow. It's not really going into the next level. They are probably replacing it with BPM's workflow. So there's an issue of clarity, the vision for going forward."
"I would like to have an offline DR deployment. If that is doable, then it would be a big win."
"Developers like us have an upgraded interface. That interface does not work in the process that we have today. It hangs and is not user-friendly."
"The new user interface is not easy to set up, so some improvements along these lines would be good."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Its functions need more stability."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
