User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Pros

"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."
"The most valuable feature is the management."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"It is quite good."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."

"The BPM side should be improved."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"The user interface can be improved."
"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."
"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
