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 very complete and powerful solution."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
"The stability is very good."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
