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.

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."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The stability is very good."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"The vertical application could 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."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
