Improving data accessibility and security through enhanced interface design
In my current role, we use Mobius to capture data. We are partnered with the government, and the Mobius app is used to ensure accurate data capture. We use it alongside Salesforce to document our clients' entire process as they go through programs, capturing details of their work journey Mobius…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."
"Being able to tag metadata on documents and being able to have different workspaces in there for our documents is valuable. We do loan documents, and different types of documents have different types of retentions. We are able to categorize based on that, and we are able to do tag searching to find what we are looking for."
"OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
 

Cons

"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"The response time is not effective, and the staff lacks adequate knowledge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."
"The product is pricey."
"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
