Technical Manager at Thames Water

Offers version control capabilities, easy to set up but highly-priced

The main thing is the cost. Most of the time, organizations move away from Documentum due to cost. It's highly-priced, and the support costs are high. Now, SharePoint and other options. Microsoft gives free licenses, so organizations mainly look for cost-effective products. The second thing is updates and patching. We patch very often, every six months or a year. We have SP1, SP2, and SP3, and then suddenly, it's moved out of support. That's the organization's main pain area. They don't want to keep investing from a storage perspective. The licensing model should be changed. The product itself is out of support. They have not considered it for AI initiatives. The new version should be on the cloud. I'm not sure if the new version of Documentum, xECM, is cloud compatible or on which cloud it is compatible, but the OpenText server itself is on a cloud, which would be beneficial to the business. And it would also be easier for migration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."

"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."

"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."

"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."

"The most valuable feature is the management."

"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."

Cons

"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."

"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 primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."

"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."

"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."

"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."

"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."

"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."

"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."

"The BPM side should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."

"It is quite an expensive product."

"The product is expensive."

"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."

"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
