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…

User-friendly content management but needs more customizations
We use OpenText Documentum for managing the command life cycle and for content management Documentum helps by saving time during daily operations. The product is user-friendly. The BPM side should be improved. It would be beneficial to have more ability to customize features for specific use…

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

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."
"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."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"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 product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"The stability is very good."
"The product is user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"I rate it a ten."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
 

Cons

"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."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"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."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"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."
"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"The navigation is confusing."
"When working on a website with SharePoint Online, not many people can edit simultaneously. If I am editing one section, my colleague cannot edit it at the same time."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite an expensive product."
"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."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
