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…

Saves time and increases an organization's productivity
It's a great enterprise content management product. Our customers love the product for its stability and scalability. Search is the most useful feature of the solution. The way we retrieve documents is more important than how we store them. There's no use if we can't find a document. It's the most critical feature. My organization works with other customers. We are consultants for OpenText. Our customers have seen a lot of benefits in terms of regulatory compliance. Industries like banking are highly regulated. The product captures the information centrally so everybody in the bank can see the right information at the right time. It is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful with legal issues.

I have been an administrator for SharePoint and have used it as an end-user for document storage. Predominantly, I've been involved in administration SharePoint helps a lot since we've moved from using it directly to using it as a backend for Teams, which makes collaboration easier. It supports…

"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."

Cons

"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."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."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"The licensing model should be changed."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"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 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."
"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"The product must provide more automation."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is quite an expensive product."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The pricing works for us."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
