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."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."
"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."
"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."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."
"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."
"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."
 

Cons

"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"More out-of-the-box automation features should be added to OpenText Extended ECM."
"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important."
"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."
"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."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
"The cost of the product could be improved."

"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"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."
