Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."
"It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
 

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"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."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"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 product is expensive."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"The price is considered affordable now."
