Enabled us to consolidate workflows and reduce time spent searching for transactions

We have consolidated the workflow and have certain elements and functionalities developed in the new system so that my agents who are using the application don't have to do manual tasks searching for mail. So, we've consolidated and arranged some alerts and have done some segregation. The user is benefited, and the time spent on searching a transaction is reduced.

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

"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."

"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."

"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."

"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."

"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."

"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."

"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."

"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."

"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."

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

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

Cons

"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."

"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."

"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."

"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."

"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."

"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."

"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."

"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."

"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."

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

"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."

"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."

"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."

"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."

"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."

"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
