Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."
"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability."
"OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"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."
"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."
"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
"The solution is expensive."
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"The product is pricey."
