Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees
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."
"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"This creates a more sustainable, competitive, government compliant, and secure solution in the long term which pays off on the investment."
"The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search, sort and retrieve using metadata; in particular, the ability to create custom reports using the print merge functionality as per the requests that are issued from clients."
"Drag and drop: With users having dual screens nowadays, this functionality is used a lot by staff and is also a good way to show people who are new to TRIM (HPE Content Manager) the simplicity of how things can be done."
"HPE Content Manager provides organizations with a reliable system for managing massive amounts of information, in a structured, compliant and secure way, with a level of functionality and reliability that I have not seen matched by custom-built or other systems."
"For a records management system, Content Manager is a really good system."
"Sharing of documents, reduction of duplication, and the ability to manage retention, disposition and overall records management have been significant benefits for our organization."
"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"We have not yet utilized the web version, as we encountered a few issues during testing."
"The system is difficult to navigate and understand the full scope of functionality available for end users to appreciate the value."
"It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft."
"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"Functionality gets removed as new versions are released."
"Pricing is an issue, as it is too expensive."
"Many projects I've worked on encounter issues in production relating to load balancing and throttling where systems cannot cope with the volumes and capacity of transactional processing."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
