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.

User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

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."
"It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"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."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"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."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."
"The BPM side should be improved."
