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.

Pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information."
"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"The product is pricey."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
