Saves time and increases an organization's productivity
It's a great enterprise content management product. Our customers love the product for its stability and scalability. Search is the most useful feature of the solution. The way we retrieve documents is more important than how we store them. There's no use if we can't find a document. It's the most critical feature. My organization works with other customers. We are consultants for OpenText. Our customers have seen a lot of benefits in terms of regulatory compliance. Industries like banking are highly regulated. The product captures the information centrally so everybody in the bank can see the right information at the right time. It is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful with legal issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OpenText 360 for SharePoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing me to monitor and manage projects and task issues using mobile devices."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint significantly saves time for users by streamlining the tasks of handling, searching, and maintaining documents compared to traditional file servers."
"It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
 

Cons

"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
"The GUI should be improved for better user experience. Additionally, while there are standard connectors for automation and approvals in Power Platform, some tasks still need to be handled with API request calls instead of direct connectors, which could be improved."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"The user interface can be improved."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"The vertical application could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On-premises version is expensive"

"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."
"The price is considered affordable now."
