Offers version control capabilities, easy to set up but highly-priced
The main thing is the cost. Most of the time, organizations move away from Documentum due to cost. It's highly-priced, and the support costs are high. Now, SharePoint and other options. Microsoft gives free licenses, so organizations mainly look for cost-effective products. The second thing is updates and patching. We patch very often, every six months or a year. We have SP1, SP2, and SP3, and then suddenly, it's moved out of support. That's the organization's main pain area. They don't want to keep investing from a storage perspective. The licensing model should be changed. The product itself is out of support. They have not considered it for AI initiatives. The new version should be on the cloud. I'm not sure if the new version of Documentum, xECM, is cloud compatible or on which cloud it is compatible, but the OpenText server itself is on a cloud, which would be beneficial to the business. And it would also be easier for migration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing me to monitor and manage projects and task issues using mobile devices."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"The stability is very good."
"It is quite good."
"I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities."
"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
 

Cons

"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."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"In the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing."
"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a reasonable price."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"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."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"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."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"It is quite an expensive product."
