Enables effective document control yet requires better affordability and clarity
I use extended ECM for procurement, sales, engineering documents, and sometimes invoices and accounts payable or receivable The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace. The seamless…
Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves efficiency and offers reliability along with good flexibility
I have used Oracle in different places, especially in the IT industry, for several years since 2009. I have been in the IT industry for a long period of time. I have had a chance to interact with many systems, and I have been in touch with several programming languages, including the ones in Oracle. As a developer, I use Oracle Content Management as an enterprise tool to enable development. The solution's integration capabilities are doing very well because I work with many of them, and its APIs are flexible, good, and secure. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."
"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."
"It's a very good solution."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."

"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."

"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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