Has provided deep integration with business applications and supported full content lifecycle management
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application. Without connecting to the leading application, for example SAP, you can navigate between all documentation, having a full 360-degree view of all information related to the process. This means that when you create some action regarding an object that has a connected document in the content management system, you can automatically see additional information connected, managed and controlled by the leading application, with automatic reflection in the document management system. This is a unique advantage that OpenText Content Management has, which is not found in the market. Another unique feature is the integration with Office 365, where you can work with different folders or binders in the document management system and connect to Teams in a simple way, making all this information available in the Teams you are working with. Digital Asset Management is a big part of the content management solution within OpenText Content Management, allowing full integration of all documentation, pictures, plans, and technical documentation if you have asset management inside SAP. It connects similarly to other modules of SAP but includes a special feature for asset management from a technical point of view and connects with the engineering department, providing the full life cycle from development through deployment to maintenance. This means you have the full life cycle from the beginning when you define the solution, construct it, and finally transfer it to maintenance to keep all information updated easily, avoiding risks and ensuring access to accurate information at the right moment.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"It's a very good solution."
"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."
"OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
 

Cons

"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"Also, the support from OpenText is really difficult. Honestly, I had a very bad experience on this."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."
"The solution is expensive."
"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"
"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"The product is pricey."
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
