Sometimes it would have been quicker to search outside of Microsoft or Sharepoint and use Google, or even find a YouTube video that explained how to do something, which should not be necessary for a Microsoft product that we pay for.
Application Developer at El Camino Hospital
We can definitely improve the search feature, which should crawl every page and every list to retrieve data.
Senior Business Analyst at a construction company with 51-200 employees
 

Setup Cost

OpenText Content Management is costly and complex, but offers comprehensive solutions, potentially deterring medium-sized businesses despite its strengths.
SharePoint 2010 offers enterprises a cost-effective, easy-to-setup solution with transparent licensing, aligning with Microsoft's affordable pricing.
If you compare it to an archiving solution and you are using content management only for archiving, the cost of the license may seem too high, as you are paying for a license that not only includes archiving but also controls the full life cycle of information, connects with SAP and Salesforce, features a native connection with Office 365, and supports parallel editing.
Director Consulting SAP OpenText en Entelgy at DCL Consultores EIM SL
The cost is a significant factor that may deter medium-sized businesses from using OpenText extended ECM.
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has been transparent

Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
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.
Director Consulting SAP OpenText en Entelgy at DCL Consultores EIM SL
The workflows that connect Outlook, Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7, and OneDrive among others allow me to manage multiple actions for all these tools.

Group IT Director with 1-10 employees
I am not sure how we would share some of these resources as easily with another solution, especially being able to control who can access what at different levels and who can edit which files, who can upload, and who can see different things.

Director Consulting SAP OpenText en Entelgy at DCL Consultores EIM SL
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.

Centralized collaboration has transformed intranet projects but search and mobile still need work
Workflow in Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has helped my teams by using it for Sharepoint access request forms. The workflow I use involves submission, and when the submission happens, there is an approval of the form. Approval goes to the manager, and once he approves it, it goes to the next phase. For final acceptance, we send it to an end user so he can check mark on it or indicate that the work is done. These are the approval processes we utilize, including out-of-the-box email approval and alerts sent by the system. Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has saved time and improved productivity by enabling cost-saving measures. When using one place for all documents, your team can see everything in the latest mode. All they need to do is click the link to access the same place, and follow-up conversations occur on the same page. It definitely saves a lot of time and energy for teams, allowing them to focus less on email exchanges and more on project tasks. Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has positively impacted my organization by providing very good collaboration capability. It includes a list, calendar, permissions, and everything that works great for everyone. It offers one centralized place, so there is no need to configure or go to multiple places looking for the same information. Once I update information, everybody syncs on the same data. It also enables tracking changes, restoring previous versions, maintaining document history, and sharing team calendars, organizing the same vision with different kinds of access. This feature definitely contributes to good progress in teams, making it very useful for any organization. Best features Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 offers include a list and permission capability, team collaboration capability, workflow and approval process capability. All of these capabilities are fantastic, including version control and permission-based access, providing one centralized place where everybody can see everything and update it. If we need to revert back, version control is there, and we can see how much use case it is. It is very efficient for business users. I am a Sharepoint user for a long time, so all of those features are fantastic.
