Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
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 content governance has accelerated multi-channel publishing and empowered business teams
I wanted to highlight that Webiny Enterprise CMS Plus could be improved further by expanding its enterprise-grade analytics and reporting, providing more out-of-the-box integrations with commonly used enterprise platforms, and simplifying some advanced configuration and administration workflows. Enhanced documentation, migration guidance, and more pre-built templates for large-scale implementations would also help teams adopt the platform faster and reduce the learning curve. Another area for improvement would be making enterprise administration and governance even more intuitive, particularly for organizations with large teams and complex permission structures. More advanced workflow automation, stronger monitoring and observability capabilities, and additional AI-assisted content management features would further improve productivity. A broader ecosystem of integrations and clearer best practice guidance for enterprise-scale deployments would also make adoption easier. One additional area would be improving the overall enterprise user experience. A more intuitive administration dashboard, better deployment and migration tooling, and stronger monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities would make it easier to manage large-scale environments. It would also be valuable to have more detailed cost and usage visibility, stronger documentation for advanced enterprise scenarios, and more pre-built integrations with common enterprise identity, data, and workflow platforms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability."
"OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information."
"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"Being able to tag metadata on documents and being able to have different workspaces in there for our documents is valuable. We do loan documents, and different types of documents have different types of retentions. We are able to categorize based on that, and we are able to do tag searching to find what we are looking for."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"The extra value for both solutions is adding workflow managers, similar to business process management systems, where you can verify flows and sign off documents."
"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."
"CMS Plus has impacted my organization positively because it gives us the ability to see growth and receive good customer feedback."
"Overall, Webiny Enterprise CMS Plus is a strong option for organizations looking for a flexible, cloud-native, headless CMS, with an API-first architecture, scalability, and content governance capabilities that are particularly valuable for modern enterprise environments."
 

Cons

"The overall architecture is still a bit cumbersome. The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"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 annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"I wanted to highlight that Webiny Enterprise CMS Plus could be improved further by expanding its enterprise-grade analytics and reporting, providing more out-of-the-box integrations with commonly used enterprise platforms, and simplifying some advanced configuration and administration workflows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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