Featured Reviews

Maurice Riverso - PeerSpot reviewer
Records Management Officer at ANZPAA
Our our official repository and it has disposal management and retention management
The security architecture is the only problem as it's a little bit complex and too torturous at times. So it could be improved a little bit, but it is regarded as a very good system in Australia. It's probably overly subscribed. Also, what's missing is what people would like, which is basically online collaboration. That's a problem. But it has so many other things to offer that SharePoint, I'm sure, will not have. So, that will be an interesting issue to come up. It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft. That's a bit of a problem with Content Manager. They're kind of very volatile. So, that's been definitely something that could be improved.

Built-in integrations increase efficiency but cluster support requires improvement
On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments. Multiple instances need to be set up and configured. In the cloud environment, improvements are ongoing. The fallback and benefit assessment of the product suggest a need for a rating of seven or eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For a records management system, Content Manager is a really good system."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search, sort and retrieve using metadata; in particular, the ability to create custom reports using the print merge functionality as per the requests that are issued from clients."
"It helps us in terms of efficiency when working with multiple people at the same time, on the same case."
"HPE Content Manager 9, and its predecessors, is an excellent EDRMS with a strong emphasis on record lifecycle and compliance with government standards."
"The product allows us to run our Notice of Destructions seamlessly and produces our annual folders with ease."
"The product can be integrated with different solutions."
"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."
"This is a wonderful product with many options."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"There are competitors out there, but there's a lot that Oracle Cloud offers outside of giving you just a basic database or basic infrastructure-as-a-service that add a lot of value to it."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
 

Cons

"The system is difficult to navigate and understand the full scope of functionality available for end users to appreciate the value."
"Generally speaking, HPE’s support for the product has been weak since the acquisition from TOWER Software."
"Technical support is very frustrating. It is difficult to get a good response from HPE and even more difficult to find anyone that can really help us with the product."
"We've had it for a year now, and since we started implementation it has been, to say softly, a nightmare."
"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"We have not yet utilized the web version, as we encountered a few issues during testing."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
"It has extensive configuration restrictions for administrators and file extension limitations. Clunky in look and feel."
"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
