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

"The product allows us to run our Notice of Destructions seamlessly and produces our annual folders with ease."
"The product is valuable generally due to its wide use and acceptance in the public sector in my region."
"Drag and drop: With users having dual screens nowadays, this functionality is used a lot by staff and is also a good way to show people who are new to TRIM (HPE Content Manager) the simplicity of how things can be done."
"Go for it."
"This creates a more sustainable, competitive, government compliant, and secure solution in the long term which pays off on the investment."
"This is a wonderful product with many options."
"My advice to others is that they cannot go wrong with the solution."
"Eliminated the need for paper records."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"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."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
 

Cons

"We now have 2 proxies, 5 distribution servers and about 40 IDOL engines with tons of data on CEs. It is a scalable solution, but we see performance degradation and maintenance nightmares."
"Functionality gets removed as new versions are released."
"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."
"This system eats up a lot of staff time for support, administration, and use."
"Pricing is an issue, as it is too expensive."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
"The system is difficult to navigate and understand the full scope of functionality available for end users to appreciate the value."
"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find."
"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."
"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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 fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
