User-friendly content management but needs more customizations
We use OpenText Documentum for managing the command life cycle and for content management Documentum helps by saving time during daily operations. The product is user-friendly. The BPM side should be improved. It would be beneficial to have more ability to customize features for specific use…
Mehdi Hasankhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products
WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
 

Cons

"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"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."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Its functions need more stability."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
