User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"Using Documentum products such as ContentServer, xCP, and Captiva, over 90 large-scale business processes and applications have been successfully implemented to move forward to a paperless organization, fully integrated with our Oracle E-Business Suite and custom enterprise systems built in-house."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"In terms of scalability, Documentum is a very good product; it's scalable, flexible, and reliable."
"We use this for documentation management, as it provides possibilities for us to save documents and support the business process while doing so."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
 

Cons

"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"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."
"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
"The licensing model should be changed."
"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."
"The user interface can be improved. Searching for documents is complex and should be easier."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"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."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is considered affordable now."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"It is quite an expensive product."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"The product is expensive."
"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
