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

"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"We use this for documentation management, as it provides possibilities for us to save documents and support the business process while doing so."
"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."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
 

Cons

"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"The user interface can be improved. Searching for documents is complex and should be easier."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."
"The interface is not user-friendly, new meta data classes are not easy to create."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"I would like to see better performance."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"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."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is quite an expensive product."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"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."
"The price needs to be lowered."
