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…

I would like to see improvements in the web client and the workflow engine.
I think that the biggest area for improvement is for their core component, the Java Core Server (JCS). In addition, there could be improvement in the following areas: * Saperion web client: Does not support many rich-client features and is inconsistent between thin and thick clients * The VBA macro API was very poor * No real toolset provided * No debugging options * Workflow engine * No official and supported procedure of deploying/moving a solution between stages, which was officially stated by the vendor
