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.

Easy to store information and maintan workflow but we use QlikView for reporting because built in reporting is poor.
Workflow Reorganized the workflow for purchase invoice. My customer uses version 6, I haven't seen the new one. If it hasn't yet been upgraded in the new version, I feel that the interface can be improved to be more windows like. Since 2008 We didn't have any deployment issues. While version 5…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use this for documentation management, as it provides possibilities for us to save documents and support the business process while doing so."
"It is quite good."
"It is easy to develop a VPN and UI."
"We use it as a repository of our records."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"We didn't experience any issues with the initial setup, it was easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"When Dell EMC had the technical support, it was better in terms of response and resolution. After the acquisition of Documentum from Dell EMC to OpenText the support became not as good in terms of responses and resolutions."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."
"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."
"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"The user interface can be improved. Searching for documents is complex and should be easier."
"Customer Service: 5/10. The supplier is slow to answer but now it's better with a self employed consultant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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