"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."
"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."

"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."

"The user interface can be improved."
"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"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 needs to improve its support."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"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."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important."
"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."
"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
