Saves time and increases an organization's productivity

It's a great enterprise content management product. Our customers love the product for its stability and scalability. Search is the most useful feature of the solution. The way we retrieve documents is more important than how we store them. There's no use if we can't find a document. It's the most critical feature. My organization works with other customers. We are consultants for OpenText. Our customers have seen a lot of benefits in terms of regulatory compliance. Industries like banking are highly regulated. The product captures the information centrally so everybody in the bank can see the right information at the right time. It is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful with legal issues.

Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products

WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."

"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."

"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."

"The most valuable feature is the management."

"The product is user-friendly."

"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."

"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."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."

Cons

"The vertical application could be improved."

"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."

"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."

"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."

"The BPM side should be improved."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is considered affordable now."

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."

"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."

"It is quite an expensive product."

"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 product is expensive."

"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."

"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."
