We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is quite good.""The stability is very good.""The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues.""The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role.""The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum.""It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions.""The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents.""OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."

"It's easy and fast. It's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes. You just have to send them a URL and to have a process in front of them. I don't use all of the possibilities we have in Signavio. This has made it easier for people to adopt, because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process. They are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves. There are many more interactions between the process teams and Signavio than in our previous solution, where you had to hire in a professional process modeler. It's been a great improvement.""This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning.""The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company.""When comparing my experience with Celonis and Signavio, I can discern the distinctions between these two platforms. However, I'm unable to differentiate between ARAs and add-ons, as that falls outside my scope of familiarity. Regarding Celonis, it comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. Notably, it boasts robust features like action flows, task mining, and seamless integration with AML programming. Conversely, Signavio lacks action flows and instead relies on action segments and tasks for interaction. This discrepancy is a significant factor setting Selenium and SecureView apart. In the context of Signavio, it offers a combination of BPMN and process discovery, a feature absent in Celonis. This tandem of BPMN and process insight contributes to Signavio’S potency. Meanwhile, Celonis primarily features the process miner tool, setting it apart from Signavio. These variations collectively outline the numerous differences existing between Celonis and Signavio.""The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need.""I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model.""As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package.""One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."

Cons
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it.""The vertical application could be improved.""OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit.""They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen.""The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs.""One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."

More OpenText Documentum Cons →

"Its reporting feature could have customization options.""There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen.""It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient.""Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good.""We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution.""I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary.""I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us.""The licensing model could be better."
