Have integrated diverse content sources and reduced legacy system costs through structured archiving
There is still a belief that OpenText, of course improving as every other vendor does, could see a little bit more improvement in AI involvement and scenarios. It is good in small scope, but improvement for large scope as well would be valuable. This is something that is missed a little bit. Otherwise, it is evolving quite well and still on top of the market. The most critical part regarding OpenText Information Archive is that OpenText is very strong, but the current packaging is already offering very strong capabilities in the smallest package. Of course, the price corresponds to the capabilities. Some customers would prefer to have fewer capabilities for a more affordable price. This is generally true for every single vendor of this kind. For big customers who have big requirements for the largest enterprises, it is reasonable. However, it really cuts out the companies which are at the edge between medium business and enterprises because those are maybe not looking for so advanced solutions from the functionality perspective.

Archives emails and files, providing indexes for searching the archives
The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature found in OpenText Information Archive is the complexity it covers, which means you can use almost any kind of data by integrating it with the original source and easily doing that into a unified content management system."
"It has a strong XML engine for reading data and making it indexed and searchable."
"The tool streamlines data discovery processes for compliance by setting up a gateway to copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. This ensures that even if a user deletes their mailbox, the emails are still available in the archive, making it a compliant solution for monitoring all incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, it offers the ability to place legal holds on important emails."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"It requires a decent amount of XL mapping."
"Some customers would prefer to have fewer capabilities for a more affordable price."
"Technical support could be better."
"The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is expensive, and I rate its price as eight out of ten. It might not be very expensive. However, comparing it with something that's free or already included in the price is challenging, like the Office 365 archive mailbox. Previously, this was part of the subscription price. Now, it's an additional cost, typically covered by departments like legal or compliance rather than IT."
