I have experience working with OpenText Content Management. This is part of the Content Management with Extended ECM, and the latest solution released by OpenText Content Management, Core Content, fulfills this feature too with Salesforce and SAP, fully connected with Office 365. Currently, most of our solutions are typically deployed in an on-premise scenario. However, following market demands, many are moving to the cloud. The challenge with cloud deployment is the hidden costs, often referred to as iceberg costs that lie beneath the surface, such as traffic costs or volume costs, depending on the kind of solution you are using and its purpose. We actively promote the transition of solutions to the cloud for many customers. I rate OpenText Content Management 9 out of 10.

I rate OpenText extended ECM between six and seven overall. The solution is good yet needs to evolve to keep up with market trends. It is particularly suitable for large enterprises due to its cost and complexity.

Our organization has the flexibility to use any kind of database as OpenText Extended ECM supports multiple database partners. At our company, we utilize Microsoft SQL along with OpenText Extended ECM. The solution offers immense flexibility and integration possibilities, at our company we previously integrated SharePoint with OpenText Extended ECM. The record management feature of the solution has helped my organization enhance the compliance or regulatory processes. This full-blown feature integrates easily with OpenText Document Management System, and this combination can be used to manage the lifecycle of the records or documents. The major use of the solution has been to organize documents, previously scattered everywhere, some employees saved them on the desktop, some on local drives and IT solutions, which often led to discrepancies in our organization. Our company was looking for a single application to manage all documents and then we adopted OpenText Extended ECM. Our company is working on a plant and thus also needs to organize all engineering sketches at a single source. I would recommend OpenText Extended ECM to other users, depending on their budget. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten overall.

To a colleague at another company who says they do not need Extended ECM because they are invested in Microsoft solutions, I would say that we too are a Microsoft shop, but there are a lot of things that are limited. Years ago, we tried to do some of the things years with SharePoint and fell flat. It just did not have enough features. It could not do all the things. Now with Teams as the front end, it is a little bit better in terms of usability, but you do not get the same capabilities, options, and extensibility that you get with OpenText products. In general, you will have to work a lot harder to do the same things, and then you are going to have gaps in terms of certain things that you cannot do. Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

From my perspective, we are working with two solutions. For both IBM FileNet and OpenText ECM, I was the accountant manager and a place where you can store electronic documentation. The extra value for both solutions is adding workflow managers, similar to business process management systems. You can verify flows and sign off documents. I am not sure if I will continue to use this solution in the future. It depends on the business requirements. If somebody were to ask me which product is better, I think that both are okay and they should verify the business needs then decide which model of pricing or which performance is better for the company. I would recommend this solution, and if I am considering an enterprise solution, both Open Text ECM and IBM are the same, it depends on what the customer's needs are. I would rate Open Text ECM a nine out of ten.
