Thinh Tran - PeerSpot reviewer
BPM Consultant at TECHCOMBANK
Has supported enterprise document storage but lacks cloud readiness and AI capabilities
The new version of IBM ECM is at the end of support, and we need to migrate to a new version to get open support. We need AI capabilities from IBM ECM for additional functionalities in the next release. Specifically, AI is needed for finding documents. The trend is moving toward AI, and for managing many documents effectively, we need AI capabilities. Currently, IBM ECM only handles physical files, not unstructured files. IBM needs to work alongside customers and share best practices for IBM ECM. Reading the IBM Redbook alone is not sufficient for the knowledge we need to build the best architecture for my company. IBM ECM needs to improve the cloud version, such as compatibility with Amazon Cloud, not only IBM Cloud, to make their product more competitive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is a very stable solution with high availability and no information leakage. It has built-in API integration on-site. You can integrate with other components and applications like SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, etc."
"Case Manager’s most valuable feature is its ability to store all of our documents in a single place that we can give the business lines access to."
"This is a good and stable solution; it is a solution that you can trust and is, indeed, the best solution that we found out there."
"We were using an old technology and with the move to FileNet, we now have new capabilities, new features, and a new roadmap."
"It has allowed us to take all of our faxes and put them directly into our systems versus having to print them off first and then scan them in, greatly speeding up our front-end processing and making us a lot more efficient."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise scaling capabilities."
"We have been using it for awhile for the content management purposes of some of the bank's co-functionality, and we have not seen many issues lately, thus, so far, so good in terms of performance."
"It has definitely improved the way our organization functions."
"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."
"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"Archiving is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The Mobius Content Management Services platform has greatly improved our productivity, taking our time from creation to access from, at times, minutes to expose, to milliseconds to expose, with reports immediately accessible at generation."
 

Cons

"There are definitely challenges. It's not an easy solution."
"Datacap is a very complex system. It is very much an ease-of-use issue."
"Technical support is pretty good. It's a crap shoot."
"I would like to see seamless application integration."
"We abandoned our Case manager solution as it was so complex and cost-prohibitive for us."
"ACCE and some of the other UI is not very intuitive for new users."
"With Datacap, the development piece should definitely be improved; the usability. It's a little hard to use."
"I would recommend not going with ECM 8 and going with FileNet instead. It seems like that is the future of the lower-volume repository. It seems like they are moving away from ECM 8.5 so I think we're going to have some challenges coming up, getting off of that technology."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"When the new version is available, the vendor should make it easier for upgrading this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reach out to local IBM partners.​"
"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
