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 scalability of Datacap is amazing; we really like it."
"The content management is all about you as you can make the same content for minimal purpose solutions applications."
"We've used CMOD or its predecessor for 25 years, so that's pretty stable."
"The vertical scalability, as we can use it across some of our applications."
"The scalability is a valuable feature, that we're able to display our documents to so many people."
"FileNet/IBM really excels when you get into the hundreds of thousands – the millions – of documents, and having some structure and some metadata on those documents."
"The most valuable features are the enterprise scaling capabilities."
"I am going to continue using it because it is a good product for enterprise document management."
"Our accounts department's invoicing process has been optimized and this has helped us in saving a lot of time."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
 

Cons

"Technical support is pretty good. It's a crap shoot."
"We’d like for it to be able to ingest reports that were created on the distributed side and get them into the same repository, where you have one repository for all reports."
"The development platform is not local. For example, you need 100 days in IBM, whereas other platforms, like ServiceNow, need only 20 days."
"With Datacap, the development piece should definitely be improved; the usability. It's a little hard to use."
"Datacap is a very complex system. It is very much an ease-of-use issue."
"It didn't implement as easy as we had hoped. We had some partner issues."
"However, I've heard from other users, other IBM customers, that's not necessarily the case. Nothing out of the box can really be used immediately."
"I would like to see seamless application integration."
"The Arabic language text search ability needs to be improved."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reach out to local IBM partners.​"
