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.

Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The scalability is a valuable feature, that we're able to display our documents to so many people."
"I am going to continue using it because it is a good product for enterprise document management."
"IBM Enterprise Content Management suite (ICN 2.0.3 for FileNet CM 5.2.1) is an enterprise-ready robust collaboration solution for knowledge workers that would meet the broad needs of the entire enterprise (e.g., document-records management, search, scanning (Datacap), cloud ready, etc.), compared to the other competitors' offerings in the market."
"The vertical scalability, as we can use it across some of our applications."
"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."
"We've used CMOD or its predecessor for 25 years, so that's pretty stable."
"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."
"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
 

Cons

"There are definitely challenges. It's not an easy solution."
"Technical support is pretty good. It's a crap shoot."
"It didn't implement as easy as we had hoped. We had some partner issues."
"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."
"ACCE and some of the other UI is not very intuitive for new users."
"I think we need to see less dependence on Java, and get away from those applets."
"With Datacap, the development piece should definitely be improved; the usability. It's a little hard to use."
"I would like to see seamless application integration."
"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
