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.

Centralized collaboration has transformed intranet projects but search and mobile still need work
Workflow in Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has helped my teams by using it for Sharepoint access request forms. The workflow I use involves submission, and when the submission happens, there is an approval of the form. Approval goes to the manager, and once he approves it, it goes to the next phase. For final acceptance, we send it to an end user so he can check mark on it or indicate that the work is done. These are the approval processes we utilize, including out-of-the-box email approval and alerts sent by the system. Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has saved time and improved productivity by enabling cost-saving measures. When using one place for all documents, your team can see everything in the latest mode. All they need to do is click the link to access the same place, and follow-up conversations occur on the same page. It definitely saves a lot of time and energy for teams, allowing them to focus less on email exchanges and more on project tasks. Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has positively impacted my organization by providing very good collaboration capability. It includes a list, calendar, permissions, and everything that works great for everyone. It offers one centralized place, so there is no need to configure or go to multiple places looking for the same information. Once I update information, everybody syncs on the same data. It also enables tracking changes, restoring previous versions, maintaining document history, and sharing team calendars, organizing the same vision with different kinds of access. This feature definitely contributes to good progress in teams, making it very useful for any organization. Best features Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 offers include a list and permission capability, team collaboration capability, workflow and approval process capability. All of these capabilities are fantastic, including version control and permission-based access, providing one centralized place where everybody can see everything and update it. If we need to revert back, version control is there, and we can see how much use case it is. It is very efficient for business users. I am a Sharepoint user for a long time, so all of those features are fantastic.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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."
"It's given us compliance, the ability to go to cloud or to stay on-prem, it's at the forefront of technology with new products that give us new functionality and business capabilities, and IBM has fantastic, reliable support that has backed us over the years."
"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 content management is all about you as you can make the same content for minimal purpose solutions applications."

Cons

"I think it's already getting away from Java applets. A lot of our users struggle with keeping up to date with Java versioning, so a lot of the functions they're doing, like printing, emailing, and even some of the viewing, they're struggling with."
"More importantly, it is sometimes overly complex, and requires a lot of work from the infrastructure and administration standpoint; a lot of hands-on patches."
"It didn't implement as easy as we had hoped. We had some partner issues."

"I would like to see seamless application integration."
