Consultant In Risk Management and Performance Improvemenf at Deloitte Risk Advisory
User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is secure, we can store all of our documents in a central location, and we don't have any plans to change."
"We use this for documentation management, as it provides possibilities for us to save documents and support the business process while doing so."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The price of Documentum could be lower. It's quite high compared to its competitors."
"When Dell EMC had the technical support, it was better in terms of response and resolution. After the acquisition of Documentum from Dell EMC to OpenText the support became not as good in terms of responses and resolutions."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"Open Text's technical support is lacking. There isn't enough community support."
"The interface is not user-friendly, new meta data classes are not easy to create."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."
