Improving data accessibility and security through enhanced interface design
In my current role, we use Mobius to capture data. We are partnered with the government, and the Mobius app is used to ensure accurate data capture. We use it alongside Salesforce to document our clients' entire process as they go through programs, capturing details of their work journey Mobius…

Our our official repository and it has disposal management and retention management
The security architecture is the only problem as it's a little bit complex and too torturous at times. So it could be improved a little bit, but it is regarded as a very good system in Australia. It's probably overly subscribed. Also, what's missing is what people would like, which is basically online collaboration. That's a problem. But it has so many other things to offer that SharePoint, I'm sure, will not have. So, that will be an interesting issue to come up. It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft. That's a bit of a problem with Content Manager. They're kind of very volatile. So, that's been definitely something that could be improved.

"The most valuable features of OpenText Content Manager are its stability, reliability, security, and workflow engine."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search, sort and retrieve using metadata; in particular, the ability to create custom reports using the print merge functionality as per the requests that are issued from clients."
"Eliminated the need for paper records."
"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."
"There many ways that this application has improved our organization. The most significant is the reduction in paper generation and the ability to electronically annotate and manage all our documents."
"This creates a more sustainable, competitive, government compliant, and secure solution in the long term which pays off on the investment."
 

Cons

"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"When the new version is available, the vendor should make it easier for upgrading this product."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
"This web client requires more refinement to be viable as a desktop client replacement."
"Pricing is an issue, as it is too expensive."
"I would like to see an improvement in the licensing process. It is very complicated and it seems to involve many different people throughout the entire process."
"It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft."
"The product could improve its scalability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
