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…

Offers version control capabilities, easy to set up but highly-priced
The main thing is the cost. Most of the time, organizations move away from Documentum due to cost. It's highly-priced, and the support costs are high. Now, SharePoint and other options. Microsoft gives free licenses, so organizations mainly look for cost-effective products. The second thing is updates and patching. We patch very often, every six months or a year. We have SP1, SP2, and SP3, and then suddenly, it's moved out of support. That's the organization's main pain area. They don't want to keep investing from a storage perspective. The licensing model should be changed. The product itself is out of support. They have not considered it for AI initiatives. The new version should be on the cloud. I'm not sure if the new version of Documentum, xECM, is cloud compatible or on which cloud it is compatible, but the OpenText server itself is on a cloud, which would be beneficial to the business. And it would also be easier for migration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"The Mobius Content Management Services platform has greatly improved our productivity, taking our time from creation to access from, at times, minutes to expose, to milliseconds to expose, with reports immediately accessible at generation."
"Archiving is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
 

Cons

"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"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."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"The user interface can be improved. Searching for documents is complex and should be easier."
"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
"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."
"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."
"Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"It is quite an expensive product."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."
