"This is a wonderful product with many options."

"The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management."
"For a records management system, Content Manager is a really good system."

Cons

"The Arabic language text search ability needs to be improved."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"Microsoft Office disabling the HPE Records Manager integration is an issue."
"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find."
"Many users have expressed that it is too hard to find what they are looking for."
"Functionality gets removed as new versions are released."
"It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft."
"It has extensive configuration restrictions for administrators and file extension limitations. Clunky in look and feel."
"The product could improve its scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"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."
