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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
"Our accounts department's invoicing process has been optimized and this has helped us in saving a lot of time."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."
"It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn."
"For a records management system, Content Manager is a really good system."
"HPE Content Manager provides organizations with a reliable system for managing massive amounts of information, in a structured, compliant and secure way, with a level of functionality and reliability that I have not seen matched by custom-built or other systems."
"The product allows us to run our Notice of Destructions seamlessly and produces our annual folders with ease."
"This is a wonderful product with many options."
"My advice to others is that they cannot go wrong with the solution."
"Eliminated the need for paper records."
 

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"The Arabic language text search ability needs to be improved."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"It has extensive configuration restrictions for administrators and file extension limitations. Clunky in look and feel."
"The ease of use should be addressed."
"It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft."
"Many users have expressed that it is too hard to find what they are looking for."
"The product could improve its scalability."
"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"We've had it for a year now, and since we started implementation it has been, to say softly, a nightmare."
"Pricing is an issue, as it is too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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 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."
