Saves time and increases an organization's productivity
It's a great enterprise content management product. Our customers love the product for its stability and scalability. Search is the most useful feature of the solution. The way we retrieve documents is more important than how we store them. There's no use if we can't find a document. It's the most critical feature. My organization works with other customers. We are consultants for OpenText. Our customers have seen a lot of benefits in terms of regulatory compliance. Industries like banking are highly regulated. The product captures the information centrally so everybody in the bank can see the right information at the right time. It is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful with legal issues.

Cons

"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."

"The user interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
