Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"In terms of scalability, Documentum is a very good product; it's scalable, flexible, and reliable."
"It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"The price of Documentum could be lower. It's quite high compared to its competitors."
"The user interface can be improved. Searching for documents is complex and should be easier."
"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."
"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."
