Director Consulting SAP OpenText en Entelgy at DCL Consultores EIM SL
Has provided deep integration with business applications and supported full content lifecycle management
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application. Without connecting to the leading application, for example SAP, you can navigate between all documentation, having a full 360-degree view of all information related to the process. This means that when you create some action regarding an object that has a connected document in the content management system, you can automatically see additional information connected, managed and controlled by the leading application, with automatic reflection in the document management system. This is a unique advantage that OpenText Content Management has, which is not found in the market. Another unique feature is the integration with Office 365, where you can work with different folders or binders in the document management system and connect to Teams in a simple way, making all this information available in the Teams you are working with. Digital Asset Management is a big part of the content management solution within OpenText Content Management, allowing full integration of all documentation, pictures, plans, and technical documentation if you have asset management inside SAP. It connects similarly to other modules of SAP but includes a special feature for asset management from a technical point of view and connects with the engineering department, providing the full life cycle from development through deployment to maintenance. This means you have the full life cycle from the beginning when you define the solution, construct it, and finally transfer it to maintenance to keep all information updated easily, avoiding risks and ensuring access to accurate information at the right moment.

Built-in integrations increase efficiency but cluster support requires improvement
On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments. Multiple instances need to be set up and configured. In the cloud environment, improvements are ongoing. The fallback and benefit assessment of the product suggest a need for a rating of seven or eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."
"It's a very good solution."
"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information."
"All the information is now stored in a central repository that is accessible to everyone."
"OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"There are competitors out there, but there's a lot that Oracle Cloud offers outside of giving you just a basic database or basic infrastructure-as-a-service that add a lot of value to it."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
 

Cons

"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."
"A few years ago, it would have rated as a ten, but there was a shift to a new support platform that led to significant issues."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"The product is pricey."
"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."
"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
