Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability 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

"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."
"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."
"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."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
 

Cons

"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"More out-of-the-box automation features should be added to OpenText Extended ECM."
"Also, the support from OpenText is really difficult. Honestly, I had a very bad experience on this."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"Its functions need more stability."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"I would like to see better performance."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"
"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 pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"The solution is expensive."
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
