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

"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"The extra value for both solutions is adding workflow managers, similar to business process management systems, where you can verify flows and sign off documents."
"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."
"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."
"OpenText is a very strong offering from the engineering management side, as well with its SAP integration."
"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."
"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."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"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 WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
 

Cons

"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."
"The overall architecture is still a bit cumbersome. The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
"Compatibility with external source code management tools like RTC is missing. Improvement in analytics and machine learning would help in getting a more holistic view of content."
"More out-of-the-box automation features should be added to OpenText Extended ECM."
"Its functions need more stability."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"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."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"I would like to see better performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."
"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."
"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 product is pricey."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."
"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."
"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
"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."
