Maurice Riverso - PeerSpot reviewer

Our our official repository and it has disposal management and retention management
The security architecture is the only problem as it's a little bit complex and too torturous at times. So it could be improved a little bit, but it is regarded as a very good system in Australia. It's probably overly subscribed. Also, what's missing is what people would like, which is basically online collaboration. That's a problem. But it has so many other things to offer that SharePoint, I'm sure, will not have. So, that will be an interesting issue to come up. It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft. That's a bit of a problem with Content Manager. They're kind of very volatile. So, that's been definitely something that could be improved.

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

"HPE Content Manager provides organizations with a reliable system for managing massive amounts of information, in a structured, compliant and secure way, with a level of functionality and reliability that I have not seen matched by custom-built or other systems."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search, sort and retrieve using metadata; in particular, the ability to create custom reports using the print merge functionality as per the requests that are issued from clients."
"An advantage is integration with your IP directory."
"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."
"It helps us in terms of efficiency when working with multiple people at the same time, on the same case."
"Sharing of documents, reduction of duplication, and the ability to manage retention, disposition and overall records management have been significant benefits for our organization."
"This creates a more sustainable, competitive, government compliant, and secure solution in the long term which pays off on the investment."
"We are required to have a robust Records Management system, and it does this job."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"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."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"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."
 

Cons

"It has extensive configuration restrictions for administrators and file extension limitations. Clunky in look and feel."
"This system eats up a lot of staff time for support, administration, and use."
"Many projects I've worked on encounter issues in production relating to load balancing and throttling where systems cannot cope with the volumes and capacity of transactional processing."
"The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made."
"The product could improve its scalability."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
"It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft."
"Pricing is an issue, as it is too expensive."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"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."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"I would like to see better performance."
"Its functions need more stability."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
"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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
