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.

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

"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the management."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"The stability is very good."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"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 WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
 

Cons

"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
"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."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard."
"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."
"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."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"Its functions need more stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"It is quite an expensive product."
