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 feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"It is quite good."
"In terms of sub-products/components, the most valuable features are definitely Content Server and DFC."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform."
"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"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."
 

Cons

"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."
"The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing."
"Several sub-products, like RMA and RPS are really bad stability-wise and many other aspects."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
"It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Its functions need more stability."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite an expensive product."
"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"The product is expensive."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"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."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
