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 product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"The stability is very good."
"OpenText Documentum has improved availability and performance in our organization."
"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"It is quite good."
"It is secure, we can store all of our documents in a central location, and we don't have any plans to change."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"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 solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"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."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"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."
 

Cons

"When Dell EMC had the technical support, it was better in terms of response and resolution. After the acquisition of Documentum from Dell EMC to OpenText the support became not as good in terms of responses and resolutions."
"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"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."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"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."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Its functions need more stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."

"The price is considered affordable now."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
