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 is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"The stability is very good, and sometimes we have connection issues with the DocBase Java Method Servers or DocBroker services because our project is about 400 megabytes and very big, but the designer works hard to resolve it."
"In terms of sub-products/components, the most valuable features are definitely Content Server and DFC."
"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."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"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."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
 

Cons

"Documentum xCP 2.3 still has some drawbacks such as dependent filtration among multiple drop down lists in result list, unable to access all user tasks from all processes in user inbox, and unable to include task link in task notification mail automatically."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."
"Open Text's technical support is lacking. There isn't enough community support."
"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 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."
"We get our support from a partner, not from them directly. I don't like the consultancy, they don't have a lot of experience but they sell this solution."
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"I would like to see better performance."
"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."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
 

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's pricing is good."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
