  ### 12. FileNet Content Manager - Best of the best

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2019

**What do you like best about IBM FileNet Content Manager?**

Consistant is the main word I would use to describe FileNet.  It just works.  The amount of content that is ingested for my business is quite massive and to have Content Manager ingesting and classifying and storing that content never fails.  

**What do you dislike about IBM FileNet Content Manager?**

The only part of Content Manager that is incredibly difficult is its licencing.  It is impossible to understand and once you do they change the model again.  That is why you need a business partner to help navigate through the nonsence.  Additionally the interaction with other applications especially those from Microsoft and that reside in the cloud isnt the best, however, its on the horizon.

**What problems is IBM FileNet Content Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allowing individuals that are out in the field to be able to ingest and view content while on a tablet or ipad sitting in their car or at a coffee shop is invalueable.

It would be nice to go back and deprecate some of the more ancient stuff and clean it up while you're there.

**What problems is IBM FileNet Content Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

IBM FileNet Content Manager is in pretty much every Fortune 500's data center, whether on-site, in the cloud or heading towards the latter as we speak. Pick an industry - finance, insurance, telecom, energy, government - if there's a lot of it, FileNet's there.

FileNet provides both document management and business process management functionalities. FileNet provides robust out of the box tools for end users (IBM Content Navigator) and for admins(ACCE) to store and classify documents. It has a great set of connectors for data migration to and from Kofax, XML import/export, Emails, Sharepoint, scanners, file systems, etc. Perfectly works with Oracle, DB2, SQL, MSSQL databases, IBM WebSphere, WebLogic, JBoss application servers, allows to configure data model and user permissions as detailed as you may need. It provides tools to design workflow with integration with core applications.

Collaborating documents with external users force you to send the document via email or requires the external users to have FileNet license. Other ECM products solve this problem easily like Box.com. Cloud deployment is not well practiced.

I have used this software for past 10 years and implemented this solution to multiple clients who have stored documents from multiple business units like HR, Accounts payable, IT, Contracts, etc. I have designed applications to allow access to documents only to certain groups.
