What do you like best about OpenText Content Management?

As one of SAP largest go-to ECM patrners, I can fully attest to the very strong ECM solution that OpenText brings to the table. I like their UI, their ability to integrate with SAP (and other leading platforms), along with the strong technical skill of people support surrounding their product lines. I have been exposed to other OpenText products as well, such as Portal Site Manager and Portal Content Manager that have strong ties to ECM...the integration you get OOTB with OpenText is amazing. It's literally "point & click" you way to the solution you need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Content Management?

Some of the solutions can be a bit expensive, but I believe OpenText is for the most part, highly competitive on pricing and can get the solution "in the ballpark" of where you need it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Content Management?

My experience with the OpenText Web Content Management and Records Management is that both applications were inuitive and very easy to use and learn even if you no formal training was provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Content Management?

My experience with the web content management system was that it was not compatible with all types of browsers. Not all organisations are able to continually upgrade their browsers due to various reasons for that particular organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Livelink ECM 9.7.1 (Author: Marcus Leja, B.Eng., MLIS, ERMm)"
4/5
What do you like best about OpenText Content Management?

A usable, scalable full-service enterprise content management solution addressing these critical business needs:

1) Document Creation & Control-

2) Records Management

3) Digital Media Management

4) Engineering Drawing Management

5) Physical Object Management

6) Legal Discovery & Support

7) Content Security & Personal Information Protection

All of the OpenText Livelink ECM 9.7 modules are top-tier in functionality and usability by both basic and advanced user communities.

OpenText is a top-tier vendor in offering industry professional support with respect to organizational client issues involving document / records / information management. Their professional support is deeper than just technical implementation delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Content Management?

1) Cost. This is one of the most expensive ECM solutions in the enterprise space and only delivers enough business value for cost to those in large organizations (500+ employees).

2) Small pool of ECM client services solution providers who are officially authorized to provide OpenText deployment and administration services to end-user communities. It's not easy for end-customers to find consulting firms with official Livelink / Content Server certifications.

3) OpenText hasn't fully yet realized the organizational change management requirements beyond technical delivery for the proper organizational adoption of their enterprise products. Their client solutions teams typically do a great job getting the product up and running for customers, but don't do a great job helping them work through the cultural change of unified information management within their organization.

4) Not enough direct industry presence in major customer locations throughout North America (i.e. not just Ontario and California). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for most things - but sometimes you need to get your hands dirty with bespoke development"
4/5
What do you like best about OpenText Content Management?

OT ECM is a real jack of all trades - and also a master of a lot of them too! Flexible to suit most requirements and industries. Additional modules enhance its power and configuration is straight forward and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Content Management?

Configuration of Livelink/ CS10 gets you far - but only to a point. Most projects I have implemented have required a high degree of bespoke customisation/ development via EWS.

Live/ Web reports are not for those seeking a serious reporting tool. Workflow can be tetchy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText Content Management?

Vignette API access is brilliant, you can access data from CDS and present it to whatever front end you wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Content Management?

1. VCM is quite flaky in terms of bulk publishing

2. End point failure is very common in VCM which stacks up the content in the queue until manually clearing the queue. However vignette support's provide a sql script which needs to run against delivery databases to bring the VCM publishing endpoints back in the healthy state Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
