"Powerful, Enterprise-grade Content Management"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

Documentum is a true workhorse for enterprise content management, especially in regulated industries. Three things stand out:

Robustness and Scalability: It is incredibly powerful and can handle massive volumes of documents and complex taxonomies without breaking a sweat. Its ability to manage billions of objects is impressive.

Granular Security and Compliance: The control over who can see, edit, and approve documents is second to none. The detailed audit trails and version control are essential for compliance and records management, giving us peace of mind.

Powerful Workflow Engine: The ability to automate complex, multi-stage business processes is a core strength. We use it to route critical documents for review and approval, which streamlines operations and reduces manual errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

Outdated User Interface: The user interface feels clunky and is not as intuitive as modern cloud-based solutions. This leads to a steep learning curve for new users and requires significant training.

High Cost and Complexity: Documentum is an expensive product, not just in licensing but also in the specialized IT resources required to administer and maintain it. Upgrades can be complex and time-consuming.

Slow Performance: At times, especially when performing complex searches or accessing very large files, the system can feel sluggish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Documentum Content Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

The primary problem OpenText solves for us is creating a single, secure source of truth for all our critical business documents. Before, our files were scattered across various network drives and systems, leading to version control nightmares and compliance risks.

With Opentext, we have centralized document control, which has dramatically improved our operational efficiency. We can enforce consistent business processes through automated workflows, ensuring that all necessary reviews and approvals happen in the correct sequence. This has been hugely beneficial for audit preparedness and has reduced the time it takes to locate and process essential information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and configurable way to manage documents and content"

5/5

The content management in Documentum is straightforward and simple. It allows users to configure based on industry and structure it through stakeholder's desired category Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

The interface and color are the same and cannot be configured. It is used more on the user's folder structure. Also, the organization will have to asses thoroughly the permission access since the ACL applied is inherited by the subfolders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Documentum Content Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

"It is a stable and scalable platform that can generate a significant ROI in productivity and agility"

4/5

What do you like best about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

Integration with the users' desktop. As well as speed and simplicity in use. On the other hand, being very interactive, adoption is simple. This offers great competitiveness with other existing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

In reality, the tool offers many, many functionalities, so what it could really contribute is in terms of the necessary investment that must be made for its implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Documentum Content Management:

Basically, to implement Documentun, as we had the opportunity to do in 2005 at EDELCA (Caroni electrification, later called CORPOELEC), for a company with more than 7,000 workers and three hydroelectric dams, it was necessary to carry out a significant preparation process. On that occasion, we used the partner Xerox, who supported us in collecting the information that was required for the survey of workflows. That is why a planning phase is very important and the larger the company, the more important it is to prepare for that implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Documentum Content Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

By having the electronic document available and online we can save significantly on efficiency, in fact it is said that we are effective to the extent that we can have the documents less than two meters away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good but expensive"

3/5

What do you like best about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

It's easy to use, and easily available and it's easy to manage the documents with the help of this tool. The best part is you can add as many tags as you want in order to differentiate your important documents from the less important ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

I felt it is too expensive and if an individual user wants to use it then they probably can't also with same services there are other tools available in the market which are comparatively reasonable so why would someone purchase this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Documentum Content Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this tool for managing my personal documents as it's easy to recover it from this tool and sort it because of the different tagging option available. I don't need to keep on worrying about finding the documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product"

3.5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

We tried this out to sort all the documentation. Overall a great CMS system to sort our messy files on google docs. It is hard to find a good product these days. A lot of features... more than we needed for our workflows. We really needed a central hub for securely storing content and organize biz processes and flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

We opted out since the pricing was out of range and we were tight on finances in a mini team. The look of the product is a bit bland, but it does the basics that we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Documentum Content Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

This product helped with collective collaboration. We saved hundreds of hours through not having to sort from goggle docs important and updated workflows and massive amount of web content.

We reduced our risks and helped everyone work faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
