"Find an alternative, if you can."
What do you like best about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

I am not really certain if there is anything at all about this application that I liked. It is compliance-approved by the government agencies, which frequently makes it a software of choice for compliance purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

Hands down, this has to be the worst software I've worked with in my 17 years in IT. If you are looking for "configure and forget" package, this is not the one for you. Frequent breaks, cludgy and graphically outdated interface, constant need to hand-tune. This software was an incredible struggle to set up, build, configure, and maintain. If there is any alternative out there, I would use that, instead of Documentum. If you plan to implement Documentum in your environment, make sure you have a budget for an experienced full-time administrator, and a senior full-time Documentum programmer. The upgrades are non-trivial, and testing an upgrade will be a major project. All your Documentum applications will need to be recompiled, and likely, re-coded and regression-tested when you upgrade. It is not uncommon to see organizations with 5-7 year-old version in production because of extremely difficult upgrade path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Information Security is the Key"
What do you like best about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

Security – Security can be managed on a document level but, out of the box, the security is not tied to document status as is typically setup with a Documentum lifecycle and ACL. For example, with a Documentum lifecycle, you can set up that users cannot update when pending approval, can not edit when approved/effective, but can edit in Draft. In SharePoint, out of the box users can edit no matter what the document status value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Documentum Content Management?

Office Integration – SharePoint has superior Microsoft Office integration to Documentum alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
