Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, OpenText, Box and others in Enterprise Content Management."We use IBM Datacap's capabilities to capture data and then we use FileNet's capabilities for filing, to create an archive of documents... We [also] use FileNet's ability to expose information via APIs and interoperate with other systems."
"We have probably cut out at least 40 percent of what the work process was by easing out that whole distribution of paper."

"The important features to me are that it is stable, scalable, and the integration between this platform and the other platforms is very good."
"It is really usable. There is a lot of support for it. You have the online components to trawl through the storage. I have a lot of fun with it."
"It is very user-friendly for business users. They can create their own searches. They are not dependent on administrators to create searches for them. It is self-service for them."
"It is a faster, robust solution. The platform compatibility is very good."
"There is a high degree of usability with this solution. It is highly compatible with our clients' and customers' work environments, making it easy to deploy and implement."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"Ability to share documents."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."

"I would like to see Azure AD added."
"I would rate the technical support as medium. I do not like the login process. It is not great."
"Sometimes, there can be issues with the database connections. FileNet has too many outages because things are broken in the database."
"I would say the installation process can be very complicated, and you need to to have an experience resource."
"We would like to have more automation of rollout solutions."
"I would like IBM to improve with each release, continue moving towards a continual, tighter integration, and build solutions that take advantage of all the different modules the platform has from one place."
"The new user interface is not easy to set up, so some improvements along these lines would be good."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
