Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The API's extensibility and new user interface are its most valuable features.""It is a user-friendly system and easy to manage for anyone with basic knowledge.""One of our clients, a customer of IBM, rolled out and replaced their existing ECM system with FileNet. Their productivity has increased pretty dramatically.""The application, in terms of durability, has been able to withstand the usage, given that it was installed in 2003 and it's still working.""​I have found that it scales well.""We have made our service routes more efficient, as far as moving work through the system and being able to react to customer situations and needs better by improving things, such as, address and beneficiary changes. I know that we have definitely made improvements in the process.""We are able to find the proper documents which are needed for business processes.""The most useful feature is its persistent storage. Also, the full-text search and attribute searching are valuable."

"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data.""It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."

Cons
"Developers like us have an upgraded interface. That interface does not work in the process that we have today. It hangs and is not user-friendly.""​I would rate the technical support as medium. I do not like the login process. It is not great.""I would like to have an offline DR deployment. If that is doable, then it would be a big win.""The analytics in FileNet are too complicated and they consume too much infrastructure, memory, and CPU. They're too expensive to work with.""In Content Navigator we want to see the ability to view different types of video... We are using HTML 5 but it's very limited... We definitely want to see support for most types of video formats in the market.""Currently, our primary ERP system is SAP S/4HANA. Despite this, we have encountered difficulties integrating the solution with it, which remains an unresolved challenge for our team.""I think it's to the point where there are probably too many features. Every software, as it matures and graduates, grows the list of features. What many of our customers express is that it's just too complicated. They're using maybe five or ten percent of the features but they're having to pay for 100 percent. There is room for improvement in terms of simplifying it.""Needs a better administration tool."

"Sales and service need to be more consistent.""The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The biggest issue is the cost of the FileNet, because the license cost is very high. If a customer doesn't have good technical guides that are aware of the license calculation, they will pay too much. FileNet's license calculation depends on the processor and number of users. So my advice to a new customer is to be very careful with your calculations before purchasing FileNet."
  • "It is still a leading ECM solution provider, however the cost to implement and maintain are higher than other solutions."
  • "FileNet is not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for. ​"
  • "For small scale industries, they allow different options. They can do open source. It is the complexity of the data security that they should think about before they choose."
  • "For the medium scale or large scale, I would recommend FileNet. FileNet is free of licensing expenses, thus good for the money. It is not expensive, but worth for the money, especially for medium scale and large scale industries."
  • "​There are lots of components to the product. Make sure before you invest that you know which components you need.​​"
  • "1. It will be more expensive than estimated to setup. 2. You will need to double the staff while you are running the old system and installing the new system. 3. Depending on the number of documents to be migrated, make sure you understand the potentially massive amount of time and effort required to migrate the existing content to the new platform."
  • "The physical space that we have gained back pays for the service. Therefore, it has reduced our operating costs overall. We have definitely seen ROI. I would estimate $30,000 a year."

  • "The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
