"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""The user interface can be improved.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
