It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people.""Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform.""We primarily use it for storing documents.

Cons
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good.""They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard.""The vertical application could be improved."

More OpenText Documentum Cons →

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""Its functions need more stability.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
