Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Liferay and others in Corporate Portals (Enterprise Information Portals)."The interface is good....I didn't face any issues with the scalability. It was very good."
"What I like the most is the Wiki software that comes with Atlassian Confluence."
"A simple tool for developers to write and record team decisions explaining the product that they are creating."
"With Confluence, everything is in one place, so it's easy to find documentation."
"It is a very popular tool."
"The scalability is enough for our use cases. It covers all our needs."
"It's easy to use and you can create all types of pages."
"The customization that Confluence offers is one of its most useful features. You can customise it based on the specific project you are working on. It also supports multiple languages."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform."
"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"When you are creating a table in Confluence, there is no tool to export it into Excel sheet for quick references. We can only export it as an a PDF file, but not into an editable file."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"The product is considered expensive."
"There is room for improvement in maybe the tree structure for articles. If you have a lot of articles, it becomes difficult to navigate."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"Confluence could incorporate stronger records management and automation features. The current management structure is too open, which becomes an issue."
"RAM usage seems to be higher than it should be."
"This is kind of by design, however, the lack of control in terms of editing the page to make it look the way you want it to look is an issue. It would be nice if there was more flexibility there."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"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."
"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"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."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved."
