Cons
"The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made.""Support could be enhanced.

More OpenText Content Manager Cons →

"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times.""The vertical application could be improved.""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."
