Cons
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency.""Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good.""The pricing of the solution can be improved.""The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes.""I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic.""The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve.""The solution's data size limit can be improved.""It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."

More AWS Step Functions Cons →

"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.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it.""OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations.""They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""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."

    Overview

    AWS Step Functions lets you coordinate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows so you can build and update apps quickly. Using Step Functions, you can design and run workflows that stitch together services such as AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS into feature-rich applications. Workflows are made up of a series of steps, with the output of one step acting as input into the next. Application development is simpler and more intuitive using Step Functions, because it translates your workflow into a state machine diagram that is easy to understand, easy to explain to others, and easy to change. You can monitor each step of execution as it happens, which means you can identify and fix problems quickly. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries when there are errors, so your application executes in order and as expected.

    OpenText Documentum organizes, preserves and makes information
    accessible, while ensuring it adheres to all privacy and security
    protocols. Documentum manages content across file stores and integrates
    with enterprise applications, including SAP, Salesforce and Microsoft,
