We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and OpenText Documentum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"OpenText Documentum has improved availability and performance in our organization."
"The documentation must be improved."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"The user interface can be improved."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
"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."
"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."
"The user interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"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."
