Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has come up with a web portal that makes it easy to model and show to clients.""Object oriented modeling allows us to trace what's going on with the specified object.""Collaboration and governance over enterprise artifacts.""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect.""There is a really powerful reporting API that allows you to create almost any kind of report you want out of your process and document repository.""BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation.""ARIS BPA has a good directory option, which helps to keep track of all of your metadata, and that's very useful.""Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier.​"

"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum.""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.""It is quite good.""Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform.""We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability.""The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents.""It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so.""The most valuable feature is the management."

Cons
"I believe the solutions BPM tools are not very good and need improvements.""There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow.""ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model.""Sometimes, ARIS BPA breaks down, and its stability can be improved.""The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews.""With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting.""Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration.""Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit.""One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site.""The vertical application could be improved.""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.""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."
