Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most useful feature is its persistent storage. Also, the full-text search and attribute searching are valuable.""It has improved my organization by how we release documents, claims, and policies.""The ability to tag data, as it seems to be indexed well. It is a good space to manage data, keep track of it, and organize it.""The API's extensibility and new user interface are its most valuable features.""FileNet has the capabilities to meet compliance and regulatory requirements. It is very secure.""It has a robust API. We are able to have systems communicate with each other, and do business process automation.""The document collaboration is very good. There is something called Pink Note where departments can collaborate within the document. It has a built-in viewer to see any type of document.""The most valuable features are the interconnectivity and the collaboration. No longer do I have to wonder what system I need to go to for the data I need. I know it's in FileNet."

"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously.""This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."

Cons
"​I would like to see Azure AD added.""If there was more AI capability, into Watson, that would be a benefit.""It needs better collaboration between the IBM teams on the FileNet and CCM sides.""It is ability to display legacy content needs improvement.""I know it took them seven months to convert, so the initial setup was, probably to some degree, complex.""There is room for improvement in the scanning solution, Datacap. It's improving all the time. But since it's more an end-user software, the end-users are constantly improving their processes, and I believe that sometimes we're not catching up with their requirements.""I would say the installation process can be very complicated, and you need to to have an experience resource.""The FileNet API seems like it is very difficult and not transparent."

"Sales and service need to be more consistent.""The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The biggest issue is the cost of the FileNet, because the license cost is very high. If a customer doesn't have good technical guides that are aware of the license calculation, they will pay too much. FileNet's license calculation depends on the processor and number of users. So my advice to a new customer is to be very careful with your calculations before purchasing FileNet."
  • "It is still a leading ECM solution provider, however the cost to implement and maintain are higher than other solutions."
  • "FileNet is not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for. ​"
  • "For small scale industries, they allow different options. They can do open source. It is the complexity of the data security that they should think about before they choose."
  • "For the medium scale or large scale, I would recommend FileNet. FileNet is free of licensing expenses, thus good for the money. It is not expensive, but worth for the money, especially for medium scale and large scale industries."
  • "​There are lots of components to the product. Make sure before you invest that you know which components you need.​​"
  • "1. It will be more expensive than estimated to setup. 2. You will need to double the staff while you are running the old system and installing the new system. 3. Depending on the number of documents to be migrated, make sure you understand the potentially massive amount of time and effort required to migrate the existing content to the new platform."
  • "The physical space that we have gained back pays for the service. Therefore, it has reduced our operating costs overall. We have definitely seen ROI. I would estimate $30,000 a year."

  • "The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
