Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We standardized our CIS log processing with CA View. We support a whole bunch of LPARs, about 80 or so. When we go to an LPAR, we know just where the CIS log is, it's in CA View, and we know how to get to it, we don't have to search around for it.""It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along."

"An advantage is integration with your IP directory.""I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good.""We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan.""The product can be integrated with different solutions.""The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management.""It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn."

Cons
"I believe they do probably have a GUI interface for the laptop, so you can just use the interface instead of the mainframe ISPF interface. I think that's already available but, if not, that would be my only issue.""There was one customer we were trying convert over, and it was complicated. There were retention criteria which seemed a little more limited than with some of the other products."

More CA View Cons →

"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find.""The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made.""The ease of use should be addressed.""Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution.""The product could improve its scalability.""OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It requires other pieces of CA software and license keys, thing like that. That's one thing to keep in mind. It requires CA Common Services in order to actually be licensed to run on LPAR."

  • "I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
  • "The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
  • "I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
  • "The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
