Cons
"The solution can be quite expensive.""There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings.""The interface needs to be more user-friendly.""There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer""IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM.""90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly.""Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow.""The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations.""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.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""The user interface can be a bit more intuitive.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
