Cons
"We need to troubleshoot why our reports didn't get downloaded in a day. There is a workflow feature which powerful but also complicated.""An area for improvement would be the training - getting our people up to speed on how to use it required more training than we expected due to the complexity of the solution.""We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution.""For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy. It is getting better, but it is not yet good enough. Other products are comparatively doing better in terms of the user interface. I have been hearing about Box, which is very easy to use and learn for the users. OnBase has to work on this aspect. It should have BPM capabilities. We compete with tools that provide the BPM feature and support those standards. They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions.""The dashboards do have some room for improvement as compared to the other vendors which are there in the market.""The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly."

More Hyland OnBase Cons →

"The ease of use should be addressed.""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.""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."
