Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, OpenText, Box and others in Enterprise Content Management."FileNet can for sure cover the requirements of a medium and a big company, because of the scalability and the possibility to connect with many other IBM products."
"It is a user-friendly system and easy to manage for anyone with basic knowledge."
"The beauty is the response time. It is very good nowadays within the platform."
"It has the ability to mix document management and process automation."
"It has improved my organization by how we release documents, claims, and policies."
"Everybody ties into Active Directory and things like that, but on top of that are the extra layers of security for encryption, so they can meet standards required by PCI and by HIPAA: encryption at rest, encryption in flight, encryption in the database, all together. There are really only three products on the market that know how to do that, and FileNet is one of them."
"The key feature for us is that it keeps our content store small. That helps our DBAs when they have to do the backups of our audit system, or of the content store."
"The standout feature for us is undoubtedly the Google-like search functionality, which allows us to search for documents within the system effortlessly. Instead of just querying the document database, this feature retrieves all relevant documents, akin to searching on the internet. It is very easy to use."
"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"I would like IBM to improve with each release, continue moving towards a continual, tighter integration, and build solutions that take advantage of all the different modules the platform has from one place."
"It would be nice if they could make it like containers are working in Kubernetes to auto-scale based on demand."
"Developers like us have an upgraded interface. That interface does not work in the process that we have today. It hangs and is not user-friendly."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. There are too many options, and it can get a bit confusing."
"To start with there are too many add-ons, which makes it hard for us. If they simplified the add-ons and plugins to be added to our existing systems, it would definitely help us in the future."
"I'd like to see more cognitive. That's obviously where all of our world is going. I think if we can have more of those types of features and functions as a core, out of the box, that would be very helpful for us and our space."
"It could be simpler to use, considering multiple use cases."
"During the initial setup, all the details and different technical things that we were trying to figure out became complex."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
