"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"It's a very good solution."
"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."
"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
