Pros
"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."

More OpenText Vibe Pros →

"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems.""The security feature is valuable.""Ability to store files of any type.""The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically.""Its most valuable feature is the document library.""It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint.""Its functionality is enormous.""The search feature is valuable."

Cons
"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."

More OpenText Vibe Cons →

"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc.""This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities.""It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI.""I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools.""I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities.""The initial setup was very complex.""Make it more intuitive.""Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
