ACE vs. OpenText Documentum

It’s a great way to process transactions depending on the logic of your applications. Real-time tracking for logs can be monitored via the backend; however, we cannot pinpoint which transactional logs it is. We usually ask the DB admin to provide the ACE entry and exit logs for this. I would love to have that functionality readily available at any given time, without relying on the other team.

Documentum is best used in medium to large institutions that can afford it, have alternate solutions for web publishing, and who have either in-house developers or can hire good Documentum developers (not the ones who know Java but do not understand ECM). It is, in my opinion, the best heavy duty ECM solution out there, assuming OT is not gutting it as we speak. That is my only hesitation to not giving it a 10, OpenText is an unknown quantity in this and I worry that they will only support Documentum until they have figured out how to fill the gap between Documentum and OT and then offer a migration path to OT with a Documentum sunsetting as an incentive.

• WDK framework has been the biggest drawbacks from the application speed point of view, as well as client complexity and not so natural look and feel. Yes, with the latest releases much of these features are improved.
• EMC is very expensive to buy, own and support, where some products require many dependent Docuemntum products to be installed to work at its best.

Stability is a key factor as well as its flexibility. Also, any organization that deploys Documentum will have made a significant investment in terms of time and money, so not renewing its commitment can come with a significant cost. That said, the decision to deploy Documentum initially should come only after extensive evaluation, knowing that once deployed it will likely remain the platform of choice.

It is a very great tool, user-friendly even. You just need to get your head in and immerse yourself in the tool so you can manage and tweak its configuration to suit your liking and performance. The support team is an A-plus since they are available most of the time.

Support is better than with ECM, but could use some improvement.
