Well Suited Scenarios: Regulatory Compliance: IBM FileNet Content Manager is ideal for industries with strict regulatory requirements, such as healthcare and finance. It helps organizations securely manage and retain documents, ensuring compliance with data retention policies. Enterprise Document Management: Large organizations that deal with extensive document volumes benefit from FileNet's document capture, indexing, and search capabilities. It simplifies document management across departments. Less Appropriate Scenarios: Small Businesses: For small businesses with limited document management needs, FileNet may be overly complex and expensive. Simpler, more cost-effective solutions may be a better fit.Simple Document Storage: Organizations primarily seeking basic cloud-based document storage without extensive workflow automation or compliance requirements might find FileNet's capabilities excessive for their needs.

When I found this product I was looking for a solution that would allow me to manage the data I need to protect. They have helped me achieve that.

It's a great tool for our legacy system however the implementation, management time and lack of a niche provided by IBM makes it a difficult tool to recommend in a fast-paced market.
