    OpenText
    Great for content management and records even for organizations whose staff are not much experienced in the technical backgrounds as it's easy to use and no previous knowledge on HTML is required. It is great for storing invoices and payment proofs and for organizations dealing with global clients for general use documents.

    It is very easy to use. We utilize it to save and show the logs for as many apps as we want. You can use it as an addon on Heroku.

    Pros
    OpenText
    • Document Management is being done well since it allows you to put in a corporate folder structure that applies to the business unit you currently work in.
    • Records Management works well in this organisation as it allows you to classify the document according to the file plan, as well as manage it according to the retention schedule for tat file plan.
    • The ability to collaborate on files works really well. You can share with users within your group, as well as allow other users access to the files for either read access to read/write access.
    • Access control of the folder and even individual files allows you to ensure only necessary people can have the right type of access. This is especially welcome in the government environment where document management is of utmost importance.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • The user interface and configurability of that interface lack a lot of flexibility and modern tools.
    • There needs to be stronger and more powerful integration to electronic forms and workflow capabilities which are core to modern ECM.
    • Management of audit and content history needs to be modernized and made more dynamic and sustainable.

    • Interface is aging and in need of a re-write. It's functional, but not all that nice to work with
    • While the logs are near-real-time, they could greatly improve the speed at which logs are available in the UI
    • Pricing plans are not all that competitive with newer offerings with other companies

    PaperTrail has become a basic app for me to save and see app logs. It is very easy to use, very intuitive and easy to customize. The feature I like most is that we can use it with several apps at same time.

    Reliability and Availability

    I never had any issues with access internally or via VPN. But, the response via VPN, was a bit slow.

    Performance

    • I used OpenText nearly every day and I never had any performance issues that I can recall. That said, it's not terribly fast either.

    PaperTrail's live-tailing performance is adequate and searches over the recent history load quickly. Searching over long periods of time can be extremely slow, however.

    Having used OpenText Content Suite for a long time, I can say it stands the competition. It offers many versions which is unlike many products in its category. Also, while it is not affordable, I believe the cost is justified considering what a business can achieve with this software.

    I only used Logz.io for a very brief time. It seemed a bit more difficult to setup than Papertrail.

    • Free plan is sufficient for development and small services, and the paid plans are very cheap at low log volume. For us, the price is right with PaperTrail - though I can't speak to how their pricing compares at very high volumes.
    • Adding cloud-logging to your apps can really speed up development and debugging - the impact to engineering productivity cannot be understated.
