    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.

    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.

    • Still some minor upgrade on indexes of records.
    • It was a bit tough to get started so user onboarding could be improved.

    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.
