OpenText Media Management (OTMM) vs. OpenText MediaBin

It is expensive and needs dedicated support but it is a overall good product. I also really like the Dev team and support teams, they are really responsive and the community of users that support each other is great. You need an enterprise team to support this, it is not meant for a small team or shop.

If you want to share (or access) the most current version of any content MediaBin can be useful for ensuring that you are getting the right thing - assuming you can find it. Another useful functionality - OS sharing or exporting different file formats for a file. Often PDF works, but sometimes you need a file in a different image format and the software can allow that.

• Export files in multiple formats
• Help reduce email clutter as a central repository
• Help with version control

• Search is often a chellenge - using the file name or "item number" doesn't always bring up the expected results.
• Navigation is not intuitive in places - finding different functions
• The export function is powerful but not always clear, several options seem like the same thing. e.g. Do I need FTP ot HTTP download? Do I care?

Over all it is fine, the system does have it quirks and challenges, I wish we could see the assets in bulk faster, it would be nice if there was more control around how things are downloaded. Overall the UI is clean and works well. the searching always works, and we have never had it not work when we need it to. the collections, sharing and links all work great.

OTTM team is great, the support and the user community they have built is amazing. I have check in with the product development team and they listen and are responsive. I can say enough about the user community, from the big big companies to the smaller ones, everyone is open and willing to help each other out.

I was not involved in the selection process but MediaBin seems to be more of a "repository" than a "file-folder" system. It also displays thumbnail previews of files making it useful for sorting through visual elements, like photos or PDFs. I am not certain how it compares with regard to version history.

• This software is more of a tool that resides in the background, so it is difficult to measure ROI.
• One negative impact is the challenges of managing access and thus limiting productivity when people can't access things.
• Another negative impact is the poor search functionality reducing productivity in finding the correct files when needed.
