- Recommendations
Users of the Open Text web app have made several recommendations based on their experiences. The three most common recommendations are:
-
Stay true to document management standards before creating a system: Users recommend ensuring that the system adheres to established document management standards in order to maintain accuracy and efficiency.
-
Explore other options before choosing Documentum: While some users find Documentum to be a good repository for saving documents and data, they suggest considering other interfaces that may offer more efficient solutions.
-
Consider PLM tools as an alternative: Users suggest that Agile and Arena, among other PLM tools, may be better than Documentum for managing documents. However, if a PLM tool is not an option, Documentum is considered the best out-of-the-box tool available.
It is important to note that while some users recommend Documentum for its record management and documentation capabilities, others caution about high maintenance costs and the need for skilled labor. Additionally, users suggest negotiating pricing and packages, having experienced implementors and administrators, evaluating flexibility in accommodating changes, and considering long-term vision and investment. Some users even recommend using Documentum in specific browsers or replacing it with a more robust platform for web content management.

OpenText automated and streamlined our Accounts Payable , a process that was highly manual and error prone
Sharepoint and others are a bit late to the party -- they have some nice features, but are leaders in the suite spot areas that we found OpenText helping us with.

EMC Documentum Review
At the time it was purchased it was one of the best, most robust solutions available on the market.
Features and underlying technology and development roadmap are much better for both Docushare and Confluence. OpenText product was preselected when I came into the implementation of the project. It should not have been.

Documentum is not dead.
Subjective but here's how I see it:
Heavy duty (in order of how much they can do and how much they can handle): 1)Documentum, 2)FileNet 3)OpenText
Middle duty: 1)WCC-WebCenter Content, 2)Alfresco, 3)M-Files (3rd b/c it is Windows only), 4)Nuxeo (only b/c of its newish approach that may lead somewhere)
Light duty: 1) BOX (not an ECM but it says it is), 2) EFSS (pick your poison, BOX is an enhanced EFSS), 3) CMSs (some have some ECM capability, none have much)

EMC Documentum - What's in it..
We selected EMC Documentum because of its robustness and scalability.
April 07, 2017
Robust solution comes with a Price Tag
We have evaluated IBM Filenet, Alfresco and Oracle WCM. Documentum has a very strong business process management system, security and scalability. It's not just a web content management system, it's an enterprise content management system with very good capabilities for Integrations. It has good compatibility with industry leading scanning solutions.

- Opentext Livelink 9.7/ ContentServer 10.5
While Livelink has many more modules out of the box and provide some more functionality which can be applied to document lifecycle without writing any customizations, from the support perspective Documentum is much cheaper to support and it is much more stable than Opentext ECM products.

Why Documentum?
There are numerous other products available including SharePoint, Stellent, FileNet, etc. Most offer many of the same solutions and modules that Documentum provides, however some, such as SharePoint, still have significant shortcomings when it comes to true, enterprise-level document management that require workaround solutions, either via architectural or custom tweaks. The Documentum platform tends to excel in its flexibility due to its available APIs and configuration options. In addition, the stability of its backend repository makes it ideal for global, enterprise-level solutions.

Is Documentum investment worth?
- SharePoint
Robustness of Documentum is far better than SharePoint.
