Community Insights

TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Users of the Open Text web app have made several recommendations based on their experiences. The three most common recommendations are:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 provides for the automation of invoice verification, automated invoice data field processing, management, approval routing, and check processing with SAP on the backend. Specifically, OpenText ECM provided the workflow, group, and role-based controls to streamline and automate the process of Accounts Payable by allowing an automated bridge between OCR and image scanning, and processing the data collected from these steps by intelligently foldering, permissioning, routing (via workflow) and processing for errors.
  • It's good at integration with external systems through standard industry supported APIs, including but not limited to web services integration and file system integration.
  • Good support from major up and downstream technologies such as image capturing and back end ERP, Database, and HR.
  • Highly configurable.
  • Very fast searching capabilities.
  • Highly scalable.
  • Better market penetration and streamlined licensing.
  • Better documentation and training offerings.
It's my favorite enterprise document management tool, and is the most capable of the batch.

  • It's allowed the Accounts receivable dept to reduce its headcount, eliminate errors, and improve turnaround time on invoices.
Support is better than with ECM, but could use some improvement.
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.
