Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can build websites on it very quickly.""The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS.""We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution.""It is good for big projects."

"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc.""The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability.""The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum.""It is quite good.""OpenText Documentum has improved availability and performance in our organization.""The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role.""OpenText Documentum's composition is good.

Cons
"It is a little bit simplified.""Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go.""I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems.""The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."

More Drupal Cons →

"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit.""I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times.""It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop.""The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs.""The vertical application could be improved.""In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good.""We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular.""The user interface can be a bit more intuitive."

This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
