We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily.""They have support for integration with a lot of tools.""It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365.""It helps you keep organized.""Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."

"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata.""It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process.""The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning.""We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability.""The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum.""The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role.""Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform.""OpenText Documentum has improved availability and performance in our organization."

Cons
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents.""The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office.""The initial setup is not easy.""The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why.""There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files.""Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive.""The scalability has room for improvement.""Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."

"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""The biggest issue for us is the price of the product.""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."
