Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
"The lifecycle management is valuable because many of our businesses create content and it passes through a lifecycle."
"Using Documentum products such as ContentServer, xCP, and Captiva, over 90 large-scale business processes and applications have been successfully implemented to move forward to a paperless organization, fully integrated with our Oracle E-Business Suite and custom enterprise systems built in-house."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"In terms of scalability, Documentum is a very good product; it's scalable, flexible, and reliable."
"We use this for documentation management, as it provides possibilities for us to save documents and support the business process while doing so."
"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."
"When Dell EMC had the technical support, it was better in terms of response and resolution. After the acquisition of Documentum from Dell EMC to OpenText the support became not as good in terms of responses and resolutions."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"Documentum xCP 2.3 still has some drawbacks such as dependent filtration among multiple drop down lists in result list, unable to access all user tasks from all processes in user inbox, and unable to include task link in task notification mail automatically."
"The licensing model should be changed."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."
