Performance is the area where it has to improve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about it is that it is a single-stop shop for managing your content. If properly managed, a user can use it for well-defined lifecycle management of the documents and content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a licensed product. So it might be expensive for some organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I likethe best is that We we're able to write down our documents effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Web app close down in times of Idle but i think that's normal for now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-friendly program, easy to store your files and to organize them in such a way to be easily found afterwards. I have been in many companies during my career and it is the best solution I have used for managing documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say it needs an extra effort at the beginning to feel familiar with the program. Other than that it is very simple and there are no drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentum is great for easily uploading files into a single storage file. There are so many tags you can put on each file so that they are easy to find later. You can search and store by date, time, file name, student information, etc. The best part is being able to sort through information based on different tags. It is also great that we are able to work from so many different computers and administrators using this. It makes it highly collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could be faster and more modern. Like I said, you can store and search a lot, but it takes quite awhile. It also isn't the fastest in uploading files so something faster might make it more efficient.

Thus, if I were able to offer any advice on how Documentum could get better it would be by making a faster and more modern looking interface which would also help it in competing with other products. Another thing is that it would be nice to be able to edit documents within the system and keep the previous documents, similar to how Dropbox works. Lastly, I'm not sure if my organization just does not have the best scanners at the moment, but having an interface that is able to pull a lot of the information for tagging right off of the scanned paper would save a lot of administrative time.

Great scalability for document management and storage among many users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s become a little outdated compared to other options out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Back in the day, from the early 2000s-2013 Documentum was the cat's meow and grew and grew, with tentacles crossing over into many other related areas such as Records Management, Lifecycle Management, Compliance, and on and on. Unfortunately, the product was expensive and support was mostly provided by the community itself, with little books or education material available except threw official channels. Coupled with expensive licensing and products that were released with many defects and bugs left a bad taste in the mouths of businesses and developers alike. Cheaper in-house enterprise competitors like SharePoint started encroaching, as did FileNet, OpenText, and Open Source product (alfresco, joomla). Workflow engine was very powerful.

Customization. You can set a standard to implement globally Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Control - design control where admin can change document folder structures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The architecture means easy implementation of new packages for users who don’t directly deal with technical and financial aspects of licensing too. Makes it easy to use in particularly large offices, and at minimal cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The actual process of dealing with licenses requires a big deal of technical knowledge. Also little comparisons between different produces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
