What do you like best about OpenText?

Seemed friendly and helpful UNTIL we singed contract and got handed to outsourced support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText?

Rigid policies, poor support, bad onboarding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText solving and how is that benefiting you?

My experience with OpenText has been nothing short of a corporate disaster. Despite never using their services and facing unavoidable inventory issues, they refused to offer any flexibility on their contract terms. Their responses were a parade of scripted, unhelpful jargon, and their only suggestion—find another retailer—was completely irrelevant given our situation.

To make matters worse, the outsourced onboarding process was a disaster. It felt like dealing with a disconnected, untrained team that had no real understanding of our needs or situation. The lack of empathy and support from this outsourced team only compounded our frustration. Attempts to escalate the issue were met with stonewalling and repeated boilerplate responses.

OpenText's handling of this situation has been a textbook example of how not to manage client relations. Their rigid contract terms, coupled with ineffective outsourced onboarding and a complete lack of real customer support, make them a company to avoid if you value responsive and effective service.

Describe the project or task OpenText helped with:

I have used OpenText products for the last 10 years. For Document Management they have Content Server, Documentum products. We have used the OpenText product for OCR and Document Management use cases. They have a product called ExECM for SAP which can be used for archiving SAP documents. From Archiving standpoint Inforarchive. This product can be used to retire applications and store the application data in cheap storage. They are pioneers in record management capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenText?

Document Management, SAP Archiving, and Archiving are best. The products cut down the development time and have the exact business use cases which the client needs. OpenText is having a great presence in most Fortune 500 companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText?

OpenText products knowledge is tribal knowledge. There portal is accessible to the vendors and partners. Due to this finding, the practitioner is a great challenge. OpenText does lot of acquiring lot many smaller companies and for the same use, they have multiple products. For example for Document Management, they have a content server and Documentum. This confuses the client to which product one has to go.

Sometimes OpenText treats early adopters as their Beta Tester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have solved multiple problems like Document management, OCR, Vendor Invoice Management, and Customer Communication Management using the OpenText ecosystem. The major benefit is less development time as their product solves a business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
