Having used OpenText Content Suite for a long time, I can say it stands the competition. It offers many versions which is unlike many products in its category. Also, while it is not affordable, I believe the cost is justified considering what a business can achieve with this …

OpenText is stronger in the management of high volume and secure information. However, SharePoint, while less functional from a document management perspective, provides a much stronger user interface which eases user adoption and the presentation of content. SharePoint also …
Chose OpenText Content Suite Platform
SharePoint is not very strong on records management as part of the base system. So after evaluation, it was found to not comply to all needs and therefore discarded. We also evaluated Afresco which is an opensource offering. The problem was that we could not find enough people …
Chose OpenText Content Suite Platform
I also used Tridion while at AP. It's tougher to learn (HTML knowledge is very helpful), but it is a much more powerful CMS. Tridion allows for language variation, more customization and the embedding of HD video. OpenText was a legacy system of our internal site. Tridion was …

In my opinion, OpenText Content Suite Platform provides more powerful product and highly integrated solutions more than OCR solution that Abbyy provides.

At the office, we used to manage our documents in Google Drive within a shared folder. While yes, it allows for easy sharing of documents, it has nowhere near the number of functions OpenText eDOCS provides. While Google Drive is not a document manager per se, that's what we …

Microsoft SharePoint is a simpler alternative for OpenText eDOCS. It can be used for the same objectives, i.e. to share and manage content, search for information, and collaborate across business areas. Integration with other applications and platforms can be rather limited, in …

Your organisation has to support the type of document and records management needed for this to work. In an organisation that only needs to store documents and maybe share with many different parties, this might not be the best-suited software. In a large organisation with stringent document and records management policies, this suite is well suited. It makes management of documents across business units easy to manage and control.
