As an instructor for this software I find it to be user friendly. I like that we are able to customize the software to our specific needs. I like that we can and bring in blocks of documentation at once.
I don't like that it flashes every time we click somewhere. I don't like that we can't really use all the functions due to security issues in the government. I don't like that we are unable to remove some of the menu items that are not in use. I find that it brings confusion to the user and questions why it is still there.

As one of SAP largest go-to ECM patrners, I can fully attest to the very strong ECM solution that OpenText brings to the table. I like their UI, their ability to integrate with SAP (and other leading platforms, along with the strong technical skill of people support surrounding their product lines. I have been exposed to other OpenText products as well, such as Portal Site Manager and Portal Content Manager that have strong ties to ECM...the integration you get OOTB with OpenText is amazing. It's literally "point & click" you way to the solution you need!
Some of the solutions can be a bit expensive, but I believe OpenText is for the most part, highly competitive on pricing and can get the solution "in the ballpark" of where you need it to be.
Highly recommend
From my experience as a Solutions Manager, I have used OpenText to help provide additional functionality to my customers, particularly in the area of Site Management and Content Manager. The UX is very amazing and simple to use, which reduces customer deployment times, increases ROI and provides for a great LOB solution, no matter what area of business function you are in. Other problems that OT ECM solves is complexity...many organizations do not have a content strategy. OT ECM solves this problem, as having a content strategy has it's roots in solving many other business issues, such as IT Compliance and Security.
The implementation of a new OpenText system was relatively painless. Also, there was a lot of updates to provide more efficient routing of documents.

It's appearance out of the box and the fact regular content server doesn't have a calendar.
It's a very stable environment and the open API allows access by other software platforms
Locations utilizing workflow for management of change, document approval, etc. As long as the workflow is not deleted you can always get back to it using the data id.
What I like about Opentext is how easy it makes the flow of information between the company. It allows users to access the active members to information from the computer, or mobile web. It allows add security.
What I like least is what it takes to create a custom version
To which helps us OpenText is to create, control and maintain the content of the page.

Versatile through use of core product
Some of the nice-to-have features come as extra modules (at a high extra cost!
