En general, mi experiencia con esta herramienta ha sido casi perfecta en mi caso. Al final es una herramienta que encaja muy bien cuando trabajas con mucha documentación y necesitas centralizar todo. En el día a día s eno6a bastante, sobre todo cuando tienes que buscar información sobre compartir documentos entre equipos porque todo está bastante ordenado y accesible. Hay partes de la interfaz que podrían ser mejoradas o más rápidas, pero en general tiene mucha fiabilidad.

Overall, my experience with this tool has been almost perfect. It's a great tool when you work with a lot of documentation and need to centralize everything. It's quite useful on a daily basis, especially when you need to find information about sharing documents between teams, because everything is so well organized and accessible. There are parts of the interface that could be improved or made faster, but overall it's very reliable.

My experience is mostly positive. The main issue we have had is that many of the features we have been using for years are being deprecated, which eats into our return on investment that we use to justify our program's existence.

My overall experience with OpenText Extended ECM has been positive, particularly from a customization and implementation perspective. It provides extensive configuration and customization that allows organizations to tailor the content management process to specific business requirements. During customization projects, I found the integration framework and workflow capabilities to be very smooth, and the metadata management features to be powerful and flexible.
