IBM Content Manager OnDemand Likes & Dislikes

Like

Resiliency, Speed/efficiency, supportability

Like

The ability to archive voluminous data ranging from different time and also 360 degree view anytime we need it with the precise and accurate information and i can even integrate and deploy the services to cloud and migrate the content onto cloud and helpful with saas(software as a service)

Like

The ease of implementation, integration and deployment with the existing legacy system. The deployment team had to spend only 3-4 weeks to integrate the IBM CMOD with our legacy system to achieve space and cost-efficiency.

Dislike

Not many other bells and whistles, Desktop client seems outdated visually, the fact that it doesn't say up front if the session has been lost - only after you do some work and try to confirm does it give the session timeout message.

Dislike

The indexing sometimes lags and requires restart of the service and would warrant few other indexes be cached into the stream processing to improve the faster retrieval speed to provide effective solution.

Dislike

The future with IBM CMOD is still not very clear at this stage. With the emerging cloud solutions everywhere, we are not very sure if IBM will enhance the functionalities and provide support with for cloud integration in future.
