Very happy on the tool itself, as well as support from the team when a ticket is raised. Users like the tool.

Pros

Easy to navigate and maintain as an admin user, for example, I maintain user profiles and this is very simple.

Cons

Licensing model restrictions on number of users, for example, if we want to onboard another 250 users, I will have to get approval from our IT department to spend a lot more money just to onboard users to the system who only need a display access.

Overall is good, but we need a more modern interface and stability in the system. The potential is good btu users complain about how to use the system, so the interface needs to improve.

Pros

Trackability of action and the customisation of the interface. The direct integration with application such as Autodesk, Bentley and Windows. Control of existing information Multiple customised workflows for different document types.

Cons

Meridian Power Web user interface is dated. The errors logs for Power web packages sent to portal are not descriptive enough so we dont know the issue. Bulk number creation is difficult and time consuming, PowerWeb should have a a bulk built in table to create numbers. PowerWeb should have a multi document upload capability matching drawing numbers for bulk upload. External project collaboration is difficult with multiple contractors, we need a CDE type enviroment, also the contractor should be able to search our master library for existing documents and create a RFI via the portal. We seem to have issues where the system is working then suddenly stop working, so the system seems very sensitive to changes, needs to be more satable. Meridian Cloud packages keep giving us issues where they are not released to customers

Good so far. I misse the legacy Accruent Academy site which was more formal and better tailor to follow attendee's training evolution. I like also the new Accruent Custom Center which is easier to access and with short videos, it makes it a better solution to find an answer quick when you have questions.

Pros

Its versatility to be configure and integration with different software. It make it a powerfull tool to be use offline and remotely.

Cons

The time it takes to solve issues with software. Not having a direct contact with Accurent make the resolution of the case tedious and the time to resolve case too long.

Meridian workflows were a great enhancement that were easy to setup & work directly with internal processes & standards. The portal has been a bit more limited, and we found that we had to change process to work within the portal, as many of these are with outside contractors it was easy enough to use the workflow within the portal.

Pros

This gives control back to the host for our external contract collaborators, as well as moves much of the tasks back on the contractor away from internal support. We have been managing the documents for external contractors & sending them the documents to update. Now we just manage the documents and allow them to do their own design updates while we manage the documents.

Cons

We love Meridian as a DM tool internally & expected the Portal to help with all the external contractors that do design engineering on our documents, which it has helped a lot, but we still find it a bit cumbersome & time consuming getting the documents into portal & upon completion back in Meridian on-prem.

[OpenText Documentum Content Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/233488/OpenText-Documentum/)

Reasons for choosing Meridian

Meridian had what none of the others did at the time, direct access from the applications we used (App integration) as well as the timeline for viewing revision history which is excellent if we could get the viewing back.

We've been Meridian users for 20+ years now, even using TeamWork before Meridian. It consistently meets our company needs and the additional features brought with Meridian Cloud have only made our user experience better.

Pros

Meridian sets the bar for drawing management. The workflows between as-builts and projects are perfect for our company needs. Being able to search for keywords in CAD files is a huge time saver.

Cons

Only thing I would find more useful is more customization on the depth of folders in default view. We have custom views to meet the need currently, but not everyone remembers to change the view each time they login.

overall i like the solution, because the workflows, different types of access rights, and possibility to work from the different locations

Pros

I like in Meridian that it has a cloud solution. It provides possibility to the people from the different locations work and collaborate together. And it has good Value for money

Cons

Sometimes customer support doesnt react as fast as it should be. Plus, it gets hard to develop something new or enhance features

Merdian EDM Application is great version control application, especially for CAD drawings. It maintains correct information of versions of the documents, and it is also accessible easily.

Pros

Meridian provides a comprehensive solution for Electronic Document Management due to which engineering teams keep current with the latest versions of their engineering documents and drawings. It maintains the correct relationship between the documents and accurate technical information. It provides document version control to prevent users from working on incorrect versions.

Cons

User/ Security management needs to be more robust and foolproof. It needs to venture for other web servers to provide more seamless access to users over the web.
