Open Source Alternative for Documentum [closed]

Question

Is there any open source alternative to Documentum CMS. While doing the evaluation for this I came across Alfresco, Nuxeo and Apache Jackrabbit. I would like to know if I missed something and If there are any other products that I missed.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You pretty got the point. Nuxeo is based on Open Source but you have to pay the license, and is pretty expensive (at this point, Documentum is better anyway. Apache Jackrabbit, I personally never saw in action, so I don't have a clue. Apache is a strong Open Source mass of projects, so I think for a Java developer is a great point to start. Alfresco, at last, is the best choice here, 'cuz you have Enterprise and Community versions, if you want to pay for support or note. Here, if you are/have Java developers in team, you can create a pretty nice web-app with some great tools like sharing content/workflow/full text indexing and so on. I think it's the most complete system out there, and it really have great potential. I work for a company that is making business with this product, and I have to say we're very happy about it.

So full disclosure - I work for Nuxeo. But I want to clear up a misconception: Nuxeo is fully open source, and does not charge for licenses. The code's on GitHub. There's only one version - no enterprise / community versions. We charge for a subscription to support, maintenance, and a customization tooling.
