Adept vs OpenText Documentum Content Management

Adept combines product data management with engineering document management for teams handling design files and related records. It manages parts, assemblies, drawings, XREFs, and configurations, with check-in, check-out, move, and rename actions. CAD integrations include SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor, with access through an expandable task pane; other listed CAD integrations include MicroStation, AutoCAD Electrical, and Navisworks. Teams can route designs for review and approval, manage document states, receive notifications, and retain workflow activity in an audit trail. CAD, PDF, and Office files can be viewed and marked up without a CAD license. Permissions are available for users and groups, alongside single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and encrypted storage. Adept can run on a customer's own infrastructure or as Adept Cloud, a managed SaaS platform. On-premise named-user plans start at $12 a month, billed $144 per named user/year. Adept Cloud Essentials is $1,400 a month, billed annually, with 20,000 assets included and a mandatory $10,000 onboarding fee for new customers. Cloud asset allowances exclude prior versions; several listed add-ons are not available for Adept Cloud.
