The best OpenText alternative
Choosing the right CMS shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s how CoreMedia differentiates from OpenText.
OpenText: Complex licensing model
OpenText’s solutions require licensing multiple products for a complete setup, complicating budgets and increasing costs for implementation, migration, and maintenance.
CoreMedia: Transparent, fair, flexible pricing
Pay only for the features and services you need - no unnecessary expenses. CoreMedia’s composable architecture ensures a cost-efficient solution customized to your business without overpaying for tools you don’t want.
OpenText: Fragmented and outdated ecosystem
Built through acquisitions, OpenText often struggles with internal integration between its products and external third-party tools. Custom development is frequently required just to maintain compatibility or handle forced migrations.
CoreMedia: Composable and future-proof CMS
Stay in control with a truly composable approach. Leverage a composable offering of personalization, optimization and testing tools or choose from 150+ pre-built connectors to seamlessly integrate the best tools for your business - whether it’s eCommerce, marketing automation, analytics, DAM, CDP, the latest AI or any legacy tools.
OpenText: Legacy challenges and forced migrations
Acquired technologies are built on older architectures that require significant effort to modernize or migrate from. The underlying platform of some solutions is nearly two decades old, creating compatibility issues and increasing the risk of obsolescence.
CoreMedia: Built for innovation at scale
CoreMedia’s headless CMS and composable DXP architecture are designed to scale with your business. We provide developers with the freedom to innovate, integrate, and extend capabilities, while marketers gain a unified interface to manage campaigns without IT dependency. CoreMedia KIO, our intelligent AI assistant, supports users to create, optimize and personalize content in record time.
OpenText: Complex and outdated user interface
Non-technical users often struggle with OpenText’s unintuitive interface while support requests are frequently delayed or insufficiently addressed.
CoreMedia: Faster content management with the help of AI
CoreMedia KIO, an intelligent AI assistant, revolutionizes content management by streamlining workflows, automating repetitive tasks like metadata generation and image processing, and enabling real-time personalization. Even new users can optimize and personalize content faster and more effectively than ever before.
OpenText: Legacy tech makes upgrades complex
OpenText’s deployment options are often tied to its acquired platforms, leading to fragmented and complex systems that are difficult to maintain. Many of its legacy solutions require custom development to integrate new technologies, and scaling often involves significant architectural adjustments.
CoreMedia: Stable on-premises or on-cloud deployments
CoreMedia’s composable architecture allows for easy scaling and integration of new technologies, without disrupting your existing environment. You can deploy at your own pace and continue innovating without worrying about complex rebuilds or forced migrations.
Switching from OpenText doesn’t have to be difficult. With CoreMedia, you benefit from a proven, low-risk OpenText migration process, led by an experienced team that ensures all your content, metadata, users, and assets are moved with zero disruption and full continuity.
We begin the migration process with a discovery phase to identify what needs to move, streamlining the process and reducing complexity. Technically, we extract the content using OpenText’s built-in export features or API, transform it for CoreMedia, and import it via our robust ingest service to make sure all required assets are migrated and optimized for CoreMedia Content Cloud. By employing a smart agile methodology, Enterprise Ireland migrated to CoreMedia within just 90 days.
