I think John Newton (from Documentum) made a good bet with this kind of philosophy (OpenSource / Paid services). Alfresco is not as stable as Documentum, but is much better, faster and cheaper on price and servers. Documentum 6.5 need at minimum 3 servers. Alfresco works perfectly only with only one. For me, Alfresco is really a good choice for who is interested in document management system.
For me personally it’s hard to take a system seriously that doesn’t provide a working installer for Linux systems. I tried it just yesterday and there is a filed bug report for half a year but nobody ever bothered doing anything. I like the idea, but I unfortunately can’t try it, beause @@ALFRESCO_HOME@@ in all the files doesn’t really help to get it running
We’ve moved away from Alfresco towards Jahia. It’s a much more fully thought out, full featured product. It’s 100% standards based, implements JSR170, has a Portal Container for delivery:
