ARIS Cloud vs OpenText 360 for SharePoint comparison

"The cloud version has the advantage that you can work on it from anywhere."

"In terms of UX design, somebody who has not had experience with ARIS will be able to use it very easily."

"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."

"Aris Connect opens collaboration opportunities between team members within the organization where they can actually submit change requests, navigate processes, and offer comments. It opens up the potential for BPM within the organization. I didn't see such an angle of a BPM portal with any other products. So I would say that's the best selling feature."

"It has proved that it also works in complex circumstances."

"ARIS Cloud offers easy query writing for retrieving information and includes a user-friendly Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) part that aids risk managers effectively."

"In terms of using the cloud version, if you're somebody who, like myself, has got a lot of experience and understands measures and notations and things, basically it's unrestricted. You can do so many things. You can do your Archimaze, you can do BPMN. There's lots of stuff you can do in there and if you're a good field person and you cause yourself re-using things or whatever, then it's very nice, it's very easy to use."

"It's very easy to collaborate with. It's very user-friendly"

"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."

"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."

"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."

"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."

"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."

"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."

"Overall, I would rate OpenText 360 for SharePoint as ten."

"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."

"I encounter challenges, and I am using Yuri to establish principles, define rules, conduct training sessions, and offer coaching to application owners, SMEs, and individuals responsible for technologies. This aids in providing support during these migrations. Security is a consideration when migrating to the cloud. It's crucial to address potential risks and include security measures in the contract with the cloud provider. While there haven't been issues so far, acknowledging the risks is essential, especially when dealing with applications like ARIS. With the increasing capabilities and advancements in technology, many current challenges are likely to be resolved in the future. Despite security concerns, utilizing opportunities in the cloud and the internet offers significant advantages. Regarding areas for improvement, security remains a key consideration, especially when deploying ARIS in the cloud. However, this is not solely a product-specific concern but also pertains to the cloud environment. Beyond security, the strength of ARIS lies in its ability to serve as a unified repository for enterprise architecture. Having all information in one place facilitates alignment with the company's vision, strategy, and business objectives. Reducing redundancies across departments is crucial for maintaining service quality and minimizing costs. It ensures that everyone is on the same page, fostering collaboration and preventing discrepancies in information and services. While I currently use Guardis for this purpose, the concept of enterprise architecture is applicable, and ARIS stands as a valuable tool to support business processes and technology alignment within the company."

"The price of ARIS Cloud is relatively high and not every firm can afford it, especially if the company is not mature enough to require such extensive process modeling and optimization."

"It would be very helpful if this solution were more open and could integrate with other solutions like ServiceNow."

"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."

"The support team of ARIS Cloud has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"If you have multiple tiers of approvals into that update of the policy, or the process design itself, it takes ages to prepare those internal flows within the system."

"It seems that there could be innovations in fostering spontaneous cooperation between departments and individuals. This extends to case management and finding new paradigms for enhancing such cooperation. While some approaches, like basic case management tools, have been tried in the past, they may not have met expectations entirely. However, ongoing efforts in administrative science are focused on these areas. Companies with innovative ideas can contribute to progress, possibly involving concepts related to trust, even within the context of web 3. There are intriguing developments in how economic and business organizations can be formed. When it comes to learning about these concepts, starting with simple examples and gradually moving to more complex ones is advisable. Begin with the basics, excluding unnecessary details that might hinder understanding. Over time, you can delve into more intricate aspects, such as Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, to gain a deeper understanding of these technologies."

"The stability was poor due to frequent outages."

"In the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."

"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."

"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."

"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."

"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."

"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."

"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."

"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."

"The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."

"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."

"The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."

"The solution has a very complex pricing model."

"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."

"It has a reasonable price."

"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."

"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."

"On-premises version is expensive"

"SharePoint uses a subscription model."

"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
