Easy to use, reliable, and simple to expand
We have used the same version for two years, however, now there's a new version, which solves a lot of problems. The solution we use that's from two years ago, has the ARIS Connect Server, the web application, and the ARIS client application. Some things you have to do in the clients, and you can't do them in the web environment. In the new version, though it's not installed by us, it's changed. You can do this. You can do almost everything in the web client. The difficulty that you have with switching between the two environments is solved in the new version. However, I haven't tested it yet. That said, that was one of the issues we had. It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version.

The area of improvement with OpenText 360 for SharePoint is that sometimes there are unexpected service outages. Though these situations are rare, I want to highlight that in case of any outage in the services, because everything is located in SharePoint, there is a chance that reports start failing or dashboards fail, or the system behaves differently. In future updates, I would want to see widgets available in OpenText 360 for SharePoint to interact with third-party tools. For example, when creating a dashboard, having the ability to embed these directly into SharePoint would be beneficial. Currently, I have to use hyperlinks to access other tools such as Tableau or ClickView. If it were possible to merge everything and bring all information from multiple teams (Cognos, ClickView, AWS) into SharePoint as a centralized place, it would be really helpful. That is what I envision for the integrator part.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product is useful when you're modeling business processes; you can use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"The solution is very stable, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, it's reliable, and the performance is good."
"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"The benefits that OpenText 360 for SharePoint has brought to my company include improved turnaround time."
"OpenText Process 360 is modular and has more features than other products from a financial point of view."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"The overall benefit I get from using this solution is developing in a more secure environment with distributed architecture and even distribution of work across resources where full control on the code and repository is required."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate OpenText 360 for SharePoint as ten."
 

Cons

"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"There is a lot of complexity around licensing and that should be improved."
"It is not scalable."
"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"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."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"Sometimes there are unexpected service outages. Though these situations are rare, I want to highlight that in case of any outage in the services, because everything is located in SharePoint, there is a chance that reports start failing or dashboards fail, or the system behaves differently."
"To be honest, my experience with OpenText is that usually, they are not doing too much on quality assurance with their product."
