Enhancing user experience and data management with effective central repository capabilities
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

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Development of forms and flows."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Overall, I would rate OpenText 360 for SharePoint as ten."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"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."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"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."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"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."
 

Cons

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"For SharePoint, the user-friendliness needs to be improved. It is not as simple to use as GitHub, which has a very straightforward interface."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"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."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"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 graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"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."
"It has a reasonable price."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
