Offers good dashboards and reports but fails to offer better migration features

The migration is a bit difficult in the tool. Whenever we make certain changes to workflow or other stuff, migrating the code from one environment to another is a bit tedious. The tool has an option for export and import, which is not robust. Most of the time, we need to do things stuff manually. For example, if we make any changes in the existing life cycle or any queues, we have to move those changes manually. There is no robust way to migrate code from one environment to a lower environment, like prod. When it comes to the product's technical support, the turnaround time is a bit longer than expected. The issue may be because there are a number of issues or a large number of customers who are reaching out to the support team for help. I believe that the solution's technical team can provide a solution more quickly.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provided data security features, allowing restrictions on sensitive documents, such as who could view or modify them."

"The most valuable features are that it's very secure and provides audit trails for our documents."

"I like the cloud and its integrability."

"Integrating Hyland OnBase with our systems enabled us to automate document designs and templates, which was extremely helpful in the finance and banking industry."

"Its most valuable aspect is its flexibility"

"The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities."

"We found the setup process to be okay since they do offer a troubleshooting guide."

"Hyland OnBase is valued for its security, especially for those in the finance domain who require data confidentiality."

More Hyland OnBase pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

"The tool is very easy to use."

Cons

"The dashboards do have some room for improvement as compared to the other vendors which are there in the market."

"The application could potentially be more open-source, allowing integration with more solutions."

"We need to troubleshoot why our reports didn't get downloaded in a day. There is a workflow feature which powerful but also complicated."

"For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy. It is getting better, but it is not yet good enough. Other products are comparatively doing better in terms of the user interface. I have been hearing about Box, which is very easy to use and learn for the users. OnBase has to work on this aspect. It should have BPM capabilities. We compete with tools that provide the BPM feature and support those standards. They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution."

"The migration is a bit difficult in the tool."

"I find OnBase's monolithic architecture to be expensive, and adopting microservices could be beneficial."

"We found the size of images to be a restriction, though this may have been due to the API used rather than the Hyland application."

More Hyland OnBase cons

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

"The tool has minor bugs."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"OnBase is reasonably priced."

"The solution costs around $6,000 per month."

"The tool's price is high."

"There are a number of different types of licenses. There are concurrent licenses, individual licenses and imaging licenses."

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
