Featured Reviews

Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver
When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user. For example, our RSN needs to approve the ticket first before it's moved to the next person rather than having them all grouped. It would be better if we could see all the tickets grouped at the same time.
Senthil Natarajan - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution enables automation of supply chain and invoice processing with comprehensive integration and workflow capabilities
The main valuable features of OpenText AppWorks ( /products/opentext-appworks-reviews ) are the BPM ( /products/informatica-intelligent-data-management-cloud-idmc-reviews ) modules. There is the standard BPM ( /products/informatica-intelligent-data-management-cloud-idmc-reviews ) modeler and a case modeler. These are two strong features from the workflow layer. Additionally, the integration capability of the solution is beneficial. With these features, we are able to use OpenText AppWorks for automating supply-chain-related problems, vendor process automations, and invoice automations. We have built almost twenty-plus types of solutions and implemented around three hundred fifty-plus implementations. The solution also allows us to integrate it with our ERP ( /categories/erp ) system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is very, very good."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"The support team responds fast."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"The monitoring aspect is highly valuable, as it offers an exceptional capability to track every minute of action performed by a business user in the global context."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
"Its customer support is reliable and easy to approach."
"OpenText AppWorks has standard features such as system-to-system and human-to-human integrations, but what I find most valuable in the solution is its monitoring feature that tells you more about your processes, how to restart and how to stop each process, etc."
"In terms of the scalability and the handling of complexity, the customers are satisfied, and we also have confidence in the solution to achieve whatever implementations are required."
"AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"The good part of OpenText AppWorks is that all of its components are together in one platform, including integration capability, UI capability, and workflow capability."
 

Cons

"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"The integration could improve."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"A room for improvement in OpenText AppWorks is its user interface. It should have mobile compatibility because right now, you still have to make two applications with a user interface for Android and a user interface for iOS, so if OpenText AppWorks can provide one UI that can be used across all devices, that would make the solution better. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of OpenText AppWorks is a better UI in terms of the look and feel. Another feature I'd like to see in the next version of the solution is mobile compatibility because, at the moment, you have to make your application mobile-ready or compatible with mobile devices because there's no provision for it in OpenText AppWorks."
"The solution needs to continue to enhance the low-coding feature within the product itself."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"From an enterprise point, their pricing is a little bit crazy because they don't have a SaaS model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"The license is very expensive."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
"The price is on the higher side."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"There is a user-based perpetual license."
"Pricing for OpenText AppWorks, specifically in the Indian market, is reasonable, but I'm not aware if it's still reasonable outside of India. The licensing cost is based on the number of licenses and the number of users. OpenText AppWorks has different licensing options."
