Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Tools at Motorola Solutions
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
Chief Operating Officer at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
The solution enables automation of supply chain and invoice processing with comprehensive integration and workflow capabilities
The main valuable features of OpenText AppWorks are the BPM modules. There is the standard BPM 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 system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes."
"My advice to anybody who is considering KiSSFLOW is that it is easy to use and I recommend it."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"The support team responds fast."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"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."
"AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"The stability has been perfect over the years; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, it's reliable, and the performance is good."
 

Cons

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"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."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"The UI for the solution is complex, and it would be better to go for Openpath and Angular or use another BPM engine."
"The integration could improve."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is very expensive."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"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."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
