"The product has good usability, in terms of low-code applications."
"The solution works great and is stable."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"We've automated several processes, including purchase requisition to purchase orders, RFQ processes, vendor onboarding, project budgeting, and business case creation. The recent versions of OpenText AppWorks, especially those incorporating low-code functionalities, have had a significant positive impact. In some cases, we've observed a remarkable reduction in development time, ranging from 50 to 75 percent. The MTP model and life cycle have facilitated rapid development cycles."
"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."
"If the price was reduced and the quality of the user interfaces was improved it would be beneficial."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
"The notion people have is that no code equals no knowledge, and that's simply not true. Even though you don't have to write codes, you still have to know what you're doing."
"Installation and integration could be improved."
"We would like to see the period for viewing executions within this solution to be extended beyond its current limit of 28 days. We would prefer to be able to offer our customers an infinite amount of history to search."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"We would like to see some improvement in the cost of the solution when an organization has a more complex network structure. The advanced connectors are very expensive, which discourages our customers from implementing it."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"The solution needs to continue to enhance the low-coding feature within the product itself."
"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"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 integration could improve."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
