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.

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

"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing me to monitor and manage projects and task issues using mobile devices."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"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."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint significantly saves time for users by streamlining the tasks of handling, searching, and maintaining documents compared to traditional file servers."
"Its customer support is reliable and easy to approach."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
 

Cons

"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 the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"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."
"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The solution needs to continue to enhance the low-coding feature within the product itself."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
"From an enterprise point, their pricing is a little bit crazy because they don't have a SaaS model."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"It has a reasonable price."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"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."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
"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."
"There is a user-based perpetual license."
"The price is on the higher side."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
