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

"OpenText 360 for SharePoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing me to monitor and manage projects and task issues using mobile devices."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"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."
"The benefits that OpenText 360 for SharePoint has brought to my company include improved turnaround time."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
"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."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"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."
"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"In the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"The integration could improve."
"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"From an enterprise point, their pricing is a little bit crazy because they don't have a SaaS model."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"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."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"It has a reasonable price."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side."
"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."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
