Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint significantly saves time for users by streamlining the tasks of handling, searching, and maintaining documents compared to traditional file servers."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"The support is good."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"You have to maintain it manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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"
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"It has a reasonable price."
"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."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"The licensing model is good."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."

We have been using ELMA BPM (http://www.elma-bpm.com/), and it also does not require programming to model and execute processes. Yes, for complicated custom features you will need additional scripts but that isn't generally a problem. Plus, there are KPI management options as well as CRM and ECM modules included, all working well with processes. Project Management is available too although I w...
