Workflows are very good, integrate with a lot of things and effective real-time feedback mechanism

There is a lot to improve in Qualtrics. 1. The dashboard is quite slow compared to other dashboards like Power BI and Tableau. The attractiveness of the dashboard also needs work. For example, if I want to move widgets from one page to another, I have to do it one by one. If there are many widgets, I cannot multi-select and move them. 2. In workflows, they can be categorized into folders. Currently, there is no folder structure. So, Qualtrics should introduce folders where you can put multiple workflows in one place. 3. Qualtrics can also introduce AI features to suggest how to build a survey. For example, if I make a grammatical error or if I input a query that a client is looking for a particular kind of survey with a specific use case, it should automatically suggest some templates for building a survey. There are a lot of things they can improve on. These are just a few.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."

"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."

"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."

"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."

"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."

"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."

"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."

"It's a very good solution."

More OpenText Extended ECM pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is its setup process. I find it intuitive, especially regarding tasks like randomization and survey logic. Delighted by Qualtrics is intuitive compared to many competitors, which justifies its price."

"We can integrate data and run an algorithm."

"The solution has other extra features, like Stats iQ, Text iQ, and Predict iQ."

"The most valuable feature of Qualtrics Customer XM is the survey, which is very user-friendly and designed as a drag-and-drop item."

"Its comprehensive features and ease of use make it a valuable tool for efficient data management and analysis, contributing significantly to our organization's operations."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its simplicity and standardization. The consistent look and feel across surveys make it easy to use and provide a sense of simplicity. Once I've navigated through it for one survey, I feel confident I can efficiently handle the next hundred surveys. The intuitive interface contributes to the overall ease of use."

"The solution is very simple to use."

"The solution allows the development of multiple surveys based on the lifecycle"

Cons

"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."

"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."

"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."

"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."

"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."

"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."

"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."

"More out-of-the-box automation features should be added to OpenText Extended ECM."

More OpenText Extended ECM cons

"It is not easy to implement."

"Sometimes, a lot of emails bounce back during email distribution."

"The solution should add more visual-type elements or image-based question approaches."

"The solution's integration with Salesforce should be improved."

"It needs to focus more on broader CX programs and customer experience."

"Most of the improvements made constantly cause some friction in the platform."

"The solution is expensive. It needs to improve the server builder, which can help it do impressive research. When I mention that the server builder can improve, I'm referring to the ease of performing tasks like implicit association testing. While it's possible to do these tasks in Delighted by Qualtrics, it's not as straightforward to create them. Additionally, there are different tiers of features based on the payment plan. As a collaborator, I may not completely oversee all the features available."

"Certain limitations could be addressed in the product. For example, when implementing surveys for diverse product ranges or categories, the platform needs help to adjust questions based on user responses dynamically."

More Qualtrics XM Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."

"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."

"The product is pricey."

"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"

"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."

"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."

"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."

More OpenText Extended ECM pricing and cost advice

"Delighted by Qualtrics is more expensive than the competitor solutions"

"We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Qualtrics Customer XM, which is expensive."

"The product is not cheap."

"The solution is fairly expensive, but it would be money well spent."

"Some clients felt that this product was expensive when the sales team tried to sell it to them."

"Pricing depends upon the different kinds of use cases."
