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.

Automation has transformed banking workflows and drives custom process optimization
Based on my six years of experience, I see that Studio Creatio is continuously improving its workflows, materials, and capabilities. I still see potential improvements in certain areas. For example, some capabilities that the system does not have need to be identified so that customers are aware of what is not possible. The system should be designed to allow customers to connect with any system seamlessly rather than just through marketplace applications. It should have the capability to connect with any other system without limitation, as in some projects, while it was able to connect with 100 other systems, there were one, two, or a few that were not compatible. Regarding needed improvements, with respect to use cases and documentation, more comprehensive use cases and in-depth scenarios covering real business situations and solutions are definitely needed. Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app. The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly. Something new in this area is necessary.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The stability has been perfect over the years; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, it's reliable, and the performance is good."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"Its customer support is reliable and easy to approach."
"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."
"AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"To have the ability to truly customize and build every internal process just the way our organization prefers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The best feature Studio Creatio offers is its no-code functionality."
"The low-code tools and business process management that Creatio provides are useful for our internal processes. It is also very easy to use."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"From a 6,000-foot level, just the collaboration piece that we've already gained with our sales cycle is invaluable, absolutely invaluable."
"The scalability of Studio Creatio is commendable, and I would rate it eight out of 10."
 

Cons

"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
"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 could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"The integration could improve."
"The solution needs to continue to enhance the low-coding feature within the product itself."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful."
"It would be great if the product included a process design tool like Visio inside Process Designer."
"Based on my experience, the company's pricing, setup cost, and licensing are somewhat high."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process. Currently on the UI where the fields are placed and the layout is set in place and you cannot change it. Your experience is going to be the same throughout whatever use case that you are building from customer to customer. You can not have much control over how it looks for each customer. This is an area where they can improve on."
"The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process."
"On the other hand, when you are implementing the solution, we can't get enough support from the vendor."
"Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
"From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It is fairly competitive."
