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 The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly.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

"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"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."
"The good part of OpenText AppWorks is that all of its components are together in one platform, including integration capability, UI capability, and workflow capability."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."
"Studio Creatio is a business automation platform and is very versatile, as it can automate most of the management processes that you come across on a day-to-day basis in your corporation."
"The most valuable feature of Studio Creatio is the ease of providing change for our customers, and Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."
"We recommend this solution to all our customers because of its functionalities and potential."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"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 business process management is definitely the most valuable feature. What Creatio ended up doing with their software solution is giving you the power, in your own hands, in a way that is incredibly intuitive and well-structured."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
 

Cons

"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"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."
"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."
"The UI for the solution is complex, and it would be better to go for Openpath and Angular or use another BPM engine."
"From an enterprise point, their pricing is a little bit crazy because they don't have a SaaS model."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
"I would rate the customer support for Studio Creatio a five out of ten."
"Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app."
"I would rate customer support a 4 on a scale from 1 to 10 because there is no support available unless it is through a consultancy that we hire, and there is not Studio Creatio's own local support in my region."
"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."
"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."
"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."
"If you really want a BI-capable tool, it is better to acquire licenses of such products."
"Studio Creatio can be improved because they oversell its AI capabilities out of the box, and there are lots of configurations that need to happen; it is not readily available to use just with one click, as configurations and training must occur before it yields management results."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is on the higher side."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"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."
"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."
