Room For Improvement

OpenText 360 for SharePoint needs enhancements in user-friendliness, integration, document management, and pricing, with improved interfaces and tools.

The GUI should be improved for better user experience.

I prefer using the open-source version rather than the enterprise version, which helps manage costs.
Apache Airflow is a community-based platform and is not a licensed product.
Pricing is very affordable as it is part of the Office 365 suite, costing around five dollars per user.
In terms of pricing, OpenText 360 for SharePoint is more expensive than Microsoft.
As an enterprise organization, we have enterprise service level agreements with customers and Microsoft partners, where organizations receive yearly discounts.
