Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow
Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow. Time tracking is available and much used in our firm. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is also a great feature, along with the ability to access from mobile. Being able to use Comindware Tracker for common processes or standalone tasks for crucial in our decision to test the software. The software is flexible and computer-novice friendly, making training required minimal and efficient to implement.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Comindware Tracker allows non-technical users to build their own workflows and correct them in the course of work, delivers flexibility, and reduces workflow maintenance cost – there’s no more need to engage IT-department, when a head of department realizes that workflow should be adjusted as soon as possible."
"The ability to access Comindware Tracker from mobile has been greatly valuable to our organization. We are often out of office and this can create timeframe and task management issues. Being able to access tasks and time tracking while on the move is a great asset."
"The clean interface, prioritization, and private task lists aren't present in other solutions."
"It provides a scalable solution that should allow me to grow my company without too much fuss or further set up required."
"This software makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with the team. Any user can learn and start using the application quickly."
"Comindware is great for workflow management; it's user-friendly and trustworthy, and you don't need technical skills to develop, maintain, and update workflows using the intuitive web-based visual workflow builder."
"Standardizing our business processes has lead to a drastic improvement in efficiency."
"Comindware Tracker features a clear layout with a clean, professional interface that people can use with ease."
"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."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"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."
"In terms of the scalability and the handling of complexity, the customers are satisfied, and we also have confidence in the solution to achieve whatever implementations are required."
"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."
"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."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."
"I am expecting new updates to improve the software."
"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"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."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"
"The pricing and licensing is as per market standards, except that the process of extending licenses is also easy."
"Great value for the money."
"Setup cost is reasonable and average on the market. They offer simple licensing and price per user."
"Price per user works for me when they do not count my clients, which fill forms."
"The price is so reasonable."
"This solution has a very lost cost."
"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."
"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."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"There is a user-based perpetual license."
