| Senior Director, Head of Process & Functional Architecture, Intelligent Automation at a real estate/law firm with 10,001+ employees | 2.5 | I primarily use OpenText ProVision for process repositories, valuing its attribute analysis capabilities. However, I find its collaboration management complicated. While stable and scalable, setup was complex, leading me to rate it five out of ten. |
| MDS & Solutions Director at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 3.5 | I use OpenText for e-correspondence and document management, valuing its comprehensive features under one license. My main complaint is the lack of open-source development options. I recommend it, rating it seven out of ten. |
| Project Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | While ProVision offers good stability and reasonable costs, its poor collaboration, lack of integration, and forced cloud migration mean we are actively seeking a replacement that better fits our business needs. |
I primarily use OpenText ProVision to create our end-to-end process repository and library for different parts of the organization, capturing the collaboration process to get the right inputs.
OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information.
OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use. In the next release, OpenText ProVision should combine intelligence capability with process modeling.
I've been using OpenText ProVision for three years.
OpenText ProVision is stable.
OpenText ProVision is scalable.
The initial setup was complex, but it came with a lot of training which enabled us to set OpenText ProVision up in four to five months.
I would rate OpenText ProVision five out of ten.
OpenText is for e-correspondence, document management, focus automation and it can also be used for accounts payable processing. We are partners with OpenText and users of this solution. I'm a solution director.
I like that all the features come as part of a standard license and that one license covers everything.
My main complaint is that the solution is not open source in the sense that you can't have your own in-house developments. The only thing that they can support is certain APIs that can help you integrate and create your own API solutions.
I've been using this solution for 15 years, initially on-prem but we're now moving to AWS.
The solution is scalable and stable.
The initial setup is straightforward, deployment took around three months and we used a consultant. We used a technical team of three or four people and we have around 300 users.
Unfortunately, the licensing is only for an end-user so you can't have a shared license like a concurrent license.
I recommend this solution.
I rate this solution seven out of 10.
The stability of the product is very good.
The costs are reasonable.
There are a number of drawbacks. Mainly, the collaboration is lacking to some extent - at least when it comes to how we are using it. There is also the fact that the provider pushed us to the cloud version. Those are the main topics that are driving us towards a replacement that has a number of advantages against ProVision. That mainly is, collaboration and not being forced to the cloud on the provider's agenda.
Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful.
We've been using the solution for the last five to seven years or so.
Stability is not an issue. We haven't had any major mishaps with ProVision. The stability and the quality of the software as such for the functional status given, we don't have an issue with that. It's more the collaboration functionalities and a number of other issues. For example, how to embed it more in our policies that are beyond process management.
The company previously used Visio, which is basically the paper and pencil version of premises management.
The pricing is not an issue for us.
We are customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with the company.
The current product which we're working with is ProVision, however, we would like to get rid of it. We're looking into the marketplace for a replacement. It does not do just process management, it has to fit in with the rest of our environment. It's not just the quality of the software itself, as process management. It's how it also fits in the rest of the environment. That plays a role with us. That said, there's no specific platform in this case. In the mid-term, we need to get rid of it, however, it's not that we have to get rid of it tomorrow.
I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's not a bad product. It just doesn't work specifically how we need it to for our business.
