"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."

"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
