Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"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'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."
"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."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"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."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"The integration could improve."
"The solution needs to continue to enhance the low-coding feature within the product itself."
"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."
"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."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
