We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​""The ease of use is the most valuable. I have tried a number of BPMN packages, and I find the user interface of ARIS BPM easier and more intuitive than others. If your team is knowledgeable on BPMN, it is really pretty easy to figure out on your own because it adheres to the standards extremely well. I have tried Bizagi, BizFlow, and a variety of such solutions, and I just liked ARIS BPM better.""It helps to maintain a single source of truth regarding the processes followed within an organization.""It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports.""There is a really powerful reporting API that allows you to create almost any kind of report you want out of your process and document repository.""Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier.​""From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect.""It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."

"The content management is great.""A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting.""The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it.""The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features.""The most valuable features are those involving decision making, analysis, and anything related to event documents because those processes are related to content as well.""It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository.""It's very easy.""Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."

More IBM Case Foundation Pros →

We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible.""The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good.""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.""The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search.""OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents.""The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform.

Cons
"In terms of improvement, the app could use some small details and functionalities.""The interface is a little archaic.""There are some things in the collaboration module that could be improved a little, such as the functionality which dynamically pushes notifications to interested people when a process changes during the Release Cycle Management workflow.""ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model.""One of the issues is, when you are defining databases, the way they use entities and relationship diagrams, the way we can define data, like data models, there is still a part they could improve.""I would like to see the reporting aspects improved.""The workflow approval process could be represented better in the overviews.""Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility.""There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings.""There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer""The interface needs to be more user-friendly.""IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM.""​The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications.​""The solution can be quite expensive.""We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"The user interface could definitely be improved.""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.""An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved.""They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them.""OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format.""The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use.""They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all.""Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
