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.

User experience reveals stability and easy deployment, though improvements in integration options are needed
We are still working with DataPower Gateway with IBM solutions, but they will move to webMethods from DataPower, IBM. We still use IBM FileNet for the FileNet. We have already integrated IBM Case Foundation with IBM Content Management and are using IBM Content Navigator as an interface in Content Engine and Content Management for lifecycle documents. I do not use analytics for operational insights. We work in banking, but not in healthcare. Currently, my customers are using it on-premises, and security-wise it is fine. For Saudi Arabia, 300 users represent a medium business. I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it. It is the best because it has stability, very good stability. IBM has good stability, and performance-wise it is also easy for deployment. From the GUI, you can make many changes, and it is low code; we did not write much code because the BPM design is a very good solution. My total rating for IBM Case Foundation is 8.5 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

"It helps very well with project management, and the workflow process is very easy and fast."
"The configurable dashboard analytics and reporting capabilities ensure timely decision making."

"This software added transparency to our workflows. It helped with increasing throughput of clients and their satisfaction."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."

Cons

"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"We are using the backdated version of this software. That is why we lack of some features. I hope when we update the version, then all the problems will be solved."
"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool."
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
"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 other thing that they could improve is that when you change the workflow definition from the BPM, then when all workflows are started with the older definition there where they have to stay with the older definition and don't see the change for the older workflows."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."
"The cloud version could use more stability."

"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
