Khalid Tamim

Senior Systems Consultant at Saudi Telecom Company

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.

Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities

If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The content management is great."

"I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it."

"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 definitely has provided better proficiency in our business processes."

"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."

"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."

"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."

"It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."

More IBM Case Foundation pros

"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."

"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."

"We found the technical support to be helpful."

"If you need software to help you easily design processes, make simulations, build value stream mappings, which has some LEAN features, and DMAIC support, I strongly encourage you to go forward and buy iGrafx."

"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."

"Simulation is most valuable."

"It has increased accountability by providing defined documentation ownership."

"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."

Cons

"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."

"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."

"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"

"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 limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."

"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."

More IBM Case Foundation cons

"I would like to see a lower price, although when used correctly, you can have a good return on your investment."

"I used the single license product. The entire suite can manage complex organizations, linking it with ERP, but it is not so easy to link it to a new ERP."

"This is a tool that covers the low end (e.g. Visio) to high end (e.g. Aris), although it's much less user friendly."

"The price could be more competitive."

"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."

"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."

"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."

"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."

"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."

"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."

"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."

"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."

"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."

"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."

"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
