Mature product in terms of security and stable product
The architecture is a bit difficult, but in BAW, they introduced the Business Automation Workflow. It's a bit easier compared to Case Manager. Currently, we use Case Manager, so it's a bit difficult to upgrade and handle, but BAW is comparatively much better and easier to handle. The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it. In some scenarios, if you want some business processes to be customized, we have already spoken two or three times with IBM representatives that we have to customize some of the features in this business process. They would say that if you want to do this automation at your own end, then okay, fine, go ahead, but we are not supporting all this customization. The only thing is the customization because it's a complete standard application.
SangameshwarKadole - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably stable BPM solution useful for process governance and process mining
The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings. The web modeling part can be a bit complex or difficult for new users of the solution. Simplifying the look and feel to make the web modeling part easy to use can greatly improve iGrafx.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"It's very easy."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"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."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"The solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"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."
"Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"The cloud version could use more stability."
"Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"The price could be more competitive."
"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."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"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."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit 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."
