Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very easy.""The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features.""It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events.""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.""Case Foundation provides a strong security boost.""The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it.""The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable.""Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."

"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows.""It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is.""I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user.""The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online.""This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer.""I think the initial setup is fine.""Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval.""Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity."

Cons
"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.""The interface needs to be more user-friendly.""​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 service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility.""90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very 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.""We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic.""There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"The solution needs more RPA and AI features.""The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement.""Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet.""There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently.""I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics.""Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise.""Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution.""I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
  • More IBM Case Foundation Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
