Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great.""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.""It's very easy.""A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting.""It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository.""The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable.""The content management is great."

"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO.""The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature.""The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.""The scheduling and the calendar are very useful.""For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."

Cons
"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if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow.""The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility.""The cloud version could use more stability.""There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer""The solution can be quite expensive.""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.""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."

"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back.""The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily.""Technical support needs to be streamlined.""The maintenance of the package could be improved.""The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
