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%.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."

"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."

"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."

"iGrafx is the most comprehensive way to have all the cross-feeds and the documents related to workflows, like cross-notes."

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

"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."

"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."

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

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform pros

"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."

"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 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."

"The workflow feature works very well, we also get very good notifications at each and every stage on where the installation process is, the integrations are very good, the scheduling and the calendar are very useful, and in the onboarding they integrate into our internal Active Directory so we don't have any problems with the BPM, it works."

"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."

"The customization is the most valuable feature, the BPM is very good, the interface is very user-friendly, and I like that it's an end-to-end product and complete solution."

Cons

"If the price of the solution was more competitive, it would have made things easier for our company to extend the usage."

"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It can be more user-friendly."

"There are a few areas iGrafx which could improve, probably the biggest area would be to support iOS as well as PC, so clients don’t have to emulate PC on an iOS platform."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform cons

"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."

"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."

"Technical support needs to be streamlined."

"Sometimes it's not stable, but it is a complete solution."

"TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft, TIBCO took the steps a little later."

"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."

"The solution is crazy-expensive."

"The connectivity right now is poor because not a lot of protocols are supported, so we had some trouble setting up a proper BPM connection to access cloud data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."

"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
