More iServer pros
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
"Enhancing integration options with ERP or ITSM-related solutions for triggering automated requests for process definitions, changes, and tracking them in the iServer."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
More iServer cons
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
