Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application.""The stability of the ARIS BPM platform is quite good. The nice thing about it is the central database, where we can use all of our data. We can even manage users.""​It is a well-featured, functional product.""​The matrix model makes building relations easier.​""ARIS is probably the most mature product in terms of modeling an enterprise architecture so that it has context.""ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take.""Fully-reportable database over Visio.""Also, the UML parts have been improved very much in the last two years. And it's very powerful now to combine the BPMN and UML parts in the product, because you can make a connection between them, so that you have the right interoperability between them. So if you're doing data modeling, you can use your class diagram and bind that to the BPMN part."

"The solution is scalable.""Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great.""It's very easy.""The content management is great.""The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it.""The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features.""A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting.""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."

More IBM Case Foundation Pros →

"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time.""The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great.""We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes.""The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good.""The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search.""This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository.""The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs.""In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."

Cons
"It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser.""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them.""Create simple data uploader.""Since this is a design tool, seamless interface to make the process flows executable.""The product is difficult to use for someone without prior knowledge of working with it. It requires a certain level of administration training.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""The governance mechanism could be better, as could automation."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The solution can be quite expensive.""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.""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.""There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer""The cloud version could use more stability.""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.""We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic.""90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option.""We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support.""They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all.""I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit.""The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use.""The user interface could definitely be improved.""An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved.""OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
