Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository.""Case Foundation provides a strong security boost.""The content management is great.""It's very easy.""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 is a scalable solution.""It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me.""It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling.""The collaboration hub is good because it allows us to share the models that we've captured and to get comments back, and we don't all have to be in the same room, it can be remote and over time.""We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people.""The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change.""I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it.""The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."

Cons
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer""The interface needs to be more 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.""90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly.""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.""​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 solution can be quite expensive.""The cloud version could use more stability."

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution.""There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting.""Being able to integrate the Workflow Accelerator with more products would be good.""The collaboration and commenting are great. However, I think it would be more useful for people to get notifications of comments straight-away so we can react even quicker to them than we already can.""Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool.""Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models.""The solution is complex.""The solution’s pricing could be improved."
