Q&A Highlights
Question: What is your experience working with different BPM Software?
Answer: We have been using ELMA BPM (http://www.elma-bpm.com/), and it also does not require programming to model and execute processes. Yes, for complicated custom features you will need additional scripts but that isn't generally a problem. Plus, there are KPI management options as well as CRM and ECM modules included, all working well with processes. Project Management is available too although I wouldn't recommend ELMA if your main focus is indeed project management, it rather helps with smaller and similar projects.

Cons
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier.""OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format.""We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support.""They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them.""Integration is an area where the solution lacks.""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.""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."

More OpenText 360 for SharePoint Cons →

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems.""We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues.""Pricing is an area that could use improvement.""Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."

    Appian, Open Text and Oracle are good BPMs, but they require significant participation from specialists for their implementation, and more importantly for their continuous improvement, which makes them costly.

    On the other hand, other BPMs such as Bizagi claim to not need any programming to design, implement and run the processes, but this is generally only the case with very simple processes or when the automations are minimal.
    For a BPMS to be able to create complex processes without requiring programming, it must internally contain the options that allow the same possibilities as the programming.

    Every BPMS in the market offers help tools (which are increasingly more powerful) to make the modeling easier, but it is very difficult that they are capable of completely substituting the programming.

    From my experience, AuraPortal is the only BPM solution that requires absolutely no programming.
    It must be taken into account that selecting the right BPM solution greatly depends on the project at hand, and that the comparatives are always subjective, but here is a report about the most well known BPMs in the market where AuraPortal has been ranked in the top position:

    Hi Pratyush, fyi: www.bizagi.com
    In 2007 I've modeled new loan processes for a online bank with this tool. I've worked together with the CEO of bizagi, Gustavo Gomez!
    You're welcome

    Our only experience is with Appian, for which we are a Value Added Service Provider, and with a smaller, Google Docs-based workflow engine called KiSSFLOW. If you're considering the former then the latter won't meet your needs, so let's focus on Appian.

    We became involved with Appian because of how impressed we were with its BPM Suite in terms of its portability, functionality and easy-to-learn customization capabilities. Basically, it can do what you need it to do, it is available where you and your users need it to be and setting up workflows is a snap.

    Let me know if we can help you.

    Thanks Kurt. I have never heard Bizagi. I would appreciate of you can put your Bizagi experience in your response. Maybe that may turn out to be better proposition for us...

    Many Thanks
