Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow
Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow. Time tracking is available and much used in our firm. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is also a great feature, along with the ability to access from mobile. Being able to use Comindware Tracker for common processes or standalone tasks for crucial in our decision to test the software. The software is flexible and computer-novice friendly, making training required minimal and efficient to implement.

User experience reveals stability and easy deployment, though improvements in integration options are needed
We are still working with DataPower Gateway with IBM solutions, but they will move to webMethods from DataPower, IBM. We still use IBM FileNet for the FileNet. We have already integrated IBM Case Foundation with IBM Content Management and are using IBM Content Navigator as an interface in Content Engine and Content Management for lifecycle documents. I do not use analytics for operational insights. We work in banking, but not in healthcare. Currently, my customers are using it on-premises, and security-wise it is fine. For Saudi Arabia, 300 users represent a medium business. I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it. It is the best because it has stability, very good stability. IBM has good stability, and performance-wise it is also easy for deployment. From the GUI, you can make many changes, and it is low code; we did not write much code because the BPM design is a very good solution. My total rating for IBM Case Foundation is 8.5 out of 10.

Pros

"Comindware Tracker allows non-technical users to build their own workflows and correct them in the course of work, delivers flexibility, and reduces workflow maintenance cost – there’s no more need to engage IT-department, when a head of department realizes that workflow should be adjusted as soon as possible."
"This solution can be useful for tracking the different stages of projects and the people working on them."
"This software makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with the team. Any user can learn and start using the application quickly."
"This software added transparency to our workflows. It helped with increasing throughput of clients and their satisfaction."
"Customize workflow processes visually and interactively."
"Comindware Tracker took us from a blind email to fully-transparent automated workflow with travel management and reporting, and improved efficiency, as well as making continuous workflow improvement possible."
"The best part is no coding is required, so it's extremely easy to understand and its usage with the non-technical team has reduced the need for commercial training of the workforce."
"The clean interface, prioritization, and private task lists aren't present in other solutions."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"The content management is great."
"In terms of rolling out deployments, it's good and there aren't really any bugs."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"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."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"It's very easy."
 

Cons

"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"There are not very many report templates, and if there were more, it would really help."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."
"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"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."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"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."
"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."

"The price is so reasonable."
"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"

"This solution has a very lost cost."
"Great value for the money."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
