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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Low code development."
"Comindware Tracker gives a lot of configurations and business rules to the administrators, and these can also be delegated to business users so that they could build and maintain their own step-based workflows."
"The configurable dashboard analytics and reporting capabilities ensure timely decision making."
"This solution can be useful for tracking the different stages of projects and the people working on them."
"This software added transparency to our workflows. It helped with increasing throughput of clients and their satisfaction."
"The ability to access Comindware Tracker from mobile has been greatly valuable to our organization. We are often out of office and this can create timeframe and task management issues. Being able to access tasks and time tracking while on the move is a great asset."
"This software makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with the team. Any user can learn and start using the application quickly."
"It successfully routes hand-offs between different teams, adds transparency to workflows, and has a set of social collaboration tools."
"I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it."
"It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"It definitely has provided better proficiency in our business processes."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."
"The content management is great."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
"There are not very many report templates, and if there were more, it would really help."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"The other thing that they could improve is that when you change the workflow definition from the BPM, then when all workflows are started with the older definition there where they have to stay with the older definition and don't see the change for the older workflows."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"We face some challenges with IBM Case Foundation from our customers, particularly with administration and configuration."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
"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 service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Great value for the money."
"The pricing and licensing is as per market standards, except that the process of extending licenses is also easy."
"This solution has a very lost cost."
"The price is so reasonable."
"Price per user works for me when they do not count my clients, which fill forms."
"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"
"Setup cost is reasonable and average on the market. They offer simple licensing and price per user."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
