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

"Our purchasing team's efficiency and the productivity of our operations team have improved since implementing this solution."
"The most valuable feature is that any non-technical personnel can easily work on the solution, redefining processes and creating drag and drop workflows according to the department or cross-department needs."
"Overall, this is an excellent workflow management tool."
"Customize workflow processes visually and interactively."
"It successfully routes hand-offs between different teams, adds transparency to workflows, and has a set of social collaboration tools."
"The configurable dashboard analytics and reporting capabilities ensure timely decision making."
"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."
"Low code development."
"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"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."
"It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"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."
"The content management is great."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
 

Cons

"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable."
"We are using the backdated version of this software. That is why we lack of some features. I hope when we update the version, then all the problems will be solved."
"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."
"It lacks workflow samples, which would make it even easier for non-technical users to build their own apps."
"The cloud version could use more stability."
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
"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."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"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 limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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