Senior Systems Consultant at Saudi Telecom Company
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.

Enabled us to consolidate workflows and reduce time spent searching for transactions
We have consolidated the workflow and have certain elements and functionalities developed in the new system so that my agents who are using the application don't have to do manual tasks searching for mail. So, we've consolidated and arranged some alerts and have done some segregation. The user is benefited, and the time spent on searching a transaction is reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"It is scalable."
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."
"I recommend IBM Case Foundation; it is the best in BPM solutions, and I support it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."
"I am overall satisfied with it; I didn't hear anything bad or any negative feedback about it, so far, so good."
"We have a huge customer satisfaction rate because we try to accommodate all the requirements of their business."
"This solution is very cost effective and very flexible."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"Good for static workflows, and the customer support team is proactive and accommodating."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"We have consolidated the workflow and have certain elements and functionalities developed in the new system so that my agents who are using the application don't have to do manual tasks searching for mail."
 

Cons

"The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool."
"​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 limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"Once clients go to the cloud and want to roll back to on-premises, they find that to be very difficult."
"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."
"In terms of stability, like every product, it has its issues."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"The technical support is not very good. They have a very late response and do not have enough expertise on the support team."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"On scalability, if you count the scale from 1 to 10, I would give Newgen a zero because we are unable to achieve any in-house enhancements or new processes."
"From what I have seen so far, this system is too hardcoded and inflexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
"The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
"Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
