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.

Enhancing user experience and data management with effective central repository capabilities

The area of improvement with OpenText 360 for SharePoint is that sometimes there are unexpected service outages. Though these situations are rare, I want to highlight that in case of any outage in the services, because everything is located in SharePoint, there is a chance that reports start failing or dashboards fail, or the system behaves differently. In future updates, I would want to see widgets available in OpenText 360 for SharePoint to interact with third-party tools. For example, when creating a dashboard, having the ability to embed these directly into SharePoint would be beneficial. Currently, I have to use hyperlinks to access other tools such as Tableau or ClickView. If it were possible to merge everything and bring all information from multiple teams (Cognos, ClickView, AWS) into SharePoint as a centralized place, it would be really helpful. That is what I envision for the integrator part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great."

"The only thing is that we can easily track where the application is in the process, from manual to automation."

"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."

"It's very easy."

"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."

"The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable."

"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."

"It definitely has provided better proficiency in our business processes."

More IBM Case Foundation pros

"Overall, I would rate OpenText 360 for SharePoint as ten."

"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."

"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."

"The overall benefit I get from using this solution is developing in a more secure environment with distributed architecture and even distribution of work across resources where full control on the code and repository is required."

"OpenText 360 for SharePoint significantly saves time for users by streamlining the tasks of handling, searching, and maintaining documents compared to traditional file servers."

Cons

"The limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."

"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."

"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."

"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."

"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."

"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."

"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."

"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."

More IBM Case Foundation 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."

"The GUI should be improved for better user experience. Additionally, while there are standard connectors for automation and approvals in Power Platform, some tasks still need to be handled with API request calls instead of direct connectors, which could be improved."

"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."

"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."

"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."

"For SharePoint, the user-friendliness needs to be improved. It is not as simple to use as GitHub, which has a very straightforward interface."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."

"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."

"The solution has a very complex pricing model."

"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."

"It has a reasonable price."

"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."

"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."

"SharePoint uses a subscription model."

"On-premises version is expensive"
