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

"I love this software because this software helps me to increase team productivity day-by-day.​"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This software added transparency to our workflows. It helped with increasing throughput of clients and their satisfaction."
"Customize workflow processes visually and interactively."
"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."
"The configurable dashboard analytics and reporting capabilities ensure timely decision making."
"In terms of rolling out deployments, it's good and there aren't really any bugs."
"It is well integrated with documents and document management from IBM, is a very good data-driven solution, and it is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"Case Foundation provides a strong security boost."
"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."
"IBM Case Foundation is both scalable and flexible."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"The client and the IBM content navigation are the solution's most valuable features."
 

Cons

"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"It lacks workflow samples, which would make it even easier for non-technical users to build their own apps."
"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."
"However, if you have a not so common issue, it might take time to get a final solution."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"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."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"The cloud version could use more stability."
"We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."
"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 limitation is only for customization because IBM doesn't support it."
"We face some challenges with IBM Case Foundation from our customers, particularly with administration and configuration."
