Helps to control the workflow and business process components of customers' operations but OSGi integration can be challenging

I'd rate my experience with the initial setup of Flowable at about a three out of ten, but for our developers, it's probably closer to a six. I found it challenging due to the complexity of the user and help documents and the fact that much of the Flowable documentation and tutorials are focused on cloud-based implementations. Since we're primarily interested in basic components like BPMN models and form design, which aren't included in the product, the learning process was more difficult for me. In contrast, our developers are more comfortable diving into the code and technology stack, which allows them to be more proactive in their approach. The deployment took three months to complete. We're still in the deployment process. Our main challenge is integrating the Flowable process engine into our product, which uses OSGi. This has led to complexity in managing the Java versions and dependencies, as the tool has around 150 Java files. We could have chosen to interact with Flowable via a Docker container and the REST API, which would have isolated the OSGi Java dependencies, but we decided to integrate it directly. This has required resolving Java version control issues and upgrades, leading to various development challenges that must be addressed. It is a learning process for all of us. As an integrated solutions architect, I would have probably opted for the Docker route rather than the direct OSGi integration chosen by the developers. However, since they went with the OSGi integration, it's taking us longer to complete the deployment. Currently, we have one full-time developer dedicated to deployment, along with one part-time developer, and my involvement at about a quarter of my time. So, we have about two people working on deployment. As for maintenance, we're not entirely sure yet. Given our direct OSGi integration choice instead of Docker and REST, maintenance may be more challenging. However, we'll have a clearer picture once deployment is complete.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Customize workflow processes visually and interactively."

"The configurable dashboard analytics and reporting capabilities ensure timely decision making."

"The workflow tracker helps us to track our staff's workflow. It helps us to improve the productivity of our team."

"The feature I have found most valuable is the easy synchronization with other tools."

"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."

"It was easy to set up my team with access credentials to their files."

"This solution can be useful for tracking the different stages of projects and the people working on them."

More Comindware Tracker pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is the process engine. It allows us to define BPM-based workflows, deploy them into our process engine, and interact with them within our product."

Cons

"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."

"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."

"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."

"I am expecting new updates to improve the software."

"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."

"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."

"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."

"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable."

More Comindware Tracker cons

"In my opinion, areas of improvement for Flowable include the management and creation of forms within the open-source components and the documentation and examples provided. While the cloud-based Flowable implementation with no-code features is attractive, we prefer more control over integration, especially since we deploy our product onto AWS. We also want to avoid additional licensing fees for Flowable runtime user components on top of our software development and implementation charges."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing is as per market standards, except that the process of extending licenses is also easy."

"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"

"The price is so reasonable."

"This solution has a very lost cost."

"Great value for the money."

"Price per user works for me when they do not count my clients, which fill forms."

"Setup cost is reasonable and average on the market. They offer simple licensing and price per user."

"Since the tool is open-source, we don't have to pay anything for it. It's free to download and use, which is great for us. If Flowable hadn't been available as open source and required a license fee for us to integrate it into our product, we might not have chosen it."
