Flexible in terms of how the UI assists users working in a variety of roles
Our initial setup was complex because we are guaranteed to have approximately two thousand concurrent users. We began first with a couple of servers, then after a couple of years, as we saw that the usage was going up, we grew both horizontally and vertically. We have a pretty big team here, with fifteen huge processes. I would say that from a development perspective, building one complex process will take a couple of developers, and an additional person is required to exclusively handle the support. There are many factors to it. In our organization, we need 24/7 support because we have trade finances that work in the middle of the night. We require additional support to accommodate people working in shifts. If change requests come in then one developer may be able to handle three processes. In the case of a new requirement, there is normally one developer who works with the team leader that is monitoring the entire setup.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"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 integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
 

Cons

"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"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."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."
