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

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."

"The stability of the product is very good."

"All the features come as part of a standard license."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."

"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."

"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."

Cons

"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."

"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."

"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."

"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."

"The maintenance of the package could be improved."

"Technical support needs to be streamlined."

"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."

"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."
