Useful for case management and business process management, but needs to improve the documentation partThe product was implemented for process automation in our company since TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM serves as a complete integration suite that helps manage external integrations as well. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks integrates with the downstream and upstream systems while giving an endpoint that could either be REST or SOAP. With the inbuilt functionalities of the product, you need not worry about the load-managing capabilities of the tool since everything in the product is taken care of by the integration suite. Depending on the use cases, the business process management area can be used as a predefined flow. If there are factors that are going to be dependent on user actions, the flow has to be kept open-ended, after which you can use a case manager. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM can be implemented in two methods, and the product supports both ways. The business processes that got optimized from the use of the product are mostly banking processes and investment banking processes. Wherever there are a lot of processes, a lot of people, and a lot of approvals, there is a need to have quick management without much coding and case management for which rapid development tools are useful. The state management part of the product is the most valuable in the product. With the integration capabilities of the product, it is possible to integrate with any of the external SOAP services. You don't have to do anything to integrate the SOAP services since all the underlying serialization and everything else is taken care of by the tool itself. There is no need to get involved in any coding activities, meaning there is zero code integration required. In any kind of product, the database becomes the bottleneck because you can scale it, and the processing part can be scalable, but at the end of the day, there is a formation of a bottleneck wherever transactions or databases are involved. In most of the business process management cases, concurrent users are not that high. The number of nodes can be scaled up. When it comes to the tool, the processing nodes can be scaled up on individual servers and multiple boxes. Like any other Java system, the scalability of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is node-based. There is a bottleneck when it comes to the database. To what extent the databases can be scaled up to support concurrent transactions is the only bottleneck when it comes to the solution. In the decision-making and analytics part, the new version of the product supports REST. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks manages SOAP-based integrations. The product has become simpler for new commerce to learn. The product now offers simplicity to users. The documentation and usability of the product need improvement. The solution's adoption rate can go up after the documentation gets improved and more sample-based scenarios are provided. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
