We use it for monitoring events, authorization of events, for communication among all teams, all divisions of the company. It is difficult, for example, to manage a case throughout the company. BPM is no good, and Case Manager is so elastic, so flexible.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's so stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is good. I don't know about the cloud version, but it's good.
How are customer service and support?
Good.
How was the initial setup?
It's easy. The most challenging part of implementation with this product is designing the case and the flows.
What other advice do I have?
When I select a vendor, the most important thing is the possibility to move to other technologies, connectivity for the digital ecosystem, and sharing; how the product shares sets for other companies.
I rate it eight out of 10, because it's stable, it's elastic, but difficult for designing the business use case.
Before implementing the product, try to pilot it, in a small division, work it in a small division and then try to scale.

ECM (Filenet) Architect at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
It is scalable and the UI is extendable.
What is most valuable?
The best-scaling ECM solution now comes with a beautiful, extendable UI. I hope with the latest push on Case Management, IBM does not forget to flaunt the real beast under the hood, the Content Engine.

Archival, records management or workflows all get implemented best with FileNet. Over the years, I am witness to organizations picking a cheaper product with a little better UI, only to upgrade later to FileNet when the original solution did not scale well!
