Having worked extensively on two different SharePoint projects over several years, and having conducted an extended trial use of Jive and several other enterprise social networking tools like it (Podio, Yammer, MangoApps, etc.), GIVEN JUST THOSE TWO OPTIONS, I would…

Richard We went with Information Builders (IBI)because of the superiority of IBI's products and services over Sisense and all of the other Business Intelligence (BI) space competitors, specifically as regards our #1 corporate value, end user experience. What this equates…

I agree, Rodrigo We chose iDatix for a lot of other reasons, but the clincher is that it uses Sequel as its back end which allows us to connect it to our ERP (Sage), our BI (IBI), and several other of our Sequel-focused business critical solutions.

IT Central Station provides a much needed service for peer to peer collaboration, learning and support.

We looked at those two identity management tools, as well as several others, and in the end chose to both finally test and implement Centrify to address our identity management and single sign-on needs Our conclusion is that Centrify is hands down the most user friendly…

We thought Tibco's Spotfire was the best of the three BI tools you've asked about in terms of 1) its end user experience, 2) their engineering receptivity to questions and suggestions, and 3) its' overall functionality for the money. As previously mentioned by another…

Citrix Xen all the way!

We tried Tibbr, Jive, TeamBox, Yammer, Podio, and several other Enterprise Social Networking solutions before trying out MangoApps, and haven't tried anything else since We love MangoApps for its ease of use, intuitive screens, synching with LinkedIn for profile imports,…

I will assume you mean BPM tools, systems or solutions in your question, rather than referring to the vast discipline of Business Process Management The first critical criteria for us in selecting our BPM system is that the system be able to easily and automatically…

Your question is a good one The question you've raised and the issues related to it cut to the very heart of what performance management is, along with the potential range of business benefits/value that we as performance managers can bring to the table ... that is, if…

Glad to be of assistance We’ve done loads of research on this ‘best fit BI’ topic over the past 15 years that we’d be happy to share. As with any comparative analysis or benchmarking question, the answer is truly relative to the needs of the business seeking a…

As mentioned previously, our selection for a BI solution is Information Builders, Incorporated (IBI) To that end, here is some information from an earlier IT Central Station posting that may help to inform the Tech Target interview process should you and Tech Target…

IDatix's BPM solution

Thanks for asking We very much appreciate IT Central Station as a forum for sharing important information about technology solutions and IT vendor companies from the perspectives of a wide variety of our peers in the IT Industry. Many of the reviews we read are valuable…

We have fairly extensively used Sharepoint in a couple of different, large-scale organizations during my career We truly gave Sharepoint a good college try over many years, but always found it to be just too cumbersome for users/not intuitive enough. Generally, buy-in…

Sorry, we have no generally usable matrix to share at this time, but Couple of related thoughts/sets of ideas: 1) First, since this can seemingly be a relatively complex topic (depending on your audience), ... and I often wonder what people are actually asking about…

We tried Jive for an extended testing time frame, as well as Yammer, Sharepoint, Podio, Tibco's Tibbr, Teambox, and most recently, MangoApps (and actually many others not worthy of much mention here) Our evaluation criteria includes four factors: end user…

Good points, Andy Seems the best we all might hope to accomplish in responding to the original post here is to tell our organization's stories, leadership support for, which BPM system was selected, and our collective reasons for selecting the BPM solutions we have chosen.…

Good morning John and Russell John: Thank you very much for the kind words and the referral/reference here! Russell: I’d be glad to visit with you (and any of the stakeholders as appropriate) anytime to discuss how we can assist the initiatives referenced here and share…

Russell In response to your IT Central Station request for assistance as noted in your email below, I would highly recommend Information Builders, Incorporated (IBI) for this company's BI needs. Their system is intuitive, user friendly, and their staff are both responsive…

Sorry, no. Not in my experience. John Becker 727-735-1407

No Not really in my wheel house.

Very good input provided so far My only additional thought is that it's about leadership and those key leaders' awareness of, training surrounding, and ultimate support for BPM as a methodology (as mentioned above) first and foremost. If that leadership focus isn't…

I don't have any experience with these two BI solutions, but just came back from a Information Builders Users Summit, in Orlando, FL yesterday, and they are doing some tremendous things in the BI space!

Sort of depends on our friends’ use case Different business sectors, business sizes, and the sophistication of the BI steward and the BI champion involved ( … hopefully they have designated these roles in the cases of the inquiring professionals noted in this thread)…

Sorry Researched both, but never actually used either one (?). Sort of depends our friend’s use case doesn’t it? Different business sectors, business sizes, and the sophistication of the BI champion involved (hopefully they have one in this case) have a lot to do…
