BizFlow
Although the tool was developed locally in South Korea, it is still a good tool and is already validated in a number of industries. The problem is, no one seems to know the future of the product. It is okay to use it as a pilot tool for any non-commercial purpose, but to be used in a professional or enterprise setting, maintenance, licensing, and other things need to be guaranteed by HandySoft.

Well Suited Scenarios IBM Cloud Pak shines in scenarios where complex workflows, such as project management in web design, require automation. It's also highly effective for collaborative content creation, enabling seamless content approval. Less Appropriate Scenarios Conversely, it may be less suitable for organizations with simpler task management needs that do not fully leverage its robust capabilities. Also, companies with limited IT resources might face challenges during setup and customization.

Cons
BizFlow
  • It's not even clear that BizFlow is still managed by the company. It was a good tool before, but it looks like it's been fading out.
  • Although this was an R&D project in an academic institute, business support was extremely poor. We had no idea how to resolve issues; there were no online communities, documentation, or anyone who knew this product.
  • Few references in healthcare and clinical settings. We tried this for a proof-of-concept though, so it didn't matter.

  • For heavy load, the performance should be improved
  • The integration with the messaging system is a bit tricky and hence example documentation could be provided
  • It is a very nice and powerful tool however still not very known, marketing needs to be improved

Alternatives Considered
BizFlow
At the beginning of the project, we considered popular tools for the modeling and execution of business processes: jBPM, Activity, Tibco, etc. jBPM is the tool we liked because of its strong support of BPMN 2.0 and strong online community and support. We had different expectations for BizFlow, like professional and business supports. In the end, although haven't decided yet, most likely we will move forward with jBPM instead of BizFlow. Unless things change, the tool will fade out from the market silently.

Return on Investment
BizFlow
  • We ended up deciding to not use BizFlow for future projects. The main reason wasn't due to ROI or cost, but was due to our uncertainty of the management and future direction of the tool by the company.
  • Besides the business issue, as far as reasonably priced software goes, it is a good tool.
  • Adopting BizFlow into a healthcare industry may come with additional expense due to its lack of references in the industry, which should be additionally considered.
