BP Logix Process Director vs. TIBCO® BPM Enterprise

It simply works great for our applications and requirements!

The scenario where TIBCO ActiveMatrix is well suited is in the scenario where there are more long-term business processes and in a complex corporate organization where there are many users with different privileges to perform actions on the same processes. It's less appropriate where there are no complex business process especially if the resubmit of the task in error is not required.

• BP Logix Process Director has an extremely easy to use graphical workflow designer.
• Good support for electronic signatures and physical signatures using hardware signature pads.
• Knowledge views and dashboards for easy access to data.

• TIBCO offers multiple ways to implement the sophisticated forms of event-driven BPM. It also balances the combination of business rules and AMX BPM for a different variety of IT Applications
• It depends on the Enterprise service bus which is message oriented middleware
• The integration of Spotfire with AMXBPM and BusinessEvents is a unique advantage

• Having a record of sent emails in a process would be helpful.
• A "scrubber" for PDF names would be helpful. Acrobat does not like to open items with particular characters in a file name.

• A little bit too conservative. Not really anything leading edge. [Tibco] has plenty of customers, and that means they will probably be around forever, but [product enhancements] seem to be more [abundant in competitor product offerings].
• It would be great to have some pre-defined themes. Pie chart labels - it would be great to get more options for sizing and placement.
• I find it hard to trust the online portal too much. I doubt the security that is offered by this software.

We evaluated 13 vendors when looking for a solution for our finance department. We invited 4 vendors to demo and picked BP Logix in late 2011. Integration was very quick and since we went live January 2012 we deployed three additional processes incorporating our finance, facilities, legal, IT and our operations departments.

For BPM we looked at some IBM products suites, BPM Online, Oracle products and Pega Systems. The decision to go with AMX BPM was based on the evaluation by the software architect team and the cost of acquiring the TIBCO suites.

• Process Director has had such a positive impact on our entire organization. Nearly every division and department throughout the whole organization either has working forms and workflows or has requested to have forms and workflows developed.
• The only negative or adverse condition is that we don't have enough development time for all the workflows requested to be developed.

• In order to create a BPM management, you need to make a very solid data management model, which becomes very important in its reuse
• The business process is very often unconnected with the implementation logic and therefore plays in favor of the re-usability of the software
• Large customization at log level for which managing these tools can be handled minimizing effort
