Cymbio vs. OpenText MBPM

It is less expensive and more accurate than paying staff to update inventory numbers in Mirakl and then type the orders into an ERP. A product like this is needed. Ideally, Mirakl Connect would improve their product so that it mapped orders into one customer record, but until that time, this is the best option that I have found.

Metastorm is well-suited for scenarios in which internal stress testing an application is needed in a hurry before showcasing it to potential customers. It supports different views of the process from Swimlane perspective, so different methodologies can be handled. It is an Enterprise level tool and handles both small and large projects quite well, although smaller companies may be stressed out by the amount of time it takes to properly maintain the application.

• Automated processes like uploading inventory numbers frequently
• Cymbio is able to map the dropship orders to the company customer record in Shopify and does not create a new record for every customer (like Mirakl Connect does)
• I like that the orders come through to Shopify without being marked as "Paid". I find this accounting easier to manually "pay" them in my system when I actually receive the payment from the vendor (this is another key difference between Cymbio and Mirakl Connect)

• Customer Service. It would be great if they had service hours that matched business hours in the USA, but even accounting for the time difference, the customer service is not quick or friendly.
• They take away services. I am not sure if they hook you with extra services and then take them away over time or if it just happened to be that I started at a time they offered a lot more for the same price. When I started, they completely handled setting up a new retailer. Then they would set up the data, but I had to reformat all of images. Then they did nothing to set up a new retailer. Not only do you now have to set up in Mirakl all on your own, when you send them the file from Mirakl to map, you then have to go into Cymbio and upload the prices as well - a whole new extra step.
• A more user-friendly customer interface. In my opinion, there is not much of a user interface at all. I think the interface for pricing uploads is terrible and cumbersome and they are not open to any feedback about that. It would be great if you could directly change a price, but even to change one price, you have to format an upload file. And that's all you can really do there. All other requests to add to assortments, etc are done though what looks like Google forms.

• The Metastorm process engine is based on an older version of .NET. Updating to a newer version would resolve several known issues with .NET email functionality.
• Metastorm builds web pages at run time. While the UI presented to the end user is fine, the Document Object Model is convoluted and subject to change with new releases. Providing a more simplified DOM or at very least a custom function to replace document.getElementById() would make client-side scripting a much more powerful tool.
• One function that I've seen Metastorm competitors do well, is email wizards. Having a WYSIWYG email editor would be really nice.

There are other products that seem to be a better fit for future initiatives.

In my opinion, not easy to use. Based on my experience, they started with employees only directly using the system. Having an app to have customers log in and do tasks on their own seems like an afterthought that has not been well executed. However, once you have these things in place, you really don't have to mess with it very often. If you change your prices frequently, it might be more of an issue.

Mirakl Connect created a new customer record for every order. This was messy, difficult to figure out which customers went with which retailer and I was concerned about having my retail partner's customer data mixed in with my own. For me, this was a deal breaker which was such a bummer since this is a free product!

We found that OpenText MBPM held its own quite well against IBM BPM. We ended up choosing OpenText MBPM due to the analytics, complex routing, and the ease of SOA service integration. Furthermore, the ability to quickly develop simple User interfaces make this tool a daily component of our most-used toolbox components.

• Better customer service because our inventory is accurate
• It pays for itself in saved staff time compared to doing all of these steps manually
• It is much more accurate to have the data transmitted electronically, there is no concern for mistyping
