Considered Both Products
DocuWare
Chose DocuWare
We actually moved from DocuWare to Plate IQ because Plate is restaurant specific and shares many item codes, SKU #'s, etc from major vendors. However, we continue to use DocuWare for other data management because it was so useful to us while we used it for AP.
Chose DocuWare
Managing documents and processes are very similar. The added value of Docuware Cloud is seen in the administrative management and the investment cost.
ProcessMaker
Chose ProcessMaker
Based on our experience, the agent for ProcessMaker Task Mining is more robust than for either of the competing products. However Celonis is has a significantly more mature user interface, and UiPath has a significantly more configurable interface.
Chose ProcessMaker
We looked at all and tested some with the final recommendation being for ProcessMaker. The features the were key to our decision making were its easy integration options and capabilities, its open source version for our extended customization needs and its ease of use and web …
Chose ProcessMaker
In the short run, ProcessMaker blows KiSSFLOW away. It is easy to understand and use. But in the long run, once you get into more complicated actions, they equal out. The price was right, and while we eventually went for another option, ProcessMaker would have been the next …
Chose ProcessMaker
Before making the decision to get ProcessMaker, we assessed different and best options in the market, which are also quite competitive. Kissflow, Blueworks Live, and Bizagi, being the most relevant and Adonis, to mention the ones we consider the most relevant and capable of …
Chose ProcessMaker
It is far cheaper than JIRA. I have used JIRA , the UI is good as compared to processmaker. But compared to workflow designing and management, I found processmaker far easier. And yes ProcessMaker requires less resources to run on.

Likelihood to Recommend
We can use Docuware Cloud as a checks and balances program for our application processing in our data department. This is a time saver and allows us to access information at our multiple locations, as well as we have clients in various states. We can assign documents to others throughout the processing of applications, and this has allowed us to keep better track of our documentation with clients.

I loved it. You will not get an easier interface. You can develop workflow processes in a simple way, one which allows anyone to understand what you are trying to accomplish; however, you will get into some issues if your employees are scared of coding (when you get to the advanced features). For some, this will never be an issue as the knowledge you need is very basic. But for the school I was working with, it would have stopped them cold

  • Connecting activities across applications which are not part of the core landscape (e.g. Excel, MS Teams)
  • Being able to identify activities being performed such as typing into a form, reading content on pages, or navigating between pages in an application.
  • Identify copy / paste events, including the source system / application being copied from and the target.

Cons
  • No active directory integration, this doubles up user management.
  • No Outlook integration. Would be nice to be able to interact with Docuware from email.
  • No mobile application. We have many remote users that would benefit from this.

  • Complications when you get to the more advanced pieces. When trialing, I found that the more advanced a process got, the more complicated it got for me in coding. When you begin using the more advanced features, you will find that you need to have a basic knowledge of coding - otherwise you won't go any further. This was my sole issue. Unfortunately, it was one that would have brought the school to a grinding halt if they were to ever get more complicated than they were.

Support Rating
We use a third-party company to assist in the support process, and they have been great to work with. Quick turn around on issues and almost immediate communication concerning support tickets. They are more than willing to consult with our IT partners as well, which is a must for our business.

I gave this rating for the adaptability and growth for Processmaker for its many capabilities for support and flexibility. These include ease of integration with many other systems, its open source version for its extended customization and capabilities of the tool and its low-code / no-code capabilities to be able to easily design and automate processes with minimal or no-code.

Return on Investment
  • Purchasing approval control and monitoring. Allows us to keep tighter hold of the budget.
  • Had to spend considerably more than expected. We needed to hire a developer to build integrations.

  • I'm using Communication edition to introduce BPMN in my organization. I can build the first process in a short time, make my boss more confident with my job.
  • But, with ProcessMaker, we need more time to design code to handle the process, and without PHP/Javascript Programmer, it seems hard to work with more and more processes online.
  • However, IE Browser is not well supported, somewhat let the user confuse.
