Chose OpenText MBPM
Before first using Metastorm at a previous company, I reviewed 30 systems, shortlisted 4 and chose Metastorm as being intuitively the easiest to develop with. We have recently looked at a number of alternatives but decide to stick with OpenText BPM.
Chose OpenText MBPM
Metastorm was used to meet specific client needs. Ease of use and navigation was one big factor
Chose OpenText MBPM
These products are currently being reviewed for new initiatives. Metastorm will also be considered.
Chose OpenText MBPM
I have evaluated [business process management] products such as Nintex, K2, and Intapp. Each of these products are excellent options, and each have strengths and weaknesses. Metastorm and K2 in my opinion offer more flexibility, but require a higher level of technical ability …

mPower is well suited in all the team management and tagging details. I can check my team members and their access details on mPower. I can check their employee codes and their current band. It is a complete help for all the tagging issues and changes with HR. Employee leaves and resignation can also be managed easily with mPower.

OpenText MBPM is well suited for rapid application development where process workflows are well designed in a detailed environment. A servicing organization could benefit from being able to manage and design complex case management processes and applications. It is not suited for the automotive industry where complex custom engineering processes exist within product engineering (vehicle) and manufacturing plants.

  • 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.
