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.

• Now takes Visio process flow diagrams and converts them into Navvia for process document production.
• Allows you to build your own profiles (essentially a custom template) for documentation.
• Has good reference / trainingmaterial for ITIL, CoBit etc..

• Complex routing of tasks based on calculated criteria

• I don't particularly like the Navvia RACI being a RA(S)CI. Not a big issue however.

• 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.

Seems very easy to use. Basically if you are OK with Process flow diagramming then "the rest" is easy.

Although it is intuitive to use it does require training

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.
