User Testimonials
	OpenText MBPM
Likelihood to Recommend	OpenText 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.

Pros	OpenText Complex routing of tasks based on calculated criteria Linking between tasks and accessing relevant information Organising, scheduling and prioritising Different views for different people Incentivized Peter Green Director of Technology Read full review
Cons	OpenText 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. Eden Mack Senior BPM Developer Read full review
