Considered Both Products
Pipefy
Chose Pipefy
We started using software we already had (such as Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems. Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and …
Chose Pipefy
Pipefy is very process-oriented and not task or project-oriented. Other tools might offer different views such as the Gantt chart that makes a lot of sense if the project you are working on requires it. But Pipefy is better when the complexity of the process demands automation …
Chose Pipefy
Trello is a much simpler tool in general ways, it does not provide nearly 1/100 of the customization from papery. Also, Trello seems to be stuck in the past, the design never got refreshed, and on Pipefy, they are constantly keeping up the design fresh and beautiful.
Chose Pipefy
Pipefy was suggested by our new developer and we switched from Freshdesk. It was a lot better looking and easy to navigate. We used Google Forms at first but that isn't really what you should be using to keep track of bugs. Freshdesk focused more on the outside of the …
Chose Pipefy
I used Pipedrive at another company to organize quotes. I really liked the software but it wasn't what I was looking for for our company.

Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
TIBCO BPM Enterprise was selected for its easy to use features for the developers. Out of the box TIBCO BPM Openspace and Workspace is very convenient for the Admin users for managing the users and application requests. Support for scripted deployment using ANT is very useful …
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
Beats it hands down.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
ActiveMatrix BPM is is (or was, as its future is uncertain) a TIBCO replacement for iProcess. It is not as fast and reliable but it has a new generation of capabilities such as application server architecture, capabilities task routing, process patterns and so on.
It feels it …
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM improves the user experience, user task and form builder is fantastic, TIBCO scripting is better and more expressive for data management.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
I selected TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM because for me it is a fantastic and powerful product that permits me to easily implement complex business processes and offers many tools for monitoring, troubleshooting, and administration. In this product there is all that is needed when you …
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
TIBCO AMX BPM has several technical and categorical improvements compared to TIBCO iProcess.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
I did not select the product; the client whom I have been working with chose the product
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
Pega's licensing is very expensive.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
I have never used competing products, but experience in using Tibco BusinessWorks has helped to process BPM processes because it is possible to use the TIBCO logic learned during the experience over the years.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
For BPM we looked at some IBM products suites, BPM Online, Oracle products and Pega Systems. The decision to go with AMX BPM was based on the evaluation by the software architect team and the cost of acquiring the TIBCO suites.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
In addition to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM 4.X I have never tried other similar products.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
PegaRules Process Commander is much easier to configure the rules, and it follows a effective Class structure in background. All though BPM has a BOM, it is sometimes difficult to modify BOM once it is deployed.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
TIBCO is quite user-friendly with minimal coding and hence strongly recommended.

Pipefy is very well suited if you have a team doing any sort of process... for real! It simplified everything from our sales and marketing objectives/processes, to our onboarding and accounting side of things. Since you can share different pipes with others, it's easy to see where others are at in the process and move the card along while keeping others informed. It makes sure you don't miss any information or steps along the way, which is great if your process is detail-oriented. It is a little less appropriate for marketing efforts, but we still try to use it to keep track of things in a central space. Definitely best suited for sales, technical things, and accounting.

The scenario where TIBCO ActiveMatrix is well suited is in the scenario where there are more long-term business processes and in a complex corporate organization where there are many users with different privileges to perform actions on the same processes. It's less appropriate where there are no complex business process especially if the resubmit of the task in error is not required.

  • TIBCO offers multiple ways to implement the sophisticated forms of event-driven BPM. It also balances the combination of business rules and AMX BPM for a different variety of IT Applications
  • It depends on the Enterprise service bus which is message oriented middleware
  • The integration of Spotfire with AMXBPM and BusinessEvents is a unique advantage

Cons
  • I would like to be able to add a due date without a time attached.
  • I would like to see completed tasks be deleted after a set amount of time.

  • One of the challenges we faced with AMX BPM is the way the data is kept and it is hard to troubleshoot when a work items goes into halted state. Either there should be better documentation of what is under the hood or simplify the way work items data are stored.
  • Assigning privileges to system action where multiple organization models are used, seems to create ambiguity, as per the manual: "If different privileges are assigned to the same system action at different levels in the organization model, each level is checked when determining whether a user has the necessary privilege to be able to perform a particular system action. If the lowest level has no required privileges assigned, the parent entity is checked, and so on up the organization model hierarchy to the default, system-wide value."
  • It is cumbersome to add the same system action in all org models even though it won't be used everywhere.
  • When AMX BPM integrates with other products such as AMX BusinessWork, there should be a better way for the work items to handle broken communication. Data recovery seems to be an issue.

TIBCO BPM Enterprise can be integrated with other technologies like React UI which can be used to customize front end and TIBCO Business Works for processing. Services created in TIBCO BPM Enterprise can be exposed to REST which can be shared as API to external systems. Users can be created and modifies very easily using out of the box TIBCO BPM Openspace and Workspace. Events can be customized and this data can be used to generate reports.

Support Rating
Pipefy support is pretty good. There were a few instances where the agent didn't really understand what I was trying to get help with, but that was only once. Every other time it has been pretty fast and efficient. They are also very kind and understanding. I don't think they need much help in that dept

We started using software we already had (such as Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems. Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and Jira is too focused on development for our needs, and also hard to customize.

TIBCO BPM Enterprise was selected for its easy to use features for the developers. Out of the box TIBCO BPM Openspace and Workspace is very convenient for the Admin users for managing the users and application requests. Support for scripted deployment using ANT is very useful and apart from this, deployment can also be done within the TIBCO BPM Studio for Designers by connecting to a deployment server and deployment package can be bundled in a deployment archive (DAA file) and that can be shared with the deployment team who can use TIBCO BPM Administrator for deploying the application.
