TIBCO® BPM Enterprise vs. WEBCON BPS

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.

WEBCOM Business Process Suite is very well suited for all of our areas of business.

• 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

• Easy to develop, doesn't require high end programming crew.
• Short learning curve for end user.
• Easy to integrate with legacy technologies.

• 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.

• The configuration of the user interface is sometimes not so flexible. However, it can be developed from the (fully flexible then).

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.

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.

WebCon has got best (in my opinion) time-to-business rating
