This company is extremely difficult to work with. They have expressed that CareTend users are not important to them since that is such a small part of the WellSky business. They are very focused on extra fees and extra charges for everything. We have not even had the program for a year and they have changed everything initially promised related to pricing. They continue to come up with new ways they can get more money out of you. I would recommend for anyone considering this program, to look at other options first

• Workspace and Openspace Console that offers a powerful method for troubleshooting and viewing the routing within a process
• Easy representation of the corporate organization
• Powerful IDE to design a business process as a TIBCO Business Studio BPM Edition
• Testing and Debugging

• I am very unsatisfied with WellSky CareTend. The original CPR+ program was efficient and this copy they forced provider to switch to has many issues and does not include all of the capabilities in the prior program or as promised.

• A little bit too conservative. Not really anything leading edge. [Tibco] has plenty of customers, and that means they will probably be around forever, but [product enhancements] seem to be more [abundant in competitor product offerings].
• It would be great to have some pre-defined themes. Pie chart labels - it would be great to get more options for sizing and placement.
• I find it hard to trust the online portal too much. I doubt the security that is offered by this software.

• Poor customer service. Upper Management fired much of the staff soon after our transition.
• Outrageous fees that keep changing and increasing multiple times since we transitioned 9/2019. Getting a contract up front proves pointless as they find crafty ways around agreements to charge exorbitant fees. We are always overbilled. Just transitioned and bought a new server and now they tell us they are eliminating that process and we will be forced to host with them at a price of $66k/year for 20 users. This is above and beyond the 5% increase they gave us across the board 3 months after transitioning and the quarterly support fees that are outrageous.
• Any attempt to discuss or protest the charges is met with the explanation that WellSky is a very big company and CareTend is such a small component that they are not interested in our concerns.
• They do not have any clinical staff consulting or employed and are definitely missing functionality for what is needed in different clinical components or operations of the program.
• WellSky bought the CPR+ program that we were using and decided to eliminate all support of that program and forced customers to purchase the CareTend program. They promised we could do everything we could in CPR+ plus much more. That has not been the case. Our staff has spent unbelievable amounts of hours just to try to get some of the basic functions of CPR+. We have adapted many work arounds. CareTend sees fixes to their program issues as enhancements and insists on charging exorbitant fees to add these corrective updates.

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.

They fired most of the support staff. When your staff is new to the program, yet knows more than who you speak to when you call into support, you know that there is an issue. It can take a week or longer at times for a support person to get back to you about an issue. We have met with management on these issues and when they do acknowledge a functionality issue, they want to charge you a fee to provide the fix even though you already pay support fees

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.

We utilized CPR+ prior to WellSky and it was basically the same product. Much more cost effective and many fewer issues.

• In order to create a BPM management, you need to make a very solid data management model, which becomes very important in its reuse
• The business process is very often unconnected with the implementation logic and therefore plays in favor of the re-usability of the software
• Large customization at log level for which managing these tools can be handled minimizing effort
