TIBCO iProcess, still the fastest
Pros
- Performance. TIBCO iProcess is the most performant BPM I've even seen.
- Manage large workloads. It can handle tens of thousands users and groups, hundreds of thousand or million live cases.
- It can also manage very large and complex process definitions.
- Very stable, once you get your business process up and running it is very stable.
Cons
- Due to its age iProcess is still a 32bit native application, albeit it has Java integration.
- It lacks case management and you end up also implementing your own business organization model to enrich iProcess users, groups and roles.
- It does not have process isolation, everything runs using shared jobs.
- Horizontal scalability is very limited but HA works very well.
Return on Investment
- Numbers are difficult to crunch, the best impact is that you always know the status of a single business case and the system runs fast and smoothly; your users will forget what waiting is.
- Case tracking is perfectly accurate, having that you can extract statistical data and predict and optimize your business very accurately.
- TIBCO iProcess administrators must be quite skilled; that increases your overall costs so the ROI will be delayed a bit.
