We use it across many departments, and are continually designing new processes. It is uncommon for a week to go by where I am not approached by someone with an idea about how Metastorm can improve their work experience.,Rapid Development: Metastorm is designed to allow developers to quickly build (or change) workflows. Business Logic, rules and regulations change quickly in today's world and being agile about software changes keeps users productive and engaged.
Customization: While Metastorm provides many pre-built controls useful during rapid development cycles, it also provides a rich .NET framework which can be used to customize the experience. This provides a nice balance between ease of development and detailed customization.
Flexibility: I've evaluated many workflow solutions, and most are restrictive in form design or branching options. Metastorm closely approaches a true state machine architecture allowing for complex workflows and rich user interfaces.,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.,8,Metastorm has allowed us to evaluate new business much faster allowing us to move quickly when time matters.
We have used Metastorm to automate a number of complex and tedius tasks, freeing up our staff to do other important business.
Metastorm has allowed me to automate a number of administration functions, and share the software management responsibility with the users themselves.,,7,1000Eden MackMetastorm Review2014-08-25T00:56:12.640ZMetastorm is used across our organization for business process management and workflow creation.,Ability to customize workflows
