Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO iProcess

TIBCO iProcess is used by the technology and order fulfillment departments throughout the engineering segment. The product is the sole business management tool for processing orders and service requests.
All the orders usually pass through the BPM tools for orchestration and fulfillment activities and are transferred from one department to another based on the architecture of the process flow through swim lanes schema, which is a feature of the iProcess tool.
  • Connects perfectly with other TIBCO tools.
  • Transaction orchestrations through iDecisions.
  • Handles a large number of transactions without any problems.
  • Perfect and easy to use GUIs.
  • It is complex to use.
  • The official support for the tool is not available anymore through TIBCO.
  • Tibco iProcess has helped automate numerous processes and reduced manual intervention to a minimal.
  • High ROI.
TIBCO iProcess was developed before all the rest of the BPM tools, but Tibco did not release newer versions and decided to sunset the product rather than continuing it. For this reason, the rest of the BPM tools have taken over the market and are more easily implementable. Many opensource tools are also available in the market.

It integrates all the BPM principles along with the great user interface and independent modules and engines.
