Beats it hands down.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
ActiveMatrix BPM is is (or was, as its future is uncertain) a TIBCO replacement for iProcess. It is not as fast and reliable but it has a new generation of capabilities such as application server architecture, capabilities task routing, process patterns and so on.
It feels it …

Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
TIBCO AMX BPM has several technical and categorical improvements compared to TIBCO iProcess.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
I did not select the product; the client whom I have been working with chose the product
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
Pega's licensing is very expensive.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
I have never used competing products, but experience in using Tibco BusinessWorks has helped to process BPM processes because it is possible to use the TIBCO logic learned during the experience over the years.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
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.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
In addition to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM 4.X I have never tried other similar products.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
PegaRules Process Commander is much easier to configure the rules, and it follows a effective Class structure in background. All though BPM has a BOM, it is sometimes difficult to modify BOM once it is deployed.
Chose TIBCO® BPM Enterprise
TIBCO is quite user-friendly with minimal coding and hence strongly recommended.

BizFlow BPM SuiteTIBCO® BPM Enterprise
Likelihood to Recommend
Although the tool was developed locally in South Korea, it is still a good tool and is already validated in a number of industries. The problem is, no one seems to know the future of the product. It is okay to use it as a pilot tool for any non-commercial purpose, but to be used in a professional or enterprise setting, maintenance, licensing, and other things need to be guaranteed by HandySoft.

It is well suited for high-level analytics or real-time integration among multiple applications. But it's powerful and over complicated and expensive for most small and midsize BPM projects. BPM is used for visual data discovery. It also has two stream analytics CEP Platforms. It offers high-level real-time analytics and operational intelligence.

Pros
  • BizFlow has a long history of development and implementation in a variety of industries. Its modeling tool is well-designed and user-friendly.
  • BizFlow supports seamless integration with backend services like MySQL databases and web services. Since it is an enterprise-wide BPM tool, system performance was stable and robust.
  • It supports modern m-health requirements, with social BPM functions and mobile support. Mobile integration especially was good, with the provider's secure messaging functions.

  • Assign work items to set of users. You can assign work to users based on the groups they belong to in the org model or by their position.
  • Manage user access and privileges, each set of users can perform a set of tasks based on their privileges and we can also restrict the actions for each level of users.
  • Escalating work items: A user can escalate a work item to a senior user and the matter can be progressed to another level or get closed straight away. The life cycle of work items is stored in the database where it gets reflected in Spotfire reports.

Cons
  • It's not even clear that BizFlow is still managed by the company. It was a good tool before, but it looks like it's been fading out.
  • Although this was an R&D project in an academic institute, business support was extremely poor. We had no idea how to resolve issues; there were no online communities, documentation, or anyone who knew this product.
  • Few references in healthcare and clinical settings. We tried this for a proof-of-concept though, so it didn't matter.

Alternatives Considered
At the beginning of the project, we considered popular tools for the modeling and execution of business processes: jBPM, Activity, Tibco, etc. jBPM is the tool we liked because of its strong support of BPMN 2.0 and strong online community and support. We had different expectations for BizFlow, like professional and business supports. In the end, although haven't decided yet, most likely we will move forward with jBPM instead of BizFlow. Unless things change, the tool will fade out from the market silently.

Return on Investment
  • We ended up deciding to not use BizFlow for future projects. The main reason wasn't due to ROI or cost, but was due to our uncertainty of the management and future direction of the tool by the company.
  • Besides the business issue, as far as reasonably priced software goes, it is a good tool.
  • Adopting BizFlow into a healthcare industry may come with additional expense due to its lack of references in the industry, which should be additionally considered.
