Considered Both Products
Okta Workflows
Chose Okta Workflows
I think Okta is so much more complete and FUB is more only sales oriented instead of Customer Service, with Okta you can call, chat, get in contact internally with other departments, and do different things to solve customer issue.
Chose Okta Workflows
We have not used other products similar to Okta.
Chose Okta Workflows
I evaluated Zapier and Microsoft Flow before coming across Azuqua. Zapier was too simplistic and didn't allow for transfer of enough variables. The price point also didn't work for the value it could provide. Microsoft Flow couldn't make the connection with Smartsheet, and I …
Chose Okta Workflows
Stampley - on the surface they look similar, but I came across this alternative after integrating with Azuqua so I haven't fully evaluated it against Azuqua.
Chose Okta Workflows
None, Azuqua seemed to do what we needed.
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua handles multi-stream processes very well, however provides some nuances with connecting data.
Chose Okta Workflows
Zapier primarily, I prefer the workflow creation in Azuqua. The UI is very user friendly.
Chose Okta Workflows
I have used Mulesoft, Workato, my own code and in past years heavyweight data (e.g. ETL) platforms along with a number of bus technologies. In this case, I was looking for the cloud-based approach that matches our strategy of being totally cloud-focused along with simpler …
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua was the first application we assessed for our purposes, and served our needs so well that we felt no need to search further. It gave us the solutions we needed in a way that was easy to set up and maintain, and the support we received was above and beyond expectations, …
Chose Okta Workflows
I had to use the Automate tool for funneling image assets in bulk (tens of thousands) from FTPs into various destinations on an eCommerce platform. The user interface was quite harsh in comparison to Azuqua. Far more text/code line driven.
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua offered the most customization of the other platforms we tried. While it was comparably intuitive to use, in terms of entry level, Azuqua maintained this intuitiveness at higher levels of sophistication/integration whereas the other platforms either lacked the same logic …
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua was more intuitive.
Chose Okta Workflows
IFTTT / Zapier - There really isn't a comparison as Azuqua allows for full customization of your flows and IFTTT and Zapier do not.

Talend Open Studio is built more for doing database / file integrations and it can do API calls. Talend is much bigger but cannot accomplish what …
Chose Okta Workflows
We have not used another tool besides Azuqua to help us solve these business needs.
Chose Okta Workflows
Smartsheet notifications is the main competitor for what we use Azuqua for. When we got Azuqua, there was no competitor and Smartsheet actually recommended it as the solution. Now, we split up the work between the 2 tools and use Smartsheet for the easier notifications and …
Chose Okta Workflows
Easy to build out complex if/then scenarios and fire of multiple other workflows within one workflow. Like the UI of seeing how data is being utilizes, ported, and manipulated across the workflows. Also like the workflow history for optimization as well as troubleshooting. Raw …
Chose Okta Workflows
I evaluated another platform, but I can't recall their name.

ServiceRocket didn't work. I tried to integrate with them, but it was a mess and a waste of time. The other platform was 10x as expensive at Azuqua.
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua was the only product we looked at in this space.
OpenText MBPM
Chose OpenText MBPM
We found that OpenText MBPM held its own quite well against IBM BPM. We ended up choosing OpenText MBPM due to the analytics, complex routing, and the ease of SOA service integration. Furthermore, the ability to quickly develop simple User interfaces make this tool a daily …
Chose OpenText MBPM
Before first using Metastorm at a previous company, I reviewed 30 systems, shortlisted 4 and chose Metastorm as being intuitively the easiest to develop with. We have recently looked at a number of alternatives but decide to stick with OpenText BPM.
Chose OpenText MBPM
Metastorm was used to meet specific client needs. Ease of use and navigation was one big factor
Chose OpenText MBPM
These products are currently being reviewed for new initiatives. Metastorm will also be considered.
Chose OpenText MBPM
I have evaluated [business process management] products such as Nintex, K2, and Intapp. Each of these products are excellent options, and each have strengths and weaknesses. Metastorm and K2 in my opinion offer more flexibility, but require a higher level of technical ability …

The integration I used Azuqua for was based on Salesforce, Wrike and Office 365. I found the integration of Salesforce reasonably straightforward, Wrike was limited in the "cards" capability but functional (there are bugs but there are also workarounds but they required assistance from the Azuqua support team) and Office 365 was quite immature (primarily around Excel bugs but also email was limited).

OpenText MBPM is well suited for rapid application development where process workflows are well designed in a detailed environment. A servicing organization could benefit from being able to manage and design complex case management processes and applications. It is not suited for the automotive industry where complex custom engineering processes exist within product engineering (vehicle) and manufacturing plants.

Pros
  • The best part about Azuqua is that you do not need to write code. You do however need to have an understanding of logic and how the software works. This happens to fit me perfectly as someone with basic programming experience.
  • Their Support is second to none. Not only are they extremely quick and responsive, but their answers are never canned responses and always provide valuable content.
  • They seem to take feedback seriously and will continue to evolve and make a better product.

  • Complex routing of tasks based on calculated criteria
  • Linking between tasks and accessing relevant information
  • Organising, scheduling and prioritising
  • Different views for different people

Cons
  • I think it requires an easy way to migrate flows created from one user to then move the ownership to another user. It happened to us that one of our engineers left the company and he had the Azuqua account and flows. It required quite some time, cases and telephone calls to do the migration to my account.

  • 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.

Usability
The system is working as it should, keeping our programs safe from outside hackers. Helping us keep our passwords safe, convenient and already ready to get us logged into the program securely and quickly. Verification that only authorized users are able to access our company's programs. Okta Workflows (Azuqua) is a very good system that has helped our company greatly.

Return on Investment
  • Increased time savings. We could not function as a matter of daily business if we did not have a tool to automate project folders (and complementary workflow management profiles) for the thousands of projects that flow through daily.
  • Opens up a greater understanding of all the silos and divisions within the company infrastructure and tests secure means to link those groups safely and share information.
  • Opens up the chance to communicate with other API information sources if our company is doing a partnership with another organization. Granted everything is square with IT security.

  • Easy and convenient access to client configuration information
  • It provides numerous built-in controls which are quite useful during rapid development cycles
  • It also provides a tremendously rich .NET framework which can be used to tweak the experience to the needs of each individual customer
