Quick and Light Collaboration Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cornel P. | Hotel Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2019 **What do you like best about webMethods BPM?** I love how user-friendly and clean the interface is. Subtile design elements make it visually appealing, which makes a difference in our satisfaction considering how much of our day is spent looking at spreadsheets. I also like that it is relatively easy to use. Right away, new users can create beautiful, basic spreadsheets, especially making use of the curated templates. There are more advanced functions, however, that require a little more research and statistical know-how to employ. **What do you dislike about webMethods BPM?** There are a couple of improvement that would make sense: -When you add a new record in a base the sheet does not autorefresh and sort. You have to manually go to the menu and sort to get everything in the right order. -The formatting for printing grid reports could be improved. They look great on the screen, but not quite as nice on paper. **What problems is webMethods BPM solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love being able to use webMethods BPM for my content calendar and other project planning on a regular basis.
