Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"It is transparent to business users because it is mostly picture based modelling."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"By automating several tasks, we have already reduced a lot of work for the business."
"It has improved my organization quite a bit. It brought awareness to what the business processes are, even to the business side, who did not necessarily know what they are."
"Provides the power to understand and automate processes."
"Overall, I'm satisfied with the product. If you compare it with other products, it's probably not as easygoing or as simple to implement as the rest. But after you get used to it, it works. It has a lot of capabilities and potential, but the people, who come from different technologies, have some difficulty getting used to the way of working with IBM products."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"The tool's workflow function is very strong."
"IBM BPM's UI is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"IBM BPM integrated with Spark UI and the UI is now much better, but they still need to improve the UI because competitors have predefined templates and other additional features. In these competitor's solutions, you are able to use the templates, map your data, and the form is ready to use. With this solution, you need to write a lot of code to have the same quality as the competitor's templates. It would be a benefit to make this platform more towards low-code or no-code."
"The debugging needs improvement. There is some confusion surrounding the debugging."
"The integration could be improved."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"Initial setup is very complex. Too many steps need to be done at the database and server levels, and complex configurations. From what I see, a lot of these steps can be and should be automated."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product. I think IBM is working on it but I know there are a lot of requests coming in from different organizations on this."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
