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."IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"This tool is very useful when it comes to enterprise-grade automation and governmental processes for the security aspects, performance, and reliability."
"The designer feature, compared to other solutions is easy to use."
"This solution is very stable."
"IBM's deployment box is one huge black box. We can create all the services with our own code or without a codebase, however, we have a huge amount of space with practically no limitation."
"We have used a lot of out-of-the-box reporting on the process performance metrics. We have been able to make suggested changes to staff for this role or streamlining by eliminate some activities where people were not requiring a lot of work in the first place."
"This is one of the best tools to support the business and the way we work, and the numerous processes we need to implement."
"We have automated processes with IBM BPM and DocuSign. Its valuable features include low-code, timer, etc. It makes it simple to implement the products. We generate reports using the solution."
"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
"The workflow of BAW's automation is handled inside of BPM, so we can see what state it is at and how things are processing through."
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is useful for helping us design custom user interfaces and processes we require."
"The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is stable because the different infrastructure elements, such as the OS and middleware have been used for a long time."
"It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it."
"This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
"If the processing gets better, it would be more efficient."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"I would like it more documentation during the design phase."
"It is not user-friendly."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"There needs to be better documentation for IBM BPM in a central place. There is not any standard documentation for each component available and has been a barrier for developers."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"The UI of the solution is not good. They should work to update the solution and make it better and fresher."
"The initial setup is actually a really complicated process."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful."
"One significant challenge is the lack of accessible forums or resources to seek help or information when problems arise."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is not a very user-friendly solution."
"From what I understand, in the next release they're actually going to combine all of this together as one integrated solution... If we could have one unified way to build a solution, that would really help."
