We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and Microsoft .NET Framework based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The process creation."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"We like that it does not require a lot of hours to train our people."
"The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"IBM BPM should become cloud-native. It should also add a cloud deployment feature."
"It's easy to create and integrate things."
"The most valuable feature is the financial accounting."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft .NET Framework is debugging."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"I like that ASP.NET is used for the framework and the core web services."
"The solution is not limited in storage, is customizable and simple to use."
"The solution's technical support is very good...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"We would appreciate more user-friendly definitions of processes with a more user-friendly interface for documenting processes."
"The people working on the front desk are having some problem with managing the documentation. For instance, they get a picture, and if the picture comes rotated 90 degrees, together with a picture that is not rotated, they have some problems dealing with that, technically. There are some minor aspects that on the usability side that are still lacking. That has to do with FileNet, too, I'm talking about the suite together."
"Better integration with other products in the automation suite."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"Finding errors and bugs on the system is not easy. We can't seem to use the events or logs to find them, so it makes it difficult to debug the system. They really need to work on their debugging features to make is much, much easier. It would improve the solution considerably and should be something they add in a future release."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"The stability varies because it involves a lot of other components like databases, so sometimes if something goes wrong there, it can't recover from the fatal errors."
"This solution is best used with some training."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"I would like to see a better response time from the technical support."
"I would want the product to be integrated with the different AI tools in the future since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"Better integration with other tools to make the operation faster would be an improvement."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"The solution has difficulty integrating with other products. There are no such difficulties if you have the same platform, hardware, and operating system."
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac."
