"We'd also like to see it be Six Sigma or Lean compatible, a lot of people have asked about that."
"The solution is a very basic discovery product so it doesn't have that much modeling capability. This can be improved."
"We haven't yet been able to dabble in case management with Blueworks Live, as it is not yet offered with the product."
"The objects that the solution creates are not unique."

"IBM Blueworks is BPMN 2.0 compliant, but it does not adapt to the overarching BPMN 2.0 concepts."
"It is BPMN-compliant but the tool needs to be more involved to get into a completely 2.0 oriented tool. It has a few things but it's not the complete BPMN model."
