We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and Microsoft System Center 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."Compliance with the BPMN 2.0 standard."
"The system integration layer is valuable because this enables an organization to create a single point where all the key organizational master data is held in different IT applications across different functions, that can be accessed and updated."
"Scalability is good. In the time that I have been there, we have added more JVMs to help with the increased workload, so it does scale."
"Everything is coupled together and comes as one solution."
"The solution offers great notifications."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"It has reduced a lot of manual errors and processes."
"Good user interface and good add option."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ease of configuration and the easy discovery of the environment."
"I like the automated features of it that let you schedule those updates and the ability of the product to focus on the specific updates, specific platforms, and products that we're interested in keeping up to date."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft System Center is its GUI (graphical user interface)."
"Managment Packs for Microsoft-specific products, help us implement the best practices for each product."
"The solution is easily available. That's its most valuable aspect."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"IBM BPM is stable, but sometimes there are issues with the server."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"There is room for improvement in the stability."
"The analysis reports could be much better."
"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."
"We care about technology and support because support is very important and a BPM is not easy to implement."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"The initial setup was complex. It is not always easy to launch a new platform and it needed better coordination with IBM."
"Could be more user friendly."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
"The solution's dashboard needs improvement."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
"They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution."
