We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and NGINX Plus 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."There is information during the process that the analyst will look at, their procedures. We created a part of the application such that the business can change those procedures as needed, on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. As the reps go through the process, they don't necessarily know it's changing, they just know they have to refer to some documentation, and the business can keep that up to date."
"There is a component of this BPM pool - I can't recall the name. What it does is, it allows you to create various scenarios and then run them quickly, before actually putting them onto a tool. So I think that part of the tool is really fantastic, because that enables you to create scenarios, create simulations, before actually going out and putting it into the tool itself"
"It provides a very robust environment to build an integration framework or workflow patterns that we have. A lot of changes or modifications have been made to this solution over the past few years. The features that they have added this time have helped developers like us to work on the developmental environment and leverage all the capabilities of the tool. This is what I like about this solution."
"The process creation."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the APIs and the BPM coach is a good tool. But if I had to pick one, it would be the API."
"One of the most notable things is how you can develop use cases with the customers, internal customers, but directly within. The software process model that BPM supports is really exciting in that aspect."
"One of the reasons for adopting this solution ten years ago was its ease of use. It had a lot of off-the-shelf functionality, and it did not need to be developed specifically for the project that we were implementing. That was the main reason for adopting it in the beginning."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"UI is an area with a shortcoming that needs improvement."
"The tool's workflow function is very strong."
"It is not user-friendly."
"I would say the scalability is very good but it's not perfect. It is much more scalable than it has been in the past but... it does require some work to keep it stable. So that is an area that should 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."
"Where it can be improved is Integration. I think that the direction that IBM is taking now, to have something that is much more integrated, that can be seen as one single solution, is clearly the right way."
"The engine itself tends to accumulate a lot of data that needs to be cleaned up, and that's the kind of thing that keeps it from, in some scenarios, scaling as much as it needs to. And then, when you're building solutions, if you're not careful to keep the screens from being associated with too much data, if you're going to just do things the way that a lot of people would just assume that they can do, without having experience of having made those mistakes before, it will accumulate a lot of data, and that will cause it to perform very badly."
"IBM BPM uses JavaScript as a programming language for the server-side. I don’t know why it’s not Java, as it’s more powerful and the JavaScript part is translated into Java anyway."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
IBM BPM is ranked 6th in Application Infrastructure with 105 reviews while NGINX Plus is ranked 2nd in Application Infrastructure with 27 reviews. IBM BPM is rated 7.8, while NGINX Plus is rated 8.8.
