Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a stale solution."
"With the Process Center, I can go to one place and view what all the environments are doing."
"This tool is very useful when it comes to enterprise-grade automation and governmental processes for the security aspects, performance, and reliability."
"The solution is stable."
"Provides the power to understand and automate processes."
"Its most valuable features are usability and integration with other IBM products."
"The possibility to add Java code as embedded .jar, that increases the flexibility of the solution."
"The solution offers great notifications."
"User-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features."
"The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool."
"In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."
"It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation."
"User Interface components could be further refined to enhance and extend customizations dictated by end clients."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"The integration could be improved."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Could increase vulnerability and security patches to make it more robust."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the stability."
"The licensing is expensive and should be improved."
"Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration."
"It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."
"The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The price of this product is high and could be improved."
"I would like to see, from within the Web Console, being able to define the project and custom templates per user; almost like how CloudSpec has approached the solution."
"In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs."
"The product lacks GUIs. The tool should have more GUIs available, along with easier product documentation."
