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."Good user interface and good add option."
"IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us."
"Setting it up is fairly easy. If somebody has knowledge of the system, he or she will be able to do it fairly quickly."
"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."
"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"The integration and design are valuable features."
"The new .NET Core has those middlewares, which are awesome from a security standpoint. With the old Framework or the newer Framework, middleware is basically an event pipeline. You configure and register it, and it handles things centrally. A simple example is logging. With the old Framework, you needed to try/catch blocks everywhere. Here, you configure the logging handler once, and it captures exceptions across the application. I really like the middleware pattern."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"The product has a good interface and easy-to-use programming language."
"It facilitated the streamlined scheduling process by amalgamating inputs from various sources, including location data and other systems."
"As we are a software company, we find that accessing resources using this technology is easier compared to the others."
"Pre-programmed functions for .NET Framework are widely available."
"The .NET Framework simplified operations dealing with the allocation and deallocation of memory spaces and the additional processing resources."
"Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product. I think IBM is working on it but I know there are a lot of requests coming in from different organizations on this."
"We have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
"We still have a couple of issues that we are working on right now with stability. Mostly on the configuration side of the tool, and it has been about a month that we have been working to stabilize the platform."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"They don't have a mechanism to achieve processes, data sources, and data."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"They could provide case studies to investigate and understand the functionality of business processes before development."
"The product's price is an area of concern, making it an area where improvements are required."
"If Microsoft would provide a monthly subscription at a cost that a developer can afford then it would be really helpful."
"The runtime environment for ASP.NET needs improvement to make it more universal."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"I would like to see more pre-built features in the MVC framework because as it is now, it's very open and you have to develop your own controls in order to use it."
"The cloud features must be improved."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
"It would be nice if the framework were able to work with additional environments and systems like Linux."
