Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The workflows are the most valuable features, particularly for us, because we were attempting to automate processes by utilizing workflows to provide a hands-off comparison between the bot and the human."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"Pega BPM's most valuable feature is the use of CDX to solve problems."
"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"Decreased time for plane departures and landing, supported analytical insight for planning of three to six month forecasting, and helped with operational decision planning and support."
"It is quite configurable, which is the most exciting feature. We can easily configure it as per our needs."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Pega BPM has a full suite for any enterprise. It is a process orchestration platform. It has detailed features for case management and workflows."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
"From a technical point of view, it would be helpful to have some advanced analytics to help with configuration. We have a lot of unwanted features and it would be good to configure it more appropriately so that we are using just exactly what we need."
"There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"The solution's pricing model or licensing model could be a little better."
"First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets."
"The licensing cost is very high."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
