Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to access Comindware Tracker from mobile has been greatly valuable to our organization. We are often out of office and this can create timeframe and task management issues. Being able to access tasks and time tracking while on the move is a great asset."
"This solution can be useful for tracking the different stages of projects and the people working on them."
"​It was easy to set up my team with access credentials to their files.​"
"The workflow tracker helps us to track our staff's workflow. It helps us to improve the productivity of our team."
"The clean interface, prioritization, and private task lists aren't present in other solutions."
"Low code development."
"Customize workflow processes visually and interactively."
"This software makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with the team. Any user can learn and start using the application quickly."
"The designer feature, compared to other solutions is easy to use."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to customize your rules and put them inside the tool."
"We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"This product does the job in terms of executing the workflow."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
 

Cons

"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable."
"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"We are using the backdated version of this software. That is why we lack of some features. I hope when we update the version, then all the problems will be solved."
"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"I am expecting new updates to improve the software."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
"The stability varies because it involves a lot of other components like databases, so sometimes if something goes wrong there, it can't recover from the fatal errors."
"Process Server is no more available than new products out there, but in general IBM has a high cost and complex setup."
"Our developers are complaining that it's too complex to maintain."
"It is a really powerful tool, but its entry price is so high, which makes it a very exclusive club for who gets to use it. The thing that seemed to be the most intolerable was that you could put lots and lots of users on it, and it worked fine, but if you put lots and lots of developers on it, it sure seemed to have challenges. The biggest challenge was the development because of the Eclipse tool. It just seemed like irrespective of the development team that you put together, whether it had 10 or 50 people, you would end up having to reboot the development server throughout the day when you concurrently had lots of people hammering on the system. The development server just got sluggish. This was true for every project I was on. Once you got more than about five people working on the system at the same time, it would just get slower and slower during development work, and the only way to fix it was to reboot the server. It became just like a routine. Sometimes, we would reboot at lunch or dinner time, which is silly. After the cloud instances started rolling out, I never saw that again. That was probably the one big advantage of the cloud version. Instead of using an independent Eclipse-based process development tool, we moved to web-based process and design. The web-based tool definitely had greater performance than the Eclipse-based tool. I never got onto another project after that with 50 people, so I don't know how the performance is when you get a large team on it, but it definitely seems that the cloud design tool was a massive improvement."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"Process versioning was tricky, not straightforward."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"We have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price per user works for me when they do not count my clients, which fill forms."
"The price is so reasonable."
"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"
"The pricing and licensing is as per market standards, except that the process of extending licenses is also easy."
"Great value for the money."
"This solution has a very lost cost."
"Setup cost is reasonable and average on the market. They offer simple licensing and price per user."
"The solution is expensive since it is an enterprise application."
"Price wise, IBM BPM is cheaper than other similar solutions and has excellent pricing."
"The pricing is very high."
"The price of the solution is fair for an enterprise solution that has both cloud and on-premise deployments and when comparing to competitors. Recently IBM has introduced Cloud Pak which allows for more flexible licensing options for automation and other features."
"The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."
"It has a low cost to implement. You'll get your money back in the same year that you complete the project."
"Licensing is managed by the client, but we know it is yearly. Camunda is relatively cheaper. There is not much difference in pricing of IBM and PEGA. For large licensing, there are discounts as well."
"It gives us a good return on investment."
