We performed a comparison between IBM BPM, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, and Tungsten TotalAgility based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Apache and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."IBM's deployment box is one huge black box. We can create all the services with our own code or without a codebase, however, we have a huge amount of space with practically no limitation."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"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."
"We use the solution to develop and deliver products."
"This product does the job in terms of executing the workflow."
"I like the APIs and the BPM coach is a good tool. But if I had to pick one, it would be the API."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"Better integration with other products in the automation suite."
"It might not be suitable for entry level clients because it comes with a huge number of modules for processing that at times might not be necessary for upcoming clients."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"We would appreciate more user-friendly definitions of processes with a more user-friendly interface for documenting processes."
"IBM BPM lacks openness, that is, the ability to become open for new options in terms of APIs, front-end development, and ecosystem. IBM BPM has been quite closed. One of the main improvements would be to somehow embed the rules engine into IBM BPM. Merging IBM BRMS and the rules engine with IBM BPM would be helpful. If there was some simpler way to define rules without having to put IBM BRMS on top of it, it would be good. It's something that we can get out of Camunda but not out of IBM BPM."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
