Pros
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem.""It's a very complete solution.""The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories.""It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop""The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost.""It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered.""It is a stable solution."

More ADONIS Pros →

"The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us.""Automating the whole workflow process to give our data steward the ability to take actions rapidly, and making sure we have all the data synced within the different platforms that we are using.""IBM BPM is a stable solution.""We have used a lot of out-of-the-box reporting on the process performance metrics. We have been able to make suggested changes to staff for this role or streamlining by eliminate some activities where people were not requiring a lot of work in the first place.""Integration is a big plus for me.""The functionality to design UI to be responsive and can run on multiple devices.""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.""There is a component of this BPM pool - I can't recall the name. What it does is, it allows you to create various scenarios and then run them quickly, before actually putting them onto a tool. So I think that part of the tool is really fantastic, because that enables you to create scenarios, create simulations, before actually going out and putting it into the tool itself"

More IBM BPM Pros →

"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require.""I find the data lineage features most valuable.""The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users.""The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work.""One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles.""The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production.""What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful.""The support is good."

More Oracle BPM Pros →

Cons
"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly.""If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS.""We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes.""This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available.""Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better.""The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian.""There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."

More ADONIS Cons →

"The initial setup was complex.""I would like to see a lot more case studies.""The interface is limited and should improve in the future.""I would like to see the front-end support improved because it should be fully integrated and supported.""The options for customization could be improved. More customization using your own code would be beneficial.""There needs to be better documentation for IBM BPM in a central place. There is not any standard documentation for each component available and has been a barrier for developers.""All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service.""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.​"

More IBM BPM Cons →

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices.""Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses.""Pricing is an area that could use improvement.""Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations.""The product must reduce its cost.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."

  • "Starting out with Express can also help reduce the cost for adopting the product."
  • "​We have definitely seen ROI. When we first kicked it off, we said it had to pay for itself within three years, and it did."
  • "It gives us a good return on investment."
  • "We chose to purchase IBM BPM because it was bundled with the actual RPA program/solution that we decided to purchase. We decided to use Automation Anywhere tool (RPA), and it is was bundled with IBM BPM."

  • "It has a low cost to implement. You'll get your money back in the same year that you complete the project."
  • "The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."

  • "As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
  • "The licensing model is good."
  • "It's pried high, this solution is expensive."

  • "The pricing is very expensive."

    IBM BPM Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing IBM BPM. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Increased efficiency and cost savings: IBM BPM can help you optimize existing processes and incorporate more structure into the development of new processes by removing process redundancies and bottlenecks.
    • More scalable processes: The solution enables better process execution and workflow automation, which transfers well when scaling processes.
    • Greater transparency: Because IBM BPM’s process automation clearly defines owners for tasks along the process, it provides more transparency and accountability throughout a given process. In turn, this fosters more communication among teams.
    • Less dependency on development teams: IBM BPM offers low-code features which remove potential dependencies on development. Business users can be onboarded onto these tools quickly and easily, thereby increasing process automation across the company.

    Reviews from Real Users

    IBM BPM is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it’s good for developing complex apps, is robust, and has helpful team management and process performance features.

    Zoran C., Owner/CEO at IT SPHERE, says, “It is perfect if you have to develop complex apps without much coding (only java script). It is also good if you don't have much IT resources in your company and would like to involve business analysts in the process of developing apps. My opinion is that it can do about 50% of all developers' work.”

    Suhas V., BPM Architect at GBM, mentions, “Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."

    A BPM Consultant at a financial services firm comments, "Some of the features that I like the most are team management and process performance. They are both very useful and very powerful with regard to the workflow."

    A Digital Banking & Innovation Director at a financial services firm expresses, “The processing functionality makes it easy to change processes and workflows easily.”

    The Industry's Most Complete and Unified BPM Solution A complete solution for all types of processes that provides a unified process foundation, user-centric design, and social BPM interaction. Reduces complexity and risk and increases business efficiency, visibility, and agility.
