We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow, IBM BPM, and WorkflowGen based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Apache and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The best feature is the customization."
"The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"Integration is a big plus for me."
"One of the most notable things is how you can develop use cases with the customers, internal customers, but directly within. The software process model that BPM supports is really exciting in that aspect."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"IBM BPM is stable."
"Enabled us to convert most of the paper-based work into an automated workflow process, and some of them were converted into straight-through processing, with no human interaction involved whatsoever."
"Our customers use the solution as a workflow platform to manage their processes."
"With the tester coach wherein you can interact with the interface while you're designing the process."
"The process creation."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"The dashboards could be enhanced."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"Our developers are complaining that it's too complex to maintain."
"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."
"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."
"The analysis reports could be much better."
"User Interface components could be further refined to enhance and extend customizations dictated by end clients."
"I'd like the tool to be more flexible."
"Initial setup is very complex. Too many steps need to be done at the database and server levels, and complex configurations. From what I see, a lot of these steps can be and should be automated."
"This is technology, and there's always room for improvement. It would be better to have a single solution. Trying to have an overview in terms of this solution brings together the concepts of BPM processes, customer journeys, and an automation part for KPIs. All of this working together and coming up with a single solution with privacy is more commercial than anything else."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
