We performed a comparison between Camunda and IBM Blueworks Live based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"The solution is good for data models."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"It is a stable solution since there has not been any downtime. Everything loads fast."
"IBM Blueworks Live is cloud-based and provides easy access to all your processes in one place."
"We are you using the product as a process mapping tool and as part of a larger process improvement project. We use it with IBM BPM and IBM ODM. We get an automated workflow solution for our customers, an improved workflow automation."
"It has a built-in capability to capture process owners and managers against processes along with other process governance roles."
"The licenses are transferrable between different users."
"The stability is pretty good. It is highly available, which is key. You don't lose your work and can autosave."
"The solution is stable. All the refreshes run very well."
"For me, what I find to be the most valuable is its simplicity and the association with Microsoft Office."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."
"We haven't yet been able to dabble in case management with Blueworks Live, as it is not yet offered with the product."
"Some of the import functionality was a bit restrictive, in terms of loading data in from other data sources. Something as simple as Excel, loading data tables from Excel, wasn't great. And vice-versa. Some of the export and import functionality with something like Visio - which, I know it's a slightly different tool - but being able to work seamlessly with those other tool sets would've been quite useful. I know it was something that was in the pipeline to be looked at. So that would be useful."
"I would like to see integration with ERP systems. This would help us to simulate the process and see where the problems are. Though IBM Blueworks Live is a good tool for documenting, it is not good for simulating."
"There should be an option to import from and export to Microsoft Visio. Being able to move files back and forth between Blueworks Live and Visio would be good."
"In the solution Signavio, they have a customer journey mapping feature that should be added to IBM Blueworks Live. It's valuable to map or document the customer journey to identify the pains and opportunities in this process."
"In the Blue Works Live software boxes and lines are automatically placed by the programme and can't be easily manipulated."
"We would like the ability to add additional custom colors. We would like to color additional items to add notes to the blueprint."
"The ability to create a very structured rule. With the capability that we have right now, Blueworks Live is more process focused. We should be able to enhance it to include a lot more of decisions as well."
