Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
"The possibility to add Java code as embedded .jar, that increases the flexibility of the solution."
"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"Compliance with the BPMN 2.0 standard."
"It is being able to see the process, and understanding what the process is versus having to bury it in code somewhere."
"Everything is coupled together and comes as one solution."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"There are a lot of things that you get out-of-the-box: Timers and so on, which took a lot of effort and code before."
"Customers want improved productivity."
"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."
"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."
"I would like it more documentation during the design phase."
"We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM."
"We had hoped that the product would provide us with plug-ins like Salesforce. Its development environment needs to improve. We expect to see elastic features like containerization. We don't just need an on-prem virtual machine."
"It is a rather thick stack because you have to have WebSphere skills, IBM BPM skills, and an understanding of how the product runs on WebSphere. A lot of this will start to get a lot easier as they put it in containers, which will allow the platform to manage itself in some regards."
"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."
"Finding errors and bugs on the system is not easy. We can't seem to use the events or logs to find them, so it makes it difficult to debug the system. They really need to work on their debugging features to make is much, much easier. It would improve the solution considerably and should be something they add in a future release."
