We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"We made the transformation to agile. Altogether with BPM, it is the total package."
"The possibility to add Java code as embedded .jar, that increases the flexibility of the solution."
"Integration is a big plus for me."
"I liked its robustness the most. It was a very robust platform in my experience. It seemed like a very stable and powerful tool for handling lots of concurrent users and hammering at the system."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM 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."
"Its Analytics is the most valuable feature."
"It is very interactive."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"Customer support is fantastic. They are very helpful whenever we get on the line with the support team."
"The main feature I find crucial in MEGA HOPEX is the catalog view, which provides a comprehensive visualization of all artifacts in one repository. Another valuable aspect is the availability of out-of-the-box outcomes, such as strategy maps and BPA models, eliminating the need for additional configuration. MEGA HOPEX allows users to focus on specific business areas, like risk management or data governance, providing a high-level overview while enabling deep dives into specific areas of interest. For risk management, MEGA HOPEX allows users to assess impacts, create recovery plans, and track action plans."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good."
"Every module sets up the same information in a unique repository."
"Process versioning was tricky, not straightforward."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"It is not user-friendly."
"We have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product. I think IBM is working on it but I know there are a lot of requests coming in from different organizations on this."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"They do tend to push people to their professional services, instead of helping the customers with their problems. I understand this is their business. At the same time, however, they need to work on fact sheets or offer some program to help the customers who want to implement it themselves and to make it run properly in their environment."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"Scalability can be a problem sometimes."
"I would like to see more regular updates released."
"We have a very close relationship with MEGA representatives in Mexico, and we ask them why they don't offer impact analysis. For example, we have a server in the center and provide the client a view of what's in the peripheral area, like one cluster, application, process area, and services. We want to offer our clients that level of visibility with HOPEX."
"The tool usability is weak and it also has a high learning curve."
