Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."We use the solution to develop and deliver products."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The system integration layer is valuable because this enables an organization to create a single point where all the key organizational master data is held in different IT applications across different functions, that can be accessed and updated."
"Everything is coupled together and comes as one solution."
"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"It continues to keep up with the changing needs of the business. That is the strong value proposition of BPM. It's not a one-time automation."
"I think the best way it can be it improved, is to make it easier to install. It's a very complicated piece of software, and there are a lot of things you have to do to get it set up. It's not just running an installer. You install WebSphere. You install the BPM product, and there's a large host of other steps you have to do: run queries against the database, you have to manually configure a bunch of properties files for your environment. I think if they could streamline all that, so it wasn't a considerable effort to install, that would be very useful. Because from an engineering point of view, you want to spend as little time as possible actually installing a product."
"The reach with Integration Adapters and support for adding custom Java code are valuable features."
"My primary use case for this solution is to display the process in a graphical representation."
"The coaches and the user interface are the areas that can be improved a lot. It is good in terms of data processing, but the UI, scripting, and coaches are not very user-friendly and developer-friendly. Performance is always an issue. The scripting and the pattern that it uses are very tedious for new developers to understand, and it takes time to master it in depth. When comparing IBM BPM with IBM APN, a lot of things are provided out of the box in IBM APN. We don't have to write code or a Java connector to make a functionality work. It would be very helpful and time-saving for developers if IBM BPM is improved in this area to provide many functionalities or drag-and-drop options so that the developers don't have to write the code."
"The configuration is not that easy, and the initial deployment took three months."
"If the processing gets better, it would be more efficient."
"The constant switch between Eclipse and its web versions can be annoying and confusing."
"IBM BPM is stable, but sometimes there are issues with the server."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"I would like IBM to consider including AI-enabled process mining, robotic process automation, and very good OCR capabilities from the computer vision side."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"The odata can be improved. It represents to users flexible process that can manage and monitor their own business process."
