Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The business process modeling is the most valuable feature.""IBM Business Automation Workflow provides a seamless streamlined collaboration within the organizations.""It has integrated UI and deployment models, and it has a deep set of consultant and service provider ecosystem features.""It has had a positive effect on decision-making in my organization. It helps us with our dispute process.""IBM has spent a lot of time on the connections between the rules engine and its other product, the core BPM platform. They've really centralized the suite as one offering now.""It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it.""It helps develop applications very quickly. Once clients get used to it and familiar with the methodology, then they don't feel so locked in. It is able to add this element of agility to our clients' software development lifecycle. That is my favorite thing about it: You're not so locked in as you used to be when developing applications.""It's a flexible solution."

"Provides a valuable BPMN feature.""We found the technical support to be helpful.""Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard.""Simulation is most valuable.""This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it.""The solution is very stable.""It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards.""Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."

Cons
"The development UI is sometimes a little slow.""I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful.""The setup and installation process could be made easier.""IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration.""Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting.""Integrating the solution with existing systems can be complicated and it needs careful planning and execution.""The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly.""The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."

More IBM Business Automation Workflow Cons →

"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process.""In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet.""The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings.""The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process.""It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us.""It can be more user-friendly.""I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping.""With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."

  • "When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
  • "Licensing varies by use-case."
