"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet.""There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it.""Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."

Cons
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly.""I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list.""The setup and installation process could be made easier.""The SCADA Systems are very sophisticated and have a hard time integrating with our older scales. The technical support in regards to the partner side needs some improvement.""The initial setup is actually a really complicated process.""Every client is moving to the cloud. We are still a little behind with IBM, but we are catching up from my point of view.""The UI of the solution is not good. They should work to update the solution and make it better and fresher.""From what I understand, in the next release they're actually going to combine all of this together as one integrated solution... If we could have one unified way to build a solution, that would really help."

"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities.""We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution has saved us time."
  • "There is still a relatively high total cost of ownership to actually implement, support, and stand up solutions."

  • "When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
  • "Licensing varies by use-case."
  • "IBM Business Automation Workflow has a flexible pricing mode, but the price is expensive. The price of the solution reflects the quality of the solution which is very high. The technical support is an additional cost."
