Pros
"It performs the basic tasks that are required for the BBM solution as part of the overall integration with ECM or enterprise contact management.""It's a flexible solution.""IBM Business Automation Workflow provides a seamless streamlined collaboration within the organizations.""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.""This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS.""It provides a solution for integration orchestration. This solution is for any organization in the banking, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and all domains and industries.""It is the only product that includes capture content management and a process suite, as well as rules in RPA.""No matter what somebody's technical experience level is, the tool can start adding value immediately. Even if that is just an analyst who doesn't have any technical background, they can use some of these no quote accelerators to get things from ideation to deployment in a matter of minutes."

"The user interface is very, very good.""The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes.""I work in HR and am fond of automation.

Cons
"The setup and installation process could be made easier.""I feel that the features are not user-friendly.""The initial setup is actually a really complicated process.""The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly.""In terms of improvement, it could be less complex.""The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics.""IBM Business Automation Workflow can improve UI flexibility and integration. Additionally, the solutions from IBM have to provide a paperless solution, allowing for digital versions of documents.""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."

More IBM Business Automation Workflow Cons →

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability.""If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""The integration between forms should be made easier."
