"The dashboards are helpful because you can display reports directly on your screen."
"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
"It provides a solution for integration orchestration. This solution is for any organization in the banking, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and all domains and industries."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it."
"It's a flexible solution."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is useful for helping us design custom user interfaces and processes we require."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity."
"It can scale well."
"It is very easy to use."
"It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is not a very user-friendly solution."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"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."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
"The development UI is sometimes a little slow."
"The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
