Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""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.""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 performs the basic tasks that are required for the BBM solution as part of the overall integration with ECM or enterprise contact management.""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 product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."

"The main factor that separates Red Hat software from Oracle, IBM, Pegasystems, is the ability that it gives you to design the screens outside the software and connect it as another component with the BPM engine."

Cons
"The initial setup is actually a really complicated process.""The development UI is sometimes a little slow.""The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics.""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.""In terms of improvement, it could be less complex.""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 setup and installation process could be made easier.""Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."

"I think the documentation for the tool, the official documentation, is not as strong as in other tools. You have lot of community. That is good. But sometimes you need - when you are working on a big client or a critical process - to be certain about certain things. So I think that the documentation for the tool, from the company, could be a little stronger."

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."
  • "Nowadays, clients are looking at pricing as one of the major factors. For IBM products, they always think it is expensive for them. We are still educating our clients on the IBM FlexPoints licensing."
  • "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."
  • "Our license is on a three-year term."
  • "It is on the expensive side, but it provides excellent supportability and an ecosystem that is proven to be a great fit for our organization."
  • More IBM Business Automation Workflow Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Without any discount, you need tools that cost roughly between $80,000 to $100,000. That is less than with IBM. And on top of that you need the consulting. That will be another $200,000. So a quarter to a third of a million dollars is needed to use get started with BPM. So I usually recommend to my clients that they begin with a little project, with the community version. That way they don't spend $200,000 or $300,000, they spend $150,000 and zero on software."
