We performed a comparison between IBM Business Automation Workflow and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The business process modeling is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact it is highly configurable. We can do configurations very easily."
"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 has had a positive effect on decision-making in my organization. It helps us with our dispute process."
"The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it."
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses."
"Its interface is well-designed and user-friendly"
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is not a very user-friendly solution."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"The development UI is sometimes a little slow."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
"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 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."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
