Pros
"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.

That is my favorite thing about it: You're not so locked in as you used to be when developing applications.""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.""The business process modeling is the most valuable feature.""The dashboards are helpful because you can display reports directly on your screen.""The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it.""This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process.""One of the most valuable features is the way that they are adapting to the market.
