Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."The performance is fine."
"One thing that I love about them is that they make it easier to integrate with other systems, especially with the use of smaller files."
"Initially, the process architecture studio was very helpful and it was compliant with BPMN standards."
"There is a component of this BPM pool - I can't recall the name. What it does is, it allows you to create various scenarios and then run them quickly, before actually putting them onto a tool. So I think that part of the tool is really fantastic, because that enables you to create scenarios, create simulations, before actually going out and putting it into the tool itself"
"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"The most valuable features are the integration capabilities - BPM can connect with almost any legacy or advanced system."
"Its workflow and integration with SAP are the most valuable features. It is also a stable solution."
"Integration is a big plus for me."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
"I would like IBM to consider including AI-enabled process mining, robotic process automation, and very good OCR capabilities from the computer vision side."
"Also, we would like to see integration with artificial intelligence, machine learning-type of technical capabilities. Right now, there are a lot Watson libraries out there. Building those integrations more, out-of-the-box, from IBM would be a good direction."
"We had hoped that the product would provide us with plug-ins like Salesforce. Its development environment needs to improve. We expect to see elastic features like containerization. We don't just need an on-prem virtual machine."
"The business would like to use the product with a lot less IT and equipment involvement."
"UI is an area with a shortcoming that needs improvement."
"IBM BPM integrated with Spark UI and the UI is now much better, but they still need to improve the UI because competitors have predefined templates and other additional features. In these competitor's solutions, you are able to use the templates, map your data, and the form is ready to use. With this solution, you need to write a lot of code to have the same quality as the competitor's templates. It would be a benefit to make this platform more towards low-code or no-code."
"We need process monitoring. It is somewhat complex to monitor all the processes which work."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
