Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."Setting it up is fairly easy. If somebody has knowledge of the system, he or she will be able to do it fairly quickly."
"The most valuable features come in the bundle, the design process, creating services, creating BPDs, creating coaches, and UI/UX."
"Automating the whole workflow process to give our data steward the ability to take actions rapidly, and making sure we have all the data synced within the different platforms that we are using."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"The reach with Integration Adapters and support for adding custom Java code are valuable features."
"We have used a lot of out-of-the-box reporting on the process performance metrics. We have been able to make suggested changes to staff for this role or streamlining by eliminate some activities where people were not requiring a lot of work in the first place."
"This tool is very useful when it comes to enterprise-grade automation and governmental processes for the security aspects, performance, and reliability."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"There are many features of the solution that are quite useful. For us, the most valuable aspect may be visibility."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"I would like to see the front-end support improved because it should be fully integrated and supported."
"If the processing gets better, it would be more efficient."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"There needs to be better documentation for IBM BPM in a central place. There is not any standard documentation for each component available and has been a barrier for developers."
"IBM BPM lacks openness, that is, the ability to become open for new options in terms of APIs, front-end development, and ecosystem. IBM BPM has been quite closed. One of the main improvements would be to somehow embed the rules engine into IBM BPM. Merging IBM BRMS and the rules engine with IBM BPM would be helpful. If there was some simpler way to define rules without having to put IBM BRMS on top of it, it would be good. It's something that we can get out of Camunda but not out of IBM BPM."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"The price and the overall installation process could be improved."
"The solution could improve its user interface."
