"The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us."
"With the Process Center, I can go to one place and view what all the environments are doing."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"IBM BPM and Automation Anywhere working together automate manual tasks with a reduction in FTEs, creating about a 30% reduction in FTEs by automating processes."
"One of the most notable things is how you can develop use cases with the customers, internal customers, but directly within. The software process model that BPM supports is really exciting in that aspect."
"It helps maintain, and in many instances, lower costs, as well as to maintain those costs, keeping them stable."
"Compliance with the BPMN 2.0 standard."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the central console, that allows you to see all of the activated and deactivated computers."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"There is room for improvement in the stability."
"The coaches and the user interface are the areas that can be improved a lot. It is good in terms of data processing, but the UI, scripting, and coaches are not very user-friendly and developer-friendly. Performance is always an issue. The scripting and the pattern that it uses are very tedious for new developers to understand, and it takes time to master it in depth. When comparing IBM BPM with IBM APN, a lot of things are provided out of the box in IBM APN. We don't have to write code or a Java connector to make a functionality work. It would be very helpful and time-saving for developers if IBM BPM is improved in this area to provide many functionalities or drag-and-drop options so that the developers don't have to write the code."
"We have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"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."
"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."
"The business would like to use the product with a lot less IT and equipment involvement."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
