The solution's initial setup is not too difficult but not as easy as some other products.

The initial setup is difficult and complex. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a five out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The deployment takes weeks.

The initial setup and implementation may require a significant investment of time and resources depending on the complexity of the workload.

The deployment is somewhere in the middle. Not extremely difficult to implement, but of course, we need a lot of integrations. The product itself is not very difficult to implement.

I give the initial setup a six out of ten.

The deployment process was relatively fast, but of course, we had to implement and develop all the software, which was very long. This was actually the process that had nothing to do with the product in terms of its speed. We analyzed the business process, then we migrated it to this platform for its digitalization. We spent years on this, but this is not the full implementation of the product. The full implementation of the product was a matter of several months. There were several staff involved in the deployment of the solution.

The initial setup of IBM Business Automation Workflow is not simple. It's quite complicated, but it's acceptable because if you want a solution to adapt to an enterprise on demand, it must be complicated. The full deployment takes approximately six months to one year to complete.

The initial setup is actually a really complicated process. We did the proper enterprise access to the server. Then we have the front desk, principal, policies, standard regulations, practice assessments, and the architecture, then with the business IT, the whole concept is complex.

Over the years, the setup has become straightforward. Back in the day, it was complex. With the move to containerization, it will become a lot more straightforward. You're just going to be spinning up containers.

The installation of IBM Business Automation Workflow is easy and straightforward. Anyone would be able to do it. If the person does not have any knowledge it could take them 45 minutes to complete. However, if have some knowledge of the basics you can do the implementation in approximately fifteen minutes.

The straightforwardness of the initial setup was the one of the reasons that we ended up purchasing IBM BPM.

We are still working on the initial setup. we are in the first stage which is deploying our most important silos (twenty to twenty one of the four hundred total). The whole process will take us about eight months for all four hundred. We have support engineers that are available on-site 24/7 for the first stage, from there, everything will be managed remotely. 

There are between eight and ten engineers working on this product for the development, four to sic system administrators/database engineers, plus roughly twenty team members for QC/QA.

We found the initial setup to be very straightforward.

The first deployment took about three to four weeks.

The initial setup was complex. The product isn't containerized, and the complexity of provisioning the proper footprint for what you need is difficult to judge ahead of time, until you get into the weeds of setting it up.

The setup is a little bit complex. It is not a lightweight solution.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The implementation is very straightforward. It is very clear what each artifact type does and how they're supposed to work. It is very low code, and that low code element is continually getting better with every release. It has a lot of configuration options and is very intuitive, even to business users. 

However, once you have to get in the weeds and start scripting, it is still straightforward if you're a coder. But, if you're not, then there is a bit of a learning curve there.

It is not easy to deploy. You need a specialist's knowledge first which adds half a day to the deployment.
