Facilitates development flexibility and easy customization
Flexibility of development. Developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development. Most (or all) of the components are plug and play. Customization is easily achievable most of the time As mentioned above, it is more flexible than other products available in the market. Performance. More…

Automation platforms streamline processes and offer flexibility, but AI integration and version upgrades pose challenges
In the technology world, there is always room for improvement. Technologies evolve day by day, especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence and generative AI models. Although IBM BPM is a substantial product, adopting and integrating new technologies quickly is not easy due to the migration and upgrade paths involved. Every time new versions are released, we face business and production challenges that make rapid adoption challenging. The main concern bothering me today regarding IBM BPM is the integration of AI components.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Flexibility of development; the developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development and most or all of the components are plug and play, so customization is easily achievable most of the time."
"The performance is fine."
"We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"The solution has helped us automate business processes."
"This product does the job in terms of executing the workflow."
"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."
"One of the reasons for adopting this solution ten years ago was its ease of use; it had a lot of off-the-shelf functionality, and it did not need to be developed specifically for the project that we were implementing."
"The solution is more customizable than IBM FileNet."
"It makes the company business processes work more efficiently."
 

Cons

"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"There is a lot of room for improvement of the dashboards."
"IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"I would like to see more inclusion of RPA technologies. If we have more manual processes, we can use robotic process automation and integrate that in with the solution."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"The solution didn’t play well with the Microsoft SQL Server and there was a stand-off between the two vendors blaming each other for performance issues."
"We care about technology and support because support is very important and a BPM is not easy to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"Price wise, IBM BPM is cheaper than other similar solutions and has excellent pricing."
"I give the pricing an eight out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"IBM BPM cannot be considered a cheaply priced product. IBM BPM is a really expensive product compared to other companies. One needs to opt for the perpetual licensing model offered by IBM."
"Starting out with Express can also help reduce the cost for adopting the product."
"The pricing is very high."
"The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."
