Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

Developers gain flexibility to build custom controls with numerous integration options
Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases. Regarding AI-driven process optimizations, we have not implemented these features with IBM WebSphere BPMS. In recent versions, IBM has introduced some generative AI features, and we plan to migrate to the newer versions within approximately one year.

"The user logic is very easy to understand, even for people who are not engineers nor developers."

"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."

"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
"IBM WebSphere BPMS provides significant return on investments, especially in the BAW component."
"I definitely would recommend this product as a solution as I do with most of our clients."
"It has allowed the companies that I work for to expose their services outside of their own network."
"It's a good product."
 

Cons

"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"There could be more documentation."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented."
"The technical support could be better as it sometimes takes them too long to get back to us."
"Their multi-production is a little complicated, despite the fact that they now have Microdeployment."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"We have problems with the slowness and the UI and that impacts the user experience for who use it."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"We've experienced a lot of glitches on the product."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."

"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"They need more monitoring capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"The product must improve its cost."
"It is not expensive."
"I was using the free version."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
