DevOps engineer at Swiss Post Solutions
Has reliable technical support and good stability
From my experience using Bosch, I would recommend it to somebody considering it. I would rate it an eight out of ten. There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software.

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

"We contact their customer support often. They are very good and reliable."
"It is being able to see the process, and understanding what the process is versus having to bury it in code somewhere."
"If you are looking for a product which should be capable of handling SOA principles, third-party integration, and effective user management, I highly recommend this product for you."
"Our teams are liking BPM better because it's faster to set up and they have showcased two or three projects where they were able to do them in a three-month cycle, where it really should take them seven or eight months, and it would take more in Pega."
"We started four years ago with one or two process apps, but now we've got close to 40, so that's a lot of incremental development in the last three years."
"This product was able to decrease the amount of relations between distributed systems and isolate systems, letting them retrieve and send information having only access to ESB."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"The product causes all the processes in the company to be centralized."
"The initial setup process is easy."
 

Cons

"There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software."
"I suggest establishing a developer forum for better communication and issue resolution. Also, the administration panel could be improved for task management."
"It is a rather thick stack because you have to have WebSphere skills, IBM BPM skills, and an understanding of how the product runs on WebSphere. A lot of this will start to get a lot easier as they put it in containers, which will allow the platform to manage itself in some regards."
"Stability wavers. We have some opportunities for improvement in this space, especially as we approach our target volume of a million transactions a day. It is tough, because it is not necessarily the product. It is more around the platform and infrastructure to support it, so the connectivity to the database, web sessions, and reverse proxies in front of that."
"The business side says it needs more visibility into the process."
"The initial setup process is complex for basic users."
"Initial setup is very complex. Too many steps need to be done at the database and server levels, and complex configurations. From what I see, a lot of these steps can be and should be automated."
"There are negative aspects, such as IBM BPM being quite heavy and not lightweight, and the licensing cost is higher, which has caused some companies to shift away."
"Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I give the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"I already compared some solutions related to business process management, and I saw that the cost of IBM BPM is more expensive compared with that of Camunda, for example."
"The price of the solution is fair for an enterprise solution that has both cloud and on-premise deployments and when comparing to competitors. Recently IBM has introduced Cloud Pak which allows for more flexible licensing options for automation and other features."
"The solution is expensive since it is an enterprise application."
"Due to its extensive features and capabilities, the product pricing is more aligned with medium—to large enterprises."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"Starting out with Express can also help reduce the cost for adopting the product."
