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.
IsmailEl Dahshan - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Exact Holding NV
Automation has transformed financial workflows and has improved revenue tracking and compliance
Regarding Watsonx, I am uncertain whether it is fully complied and fully integrated with IBM Business Automation Workflow yet. Currently, we use some AI in Enterprise Content Management, particularly when searching documents. Archiving snapshots would be very beneficial. It would be good to reduce the administration effort required to archive snapshots, as this is a main issue with the product. I would also recommend that IBM engage with customers more deeply. Rather than sending URLs or documentation for customers to solve problems independently, the support team should be more involved in addressing the client's specific issues in a targeted manner, providing clear guidance on what actions need to be taken.

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."
"The product is suitable for knowledge management processes."
"Productivity improvements are notable because processes have been orchestrated and streamlined with IBM Business Automation Workflow."
"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
"It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it."
"No matter what somebody's technical experience level is, the tool can start adding value immediately."
"Automation will help them to improve their efficiency for any case resolution and improve the customer experience."
"The most important aspect is that it helped us focus on the business process perspective."
"This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS."
 

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."
"If the issue needs escalation to level two or level three, it can take time on a case-by-case basis."
"The setup and installation process could be made easier."
"There are several areas where improvements could be made including with engagement of OCR capabilities. We currently need to write a lot of customization code and I think if that could be reduced it would improve performance."
"The development UI is sometimes a little slow."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is used for the financial sector like the loan management process cycle. It is not worth to use for simple process."
"However, on Windows, I believe considerable administration tasks are required to maintain environment stability."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Nowadays, clients are looking at pricing as one of the major factors. For IBM products, they always think it is expensive for them. We are still educating our clients on the IBM FlexPoints licensing."
"The solution has saved us time."
"When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
"While it can be quite costly, it offers significant benefits for users."
"The product is expensive."
"Licensing varies by use-case."
"There is still a relatively high total cost of ownership to actually implement, support, and stand up solutions."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow has a flexible pricing mode, but the price is expensive. The price of the solution reflects the quality of the solution which is very high. The technical support is an additional cost."
