Good reporting, a very good dashboard, and easy to set up
We primarily use the solution for processes like preparing worksheets. It's essential to the human resource process like expenses and allowances The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good. The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit 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

"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
"I find the flexibility most valuable, and being able to connect and integrate with various systems, as well as being solution oriented, is valuable to me as well."
"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution to others."
"The customer service is outstanding."
"Its Analytics is the most valuable feature."
"There are two or three valuable features, like BPM."
"It has reduced the amount of code that we write in a process to achieve the required functionality."
"The most valuable feature for the organization is the Document Store."
"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"So far, it works well and we are satisfied with the product."
 

Cons

"The areas that would benefit in improvement would be the training information, the white papers and useful tutorials as to how to build these typical solutions."
"The setup and configuration is complex."
"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"If you want to use IBM BPM, you will have to invest a lot of money for licenses and you need to learn that there are limitations in developing applications. You cannot create anything you want."
"I would like it more documentation during the design phase."
"The front end is not customised for a good user experience."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"IBM BPM uses JavaScript as a programming language for the server-side. I don’t know why it’s not Java, as it’s more powerful and the JavaScript part is translated into Java anyway."
"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 have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"IBM could improve the price. It is far too expensive."
"​We have definitely seen ROI. When we first kicked it off, we said it had to pay for itself within three years, and it did."
"It should provide more flexibility to connect with external systems, and there should be in-built services that can be used to integrate with other systems quickly."
"The pricing is quite high, I would rate it two out of five."
"The product is expensive considering the hardware and software costs."
"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."
"Our customers do see ROI. They'll identify some particularly painful or uncoordinated processes to start with, then build out from there, picking off low hanging fruit."
"Its price is on the higher side, and it can be improved. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There are no additional costs."
