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."
"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."
"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
"Process Modelling, simulation and optimization, integration, UI components."
"I think the best way it can be it improved, is to make it easier to install. It's a very complicated piece of software, and there are a lot of things you have to do to get it set up. It's not just running an installer. You install WebSphere. You install the BPM product, and there's a large host of other steps you have to do: run queries against the database, you have to manually configure a bunch of properties files for your environment. I think if they could streamline all that, so it wasn't a considerable effort to install, that would be very useful. Because from an engineering point of view, you want to spend as little time as possible actually installing a product."
"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."
"BPM products are there to optimize the business flows in mid to large organizations, and IBM BPM does that pretty well."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"Initially, the process architecture studio was very helpful and it was compliant with BPMN standards."
"I liked its robustness the most; it was a very robust platform in my experience, and it seemed like a very stable and powerful tool for handling lots of concurrent users and hammering at the system."
"Setting it up is fairly easy. If somebody has knowledge of the system, he or she will be able to do it fairly quickly."
 

Cons

"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The setup and configuration is complex."
"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."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"Except for the Lucene the index - we had a couple of issues in the Process Portal where the Lucene index went out of sync, and we had to work at least 15 - 20 hours to have it back in sync with the database."
"There needs to be better documentation for IBM BPM in a central place; there is not any standard documentation for each component available and it has been a barrier for developers."
"Though I am quite satisfied with the product, and especially the introduction of responsive UI, I still believe that the overall development environment must be desktop based rather web based."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"There is room for improvement in the stability."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values, which need to be revisited, as they do not sometimes function properly."
"Consider an admin console during deployment. I would like to migrate single instances, not the whole bunch at once."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is highly-priced."
"IBM BPM is expensive, so most large companies opt for IBM based on their licensing options."
"The solution is expensive since it is an enterprise application."
"The pricing is quite high, I would rate it two out of five."
"We have a yearly licensing model. It is not expensive. There are no addition costs to the standard license."
"Starting out with Express can also help reduce the cost for adopting the product."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a ten."
"Due to its extensive features and capabilities, the product pricing is more aligned with medium—to large enterprises."
