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

"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
"It is being able to see the process, and understanding what the process is versus having to bury it in code somewhere."
"It has improved my organization quite a bit. It brought awareness to what the business processes are, even to the business side, who did not necessarily know what they are."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"It continues to keep up with the changing needs of the business. That is the strong value proposition of BPM. It's not a one-time automation."
"The integration and design are valuable features."
"The platform's most valuable features are its process automation capabilities and its ability to provide a comprehensive view of business operations."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The setup and configuration is complex."
"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"​The initial setup was complex. It is not always easy to launch a new platform and it needed better coordination with IBM."
"Finding errors and bugs on the system is not easy. We can't seem to use the events or logs to find them, so it makes it difficult to debug the system. They really need to work on their debugging features to make is much, much easier. It would improve the solution considerably and should be something they add in a future release."
"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."
"The analysis reports could be much better."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"They don't have a mechanism to achieve processes, data sources, and data."
"Also, we would like to see integration with artificial intelligence, machine learning-type of technical capabilities. Right now, there are a lot Watson libraries out there. Building those integrations more, out-of-the-box, from IBM would be a good direction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It has a low cost to implement. You'll get your money back in the same year that you complete the project."
"We have a yearly licensing model. It is not expensive. There are no addition costs to the standard license."
"​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."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a ten."
"When considering the features of the solution the price is expensive compared to competitors."
"We chose to purchase IBM BPM because it was bundled with the actual RPA program/solution that we decided to purchase. We decided to use Automation Anywhere tool (RPA), and it is was bundled with IBM BPM."
"It is pricey."
