Software Engineer at Wipro Technologies
Developers gain flexibility to build custom controls with numerous integration options
Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases. Regarding AI-driven process optimizations, we have not implemented these features with IBM WebSphere BPMS. In recent versions, IBM has introduced some generative AI features, and we plan to migrate to the newer versions within approximately one year.

The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"It’s saved 100’s of man hours monthly."
"It has made the implementation of our IT software policies faster."
"We have reduced the amount of time it would take to resolve an incident or to send an escalation to a customer, and it has saved us many man hours."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."
"The ability to basically create any type of flow I want to, go and get the root cause, and to control workflow without people having to know everything that needs to be done."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."
"The user interface could be improved, because you can say it is not the best on the market."
"We've experienced a lot of glitches on the product."
"They need more monitoring capability."
"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"We have used technical support and we've had our ups and downs with them."
"It takes a lot of resources to implement and support it, which is expensive."
"There are automation tools out there that are more unified -- network, database, servers. Operations Orchestration doesn't do everything and you need to buy other components for other tasks."
"From 1 – 10 – I think HP is about a 4. Support can be slow and frustrating."
"Customer Service: Below average, 2/10. A lot is needed to be improved upon in their customer service."
"Customer service is one of those areas that definitely needs to be improved. 3.5 out of 10 Technical Support: Needs improvement."
"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."
"In order for our customers to have a deeper integration of Operations Orchestration, it needs to be offered with more cloud options, whether that's public or private or hybrid."
