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.

Increases productivity with automation and robust orchestration capabilities
The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. 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:
 

Pros

"It's a good product."
"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"It has allowed the companies that I work for to expose their services outside of their own network."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great, and the speed of delivery is good, with everything delivered quickly and seamlessly in order to bring things to the market in an efficient manner."
"I definitely would recommend this product as a solution as I do with most of our clients."
"Four years ago, we created a new department for automation, and today the organization has a lot of trust in us and we are placed in each strategic architecture, everybody knows us, trusts us, and is happy to work with us, and we are problem solvers and the innovation robo team."
"The centralization of the administration is what's most valuable for us."
"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 automation, hands down, is the future of our company and the direction we're going in, letting us deploy servers in 15 minutes instead of two weeks and even embed monitoring into that same automated service for a huge benefit."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"Time savings with automation. We've gone from weeks to deploy systems to minutes."
"This solution basically does everything that we need it to do."
"This tool addresses all our disparate capabilities, bringing all those systems together, so we have been able to orchestrate per product and tie those things together to automate processes that were manual in the past, allowing us to turn around systems a lot quicker and in a repeatable way."
 

Cons

"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 problems with the slowness and the UI and that impacts the user experience for who use it."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"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."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"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."
"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."
"It's not a perfect solution, such as with the customization prompts."
"From 1 – 10 – I think HP is about a 4. Support can be slow and frustrating."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."
"But what I would like are more functionalities around code release."
"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."
