IBM BPM Reviews

We use the solution for business management.

The solution can be deployed both on-prem and cloud.

The solution is a module and we can interface with consent and document management which is important.

The designer feature, compared to other solutions is easy to use.

The solution is an out-of-the-box solution.

The cost of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for 15 years.

I give the stability an eight out of ten. The solution works especially well with Linux.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup depends on if the solution is deployed on the cloud or on-prem. The cloud version is easy because we just have to deploy the containers. The on-prem setup requires a lot of work before we can even begin because we need to masterpiece all the layers from the operations system to the database, and the middleware at the front and back end. I give the initial setup an eight out of ten. The deployment takes a full business day.

An experienced person can do the complete deployment on their own however we usually use three people, one for the beginning, middle, and end.

I give the pricing an eight out of ten. The solution is a bit expensive.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

IBM BPM is a good solution but we should always look at our business requirements. The solution is intended for medium and large businesses, so it is not recommended for small businesses.

Our primary use case is moving documents electronically from desk to desk.

The most valuable features come in the bundle, the design process, creating services, creating BPDs, creating coaches, and UI/UX.

I would like to see the user-friendliness improved and the training become free of cost for the solution. I would like to see the front-end support improved because it should be fully integrated and supported.

I have been using IBM BPM for the past three years.

The current system is definitely stable and the database compatibility is very reliable. 

There are over three thousand five hundred users currently implementing IBM BPM and therefore the scalability is excellent.

Technical support is always good.

Positive

The initial setup is definitely complex compared to other market comparatives.

The price is good but could be a little lower.

I would rate IBM BPM an eight on a scale of one to ten.

We have taken the BPM route in BAW.

I don't know whether we started using all the features or not. There are many.

So far, it works well and we are satisfied with the product. 

It's got a good look and feel as compared to whether it is in a Case Manager or Case Foundation, which was there earlier.

It's simple to set up.

The solution is stable.

Technical support is good.

I can only speak from an end-user perspective. I don't know, from the development perspective, what would be improved. From a general improvement perspective, it's probably a little too early to judge as the implementation is still going on.

The pricing is a little bit high. It's gone up in cost.

The response time needs to be better. Every time when you click a link or a button or something, the response could be faster - although, I know it also depends on the network connectivity. However, I've noticed even when we are working on the office network with very good network connectivity, we still feel, a slowness. It could have responded much better or faster.

We've been using the solution for seven months. 

The stability has been good. We haven't dealt with bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We are in the implementation phase. We have done the basic things which are in place and now we are doing the enhancements. As we are doing the enhancements now, there might be various feasibility checks and so on. Then we would come to know whether the product is feasible to take care of our requirements. Only then, I would be able to comment on scalability.

From IBM, we get good support. There are no issues with that. We are satisfied with the level of support we get. 

We used to use IBM's Case Foundation before. From there, we have now moved to the BPM route.

The initial setup was pretty easy. There were not any complications involved in that.

We found the product to be on the higher side. We recently purchased it last year, and, when you purchase the whole product, about ten years back, that was a very reasonable amount. However, now, this time, we see that the amount could have been better - although we still went ahead and bought it. That said, it could have been better.

We pay for the solution annually.

We're a user and a customer. 

We're using something around version 20. I'm not sure of the exact version number.

From a system perspective, once we have something and we keep doing hundreds of enhancements on it, that's where sometimes the user experience might go for a hit in terms of ease. That said, if you are a new user and you have the requirements correctly captured, then starting might be easier. Yes. The tool will start functioning from day one, onwards, in a much better way. 

I'd rate it at a nine out of ten.

IBM BPM is used for integrations. We are an enterprise application integration team. We integrate most of the companies' integrations and business process modeling.

Our organization has improved by using IBM BPM because our development time has reduced and connectivity improved.

We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM.

In a future release, the solution should add more APIs. That's why we moved to  Mule. It should not be a drastic change. What we found out is in the new release, of IBM, it has completely changed. I would like my old features to run on the new server so that I don't have to migrate some of the APIs.

I have been using IBM BPM for approximately 15 years.

IBM BPM is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable.

I have used the support from IBM BPM.

I rate the support from IBM BPM a three out of five.

I have used Mule previously.

The initial setup of IBM BPM is complex. 

In the initial stages, we have used consultants for the implementation, but as we have had some experience we are using them less.

Stability is one of the most important features of this solution.

I rate IBM BPM a seven out of ten.

The workflow design is the solution's most effective feature.

I suggest establishing a developer forum for better communication and issue resolution. Also, the administration panel could be improved for task management.

I have been working with IBM BPM for the last five years.

I rate the platform's stability a seven. 

We have around 200 IBM users in our organization. I rate the platform's scalability an eight. 

The initial setup process is easy. Although it took time to establish, we have automated many processes.

Following the SDLC can prolong the timeline, but utilizing a DevOps environment can speed up the deployment.

We design independent workflows using Business Process Diagrams (BPD). We identify different roles and entities in various departments and create dummy workflows to visualize these entities and processes.

A dedicated enterprise integration department uses IBM SOA services. We design various services for enterprise applications, including integration with content management systems like IBM FileNet.

Overall, I rate IBM BPM a nine out of ten. 

The use cases include security and network processing for internal purposes.

It streamlines processes, benefits other projects, and integrates with other solutions.

I appreciate its high user capacity and standard compliance. It's also helpful for multi-project deployments, design assessments, and general deployment processes.

Integration is a big plus for me.

There is room for improvement in the stability. 

I have been using it for ten years. I work with the latest version. 

Overall, I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. We have below 100 end users in our company. 

The customer service and support are good. They are responsive. 

The configuration and installation are easy. The deployment took around one to two days. 

The deployment began with an assessment, followed by requirement confirmation and sign-off by various stakeholders. We deployed it on the cloud and managed the process internally.

We only needed two people for the deployment. 

We have a yearly licensing model. It is not expensive. There are no addition costs to the standard license. 

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. I would recommend using this solution. 

It is easy to use, good price, is easy for developers, easy to install and configure.

It's mainly focused on the banking use case, specifically the retail banking business.

I find the process design and UI design to be the most valuable features. Because they are common in working with the product.

The options for customization could be improved. More customization using your own code would be beneficial.

I have been working with this solution for 12 years. 

It is a stale solution. I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. 

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It suits our use cases well, so it's adequate.

We have around a thousand end users using this solution. 

The response time is a bit slow. The quality of customer service and support is good on average, but there's room for improvement.

Neutral

It's a simple setup.

We deployed it ourselves. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. There is some room for improvement. 

I would recommend it. It's easy to use and implement.

The most valuable feature of IBM BPM is the low code design, and ease of maintenance. Additionally, the integration is good and easy to do.

IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build.

I have been using IBM BPM for approximately five years.

IBM BPM is a stable solution.

The scalability of IBM BPM is good. It's easy to add features and applications to the platform.

I have approximately 10 customers, with each having an average of approximately 300 users.

The support for IBM BPM is good.

I have not used other solutions in this category.

The initial setup of IBM BPM is easy to do. The implementation time depends on the business that the solution is being put into. It typically takes six months to one year to complete the process. For a deployment that is easy, the process could take only a few hours.

We have two to three administrators that support IBM BPM.

My advice to others is this is a good solution and they can find a lot of advantages. I recommend this solution to many users.

I rate IBM BPM an eight out of ten.
