Pros
"It's a very complete solution.""It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop""We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem.""The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost.""The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories.""It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered.""It is a stable solution."

More ADONIS Pros →

"The solution is good for data models.""The flexibility is great.""It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it.""The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance.""It is simple to use. The user experience is very good.""The most valuable feature is the scheduling.""The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application.""The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

More Camunda Pros →

"Setting it up is fairly easy. If somebody has knowledge of the system, he or she will be able to do it fairly quickly.""The integration and design are valuable features.""We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running.""It provides value and simplifies processes.""Provides the power to understand and automate processes.""We are receiving good assistance from the technical support.""We made the transformation to agile.

Cons
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS.""Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better.""The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian.""This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available.""When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly.""There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear.""We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."

More ADONIS Cons →

"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved.""In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity.""When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly.""In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly.""The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages.""I would also like a very easy to use form builder.""I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas.""Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."

More Camunda Cons →

"There is a lot of room for improvement of the dashboards.""The configuration is not that easy, and the initial deployment took three months.""If you want to use IBM BPM, you will have to invest a lot of money for licenses and you need to learn that there are limitations in developing applications. You cannot create anything you want.""They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations.""New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve.""Initial setup is very complex. Too many steps need to be done at the database and server levels, and complex configurations. From what I see, a lot of these steps can be and should be automated.""We care about technology and support because support is very important and a BPM is not easy to implement.""We still have a couple of issues that we are working on right now with stability. Mostly on the configuration side of the tool, and it has been about a month that we have been working to stabilize the platform.​"

    IBM BPM Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing IBM BPM. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • More scalable processes: The solution enables better process execution and workflow automation, which transfers well when scaling processes.
    • Greater transparency: Because IBM BPM’s process automation clearly defines owners for tasks along the process, it provides more transparency and accountability throughout a given process. In turn, this fosters more communication among teams.

    Reviews from Real Users

    IBM BPM is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it’s good for developing complex apps, is robust, and has helpful team management and process performance features.

    Zoran C., Owner/CEO at IT SPHERE, says, “It is perfect if you have to develop complex apps without much coding (only java script). It is also good if you don't have much IT resources in your company and would like to involve business analysts in the process of developing apps. My opinion is that it can do about 50% of all developers' work.”

    Suhas V., BPM Architect at GBM, mentions, “Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."

    A BPM Consultant at a financial services firm comments, "Some of the features that I like the most are team management and process performance. They are both very useful and very powerful with regard to the workflow."

    A Digital Banking & Innovation Director at a financial services firm expresses, “The processing functionality makes it easy to change processes and workflows easily.”
