"There is a component of this BPM pool - I can't recall the name. What it does is, it allows you to create various scenarios and then run them quickly, before actually putting them onto a tool. So I think that part of the tool is really fantastic, because that enables you to create scenarios, create simulations, before actually going out and putting it into the tool itself""IBM BPM is easy to deploy.""Its most valuable features are usability and integration with other IBM products.""Compliance with the BPMN 2.0 standard.""The most valuable features come in the bundle, the design process, creating services, creating BPDs, creating coaches, and UI/UX.""With the Process Center, I can go to one place and view what all the environments are doing.""The possibility to add Java code as embedded .jar, that increases the flexibility of the solution.""Its workflow and integration with SAP are the most valuable features. It is also a stable solution."

Cons
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available.""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.""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.""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.""We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes.""Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better.""If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."

More ADONIS Cons →

"I'm hearing things might be improving, to really deliver on BPM as opposed to simply workflow. That really should be emphasized a lot more than it has been, because a lot of customers will simply implement the process and leave it there, because the product maybe doesn't emphasize BPM as much as it should, as much as maybe they talk about it in the sales process. The whole idea of BPM, is to iteratively improve the process, and in order to do that you have to have the analytics tool with it. A lot of times that doesn't go as far as it should simply because there's a lot more work to be done for that to happen, and just some sort of technical limitations that don't make that as easy as it should be.""It might not be suitable for entry level clients because it comes with a huge number of modules for processing that at times might not be necessary for upcoming clients.""Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM.""Could increase vulnerability and security patches to make it more robust.""I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact.""I'd like the tool to be more flexible.""Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet.""The initial setup was complex."

  • More ADONIS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It may be cheaper for organizations to pay for the Viewer licenses that are immediately up and running in the cloud, rather than paying for someone to administer publishing to an intranet."
  • "Starting out with Express can also help reduce the cost for adopting the product."
  • "​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."
  • "It gives us a good return on investment."
  • "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."
  • "Our customers do see ROI. They'll identify some particularly painful or uncoordinated processes to start with, then build out from there, picking off low hanging fruit."
  • "It has a low cost to implement. You'll get your money back in the same year that you complete the project."
  • "The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."

    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.”
