We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and IBM BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"It is scalable."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"It helps improve your process through continual measurement."
"Integration is a big plus for me."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"The solution is stable."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"I would say that I like its GUI designer the best."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"Its stability could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"We would appreciate more user-friendly definitions of processes with a more user-friendly interface for documenting processes."
"If the processing gets better, it would be more efficient."
"The engine itself tends to accumulate a lot of data that needs to be cleaned up, and that's the kind of thing that keeps it from, in some scenarios, scaling as much as it needs to. And then, when you're building solutions, if you're not careful to keep the screens from being associated with too much data, if you're going to just do things the way that a lot of people would just assume that they can do, without having experience of having made those mistakes before, it will accumulate a lot of data, and that will cause it to perform very badly."
"Except for the Lucene the index - we had a couple of issues in the Process Portal where the Lucene index went out of sync, and we had to work at least 15 - 20 hours to have it back in sync with the database."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"I would like it more documentation during the design phase."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
