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."The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The solution offers high performance."
"There are a lot of things that you get out-of-the-box: Timers and so on, which took a lot of effort and code before."
"One thing that I love about them is that they make it easier to integrate with other systems, especially with the use of smaller files."
"The designer feature, compared to other solutions is easy to use."
"It has improved my organization quite a bit. It brought awareness to what the business processes are, even to the business side, who did not necessarily know what they are."
"We like that it does not require a lot of hours to train our people."
"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."
"It is a stale solution."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The stability varies because it involves a lot of other components like databases, so sometimes if something goes wrong there, it can't recover from the fatal errors."
"I would say the scalability is very good but it's not perfect. It is much more scalable than it has been in the past but... it does require some work to keep it stable. So that is an area that should be improved."
"There needs to be better documentation for IBM BPM in a central place. There is not any standard documentation for each component available and has been a barrier for developers."
"Also, we would like to see integration with artificial intelligence, machine learning-type of technical capabilities. Right now, there are a lot Watson libraries out there. Building those integrations more, out-of-the-box, from IBM would be a good direction."
"We would like better performance and more visibility on each step of the tool."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"We are a government organization, and we are the largest government power sector in India. We generate around 30% of power in India. Therefore, our processes are quite complex. Although IBM BPM is a low-code or no-code software, if you want to have extremely complex workflows, just the business process diagrams are not helpful in creating those workflows. While implementing complex workflows, only the process flow diagrams did not help us. We had to write a lot of Java scripts and Java queries to achieve what we wanted. Its integration capabilities with the SAP environment have to be improved. At present, we are only talking at the web services environment level. Its price also needs to be improved. It is currently expensive. Previously, Active Directory required a heterogeneous environment, but now they want a homogeneous environment. We had onboarded employees through Microsoft Active Directory, and now I have to implement Microsoft AD only from the cloud for my vendors."
"Finding errors and bugs on the system is not easy. We can't seem to use the events or logs to find them, so it makes it difficult to debug the system. They really need to work on their debugging features to make is much, much easier. It would improve the solution considerably and should be something they add in a future release."
