Ateeq Rehman - PeerSpot reviewer
Unit Head System Implementor at Allied Bank Limited
Has supported automation efforts while limited use suggests need for wider implementation
We use an on-premises solution, and being a financial institution regulated by a governance body, most of our solutions are on-premises. Most scenarios involve use cases where human intervention is needed, and we take these use cases from human resources to automated processes. I do not use the process mapping feature in IBM Blueworks Live much since my involvement is to grasp the requirement. I generally use it on a high level. At the moment, IBM Blueworks Live is for preliminary documents only. I have not used the analytics feature in IBM Blueworks Live because I have not had the opportunity to explore it, as my usage is at a preliminary or basic level. I am satisfied with document and process automation overall, and it is a very good tool. I do not see many areas for improvement for IBM Blueworks Live because I do not see it in detail since it is a cloud-based solution. I am satisfied with integration in IBM Blueworks Live since it is primarily a different architecture, and the cloud approach is definitely far different from on-premises mechanisms, so there is generally no connectivity and no collaboration. The procurement for IBM Blueworks Live is not handled by me, so I did not buy it directly from IBM or through a marketplace. I believe IBM Blueworks Live might be on a hybrid cloud, but since I have not utilized it that way, I cannot comment. I rate the overall solution as a seven out of ten.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Flexibility of development; the developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development and most or all of the components are plug and play, so customization is easily achievable most of the time."
"The solution is easy to operate. Also, there is an automatic mode to make the business flow. You don't have to put any lines or arrows in a decision point in IBM Blueworks Live; it's very automatic."
"The solution is stable. All the refreshes run very well."
"Currently, there is no other tool that is more cost-effective on the market."
"IBM Blueworks Live is cloud-based and provides easy access to all your processes in one place."
"This solution is good at utilizing standards rules for connectivity."
"Collaboration is most valuable. You can collaborate online with many people. People can comment, and you can comment back. It is just like a social network, and that, for me, is very good."
"The mega process maps are very easy to use."
"The reporting that we can generate from IBM Blueworks Live has been interesting. We found the KPIs, risks, process modeling, format, and colors, to be very good. We use the EY template and it is interesting to generate reporting in this format."
 

Cons

"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
"In the Blue Works Live software boxes and lines are automatically placed by the programme and can't be easily manipulated."
"The initial setup is neither straightforward nor complex however you do need to know what you are doing."
"I would prefer an on-premises solution for IBM Blueworks Live, and this could be a recommendation."
"IBM Blueworks Live sometimes has a period of repairing and during this time the solution is not available for some hours."
"The objects that the solution creates are not unique."
"I would like to see integration with ERP systems. This would help us to simulate the process and see where the problems are. Though IBM Blueworks Live is a good tool for documenting, it is not good for simulating."
"Since you require a license per user to access the information it would be nice to have the ability to print the information out in large font for review."
"It is BPMN-compliant but the tool needs to be more involved to get into a completely 2.0 oriented tool. It has a few things but it's not the complete BPMN model."
