Facilitates development flexibility and easy customization
Flexibility of development. Developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development. Most (or all) of the components are plug and play. Customization is easily achievable most of the time As mentioned above, it is more flexible than other products available in the market. Performance. More…

Automation has transformed financial workflows and has improved revenue tracking and compliance
Regarding Watsonx, I am uncertain whether it is fully complied and fully integrated with IBM Business Automation Workflow yet. Currently, we use some AI in Enterprise Content Management, particularly when searching documents. Archiving snapshots would be very beneficial. It would be good to reduce the administration effort required to archive snapshots, as this is a main issue with the product. I would also recommend that IBM engage with customers more deeply. Rather than sending URLs or documentation for customers to solve problems independently, the support team should be more involved in addressing the client's specific issues in a targeted manner, providing clear guidance on what actions need to be taken.

Quotes from Members

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."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is a good tool provided you can use it cross-platform where there are a lot of features."
"IBM has spent a lot of time on the connections between the rules engine and its other product, the core BPM platform. They've really centralized the suite as one offering now."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is stable because the different infrastructure elements, such as the OS and middleware have been used for a long time."
"Productivity improvements are notable because processes have been orchestrated and streamlined with IBM Business Automation Workflow."
"This is a stable solution that we have been able to use as a distributed system."
"It streamlines who is doing what, at what time, has increased productivity, and employees spend less time worrying about whether or not they need to work on something or checking the status of an ongoing process, so generally it has saved time and improved business processes."
"It performs the basic tasks that are required for the BBM solution as part of the overall integration with ECM or enterprise contact management."
"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
 

Cons

"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is used for the financial sector like the loan management process cycle. It is not worth to use for simple process."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"Sometimes, you need an integrated solution. Customers don't want to have to say, "Oh, I'm acquiring this product, now I have to go build up that product. I have to go and build something else in another product and integrate.""
"There are several areas where improvements could be made including with engagement of OCR capabilities. We currently need to write a lot of customization code and I think if that could be reduced it would improve performance."
"While everything is integrated into one platform, I'd like guidelines on when and how to use ODM. This applies not only to implementation but also to automation processes. Additionally, proper instructions should be provided when installing on the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is expensive."
"Nowadays, clients are looking at pricing as one of the major factors. For IBM products, they always think it is expensive for them. We are still educating our clients on the IBM FlexPoints licensing."
"While it can be quite costly, it offers significant benefits for users."
"It is on the expensive side, but it provides excellent supportability and an ecosystem that is proven to be a great fit for our organization."
"When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
"The solution has saved us time."
"Our license is on a three-year term."
"There is still a relatively high total cost of ownership to actually implement, support, and stand up solutions."
