DevOps engineer at Swiss Post Solutions
Has reliable technical support and good stability
From my experience using Bosch, I would recommend it to somebody considering it. I would rate it an eight out of ten. There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software.

Automation platforms streamline processes and offer flexibility, but AI integration and version upgrades pose challenges
In the technology world, there is always room for improvement. Technologies evolve day by day, especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence and generative AI models. Although IBM BPM is a substantial product, adopting and integrating new technologies quickly is not easy due to the migration and upgrade paths involved. Every time new versions are released, we face business and production challenges that make rapid adoption challenging. The main concern bothering me today regarding IBM BPM is the integration of AI components.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We contact their customer support often. They are very good and reliable."
"IBM BPM's most valuable features are its speed in implementing and providing any changes."
"We made the transformation to agile. Altogether with BPM, it is the total package."
"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 installation was straightforward."
"I liked its robustness the most; it was a very robust platform in my experience, and it seemed like a very stable and powerful tool for handling lots of concurrent users and hammering at the system."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...The product's installation was easy."
"If you are looking for a good solution where you don't need to do multiple enhancements and there is a good troubleshooting and support team, you can definitely go ahead with this solution."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software."
"I suggest establishing a developer forum for better communication and issue resolution. Also, the administration panel could be improved for task management."
"It was complex for some of us (IT but non technical profiles)."
"It is a rather thick stack because you have to have WebSphere skills, IBM BPM skills, and an understanding of how the product runs on WebSphere. A lot of this will start to get a lot easier as they put it in containers, which will allow the platform to manage itself in some regards."
"The debugging needs improvement. There is some confusion surrounding the debugging."
"It's under performance, maybe the moving from one activity to other activity, or one process step to other process step takes awhile."
"IBM BPM lacks openness, that is, the ability to become open for new options in terms of APIs, front-end development, and ecosystem."
"IBM BPM is stable, but sometimes there are issues with the server."
"They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It gives us a good return on investment."
"Price wise, IBM BPM is cheaper than other similar solutions and has excellent pricing."
"I already compared some solutions related to business process management, and I saw that the cost of IBM BPM is more expensive compared with that of Camunda, for example."
"The solution is expensive since it is an enterprise application."
"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."
"I give the pricing an eight out of ten."
"Its price is on the higher side, and it can be improved. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There are no additional costs."
"The solution is highly-priced."
