Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."The product is stable. This is the reason that we are using Automic, in some cases, because of its stability and features."
"Jobs are planned automatically to eliminate the need to plan them manually. It also saves us effort because there is no need to create job objects manually."
"If I have a higher workload with smaller machines, it is easy to increase everything."
"It provides a simple reduction of headcount and also a reduction of run through time."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"We use the solution to develop and deliver products."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to customize your rules and put them inside the tool."
"We made the transformation to agile. Altogether with BPM, it is the total package."
"This product does the job in terms of executing the workflow."
"Previously, our company's business automation process was slow. IBM BPM's schedule and response functionalities are excellent...There are countless use cases in which IBM BPM proves to be a valuable tool for my clients."
"The functionality to design UI to be responsive and can run on multiple devices."
"It continues to keep up with the changing needs of the business. That is the strong value proposition of BPM. It's not a one-time automation."
"What I am missing today is robotics. If Automic would like to stay as one of the biggest automation engines on the market, they have to find an option with a robotics solution."
"In the last two years or so, Automic has not invested as much in the product as we would have expected."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"The interface is limited and should improve in the future."
"We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM."
"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 has been quite closed. One of the main improvements would be to somehow embed the rules engine into IBM BPM. Merging IBM BRMS and the rules engine with IBM BPM would be helpful. If there was some simpler way to define rules without having to put IBM BRMS on top of it, it would be good. It's something that we can get out of Camunda but not out of IBM BPM."
"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."
"We had a weird problem that whenever the database would go down, even for a few seconds, it broke the connection. It would not come back up as it was supposed to. However, working with IBM, we were able to figure out a fix, then it came back up, even after an interruption of the database."
"User Interface components could be further refined to enhance and extend customizations dictated by end clients."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
