Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."
"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"IBM BPM should become cloud-native. It should also add a cloud deployment feature."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"It provides value and simplifies processes."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"We are implementing the tool to triple our monthly transaction volume."
"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
"We still have a couple of issues that we are working on right now with stability. Mostly on the configuration side of the tool, and it has been about a month that we have been working to stabilize the platform."
"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."
"The tool's workflow function is very strong."
"Process Server is no more available than new products out there, but in general IBM has a high cost and complex setup."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Importing and exporting between multiple environments is more difficult with other tools."
