Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"The workflow of BAW's automation is handled inside of BPM, so we can see what state it is at and how things are processing through."
"Its interface is well-designed and user-friendly"
"One of the most valuable features is the way that they are adapting to the market. Initially, it was doing only workflow. Now it has started bringing all the other components like rules within the workflow and then the integration with RPA."
"It has had a positive effect on decision-making in my organization. It helps us with our dispute process."
"This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS."
"It performs the basic tasks that are required for the BBM solution as part of the overall integration with ECM or enterprise contact management."
"It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Business Automation Workflow is cost management."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration."
"The development UI is sometimes a little slow."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow can improve UI flexibility and integration. Additionally, the solutions from IBM have to provide a paperless solution, allowing for digital versions of documents."
"The UI of the solution is not good. They should work to update the solution and make it better and fresher."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"From what I understand, in the next release they're actually going to combine all of this together as one integrated solution... If we could have one unified way to build a solution, that would really help."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
"I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list."
