Good reporting, a very good dashboard, and easy to set up
We primarily use the solution for processes like preparing worksheets. It's essential to the human resource process like expenses and allowances The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good. The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more…

More customizable than IBM FileNet and useful for automation
One suggestion for IBM BPM is to provide better integration between their products, such as DataCap, which we use for scanning. Although the new CP4BA offers offline capabilities, not everyone is on CP4BA, so enhanced integration for those on older versions would be beneficial. Another major suggestion is to offer a migration path when a product reaches its end of life. For example, there was no migration path when we moved, so we had to redo everything we had developed over ten years completely.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
"The solution is more customizable than IBM FileNet."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"It provides a very robust environment to build an integration framework or workflow patterns that we have. A lot of changes or modifications have been made to this solution over the past few years. The features that they have added this time have helped developers like us to work on the developmental environment and leverage all the capabilities of the tool. This is what I like about this solution."
"There are a lot of things that you get out-of-the-box: Timers and so on, which took a lot of effort and code before."
"Technical support is good. They are very responsive. It is usually me who takes more time to get back to them than they take to get back to me, which is good."
"It helps improve your process through continual measurement."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
 

Cons

"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The setup and configuration is complex."
"IBM BPM's UI is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The initial setup can be tricky because IBM BPM is not based on a popular stack, and it's difficult to hire a developer for this product."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"Needs better reporting. I do not think that we are fully taking advantage of what it already has yet."
"I'd like the tool to be more flexible."
"I'm hearing things might be improving, to really deliver on BPM as opposed to simply workflow. That really should be emphasized a lot more than it has been, because a lot of customers will simply implement the process and leave it there, because the product maybe doesn't emphasize BPM as much as it should, as much as maybe they talk about it in the sales process. The whole idea of BPM, is to iteratively improve the process, and in order to do that you have to have the analytics tool with it. A lot of times that doesn't go as far as it should simply because there's a lot more work to be done for that to happen, and just some sort of technical limitations that don't make that as easy as it should be."
"It is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It should provide more flexibility to connect with external systems, and there should be in-built services that can be used to integrate with other systems quickly."
"Due to its extensive features and capabilities, the product pricing is more aligned with medium—to large enterprises."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"IBM BPM is expensive, so most large companies opt for IBM based on their licensing options."
"It is pricey."
"It's expensive. All software is always extremely high. The manufacturing cost that we have compared to the selling cost, it's not like you're building a house or building a car. But putting that aside, considering that it's expensive, it's a lot of money. If you compare it with some of the other alternatives in the market, it's a similar price. For instance, if you compare it with Pegasystems, it's a similar price."
"Starting out with Express can also help reduce the cost for adopting the product."
"It gives us a good return on investment."
