More Genpact Cora SeQuence Pros →

"It is efficient in reducing costs.""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.""Our customers use the solution as a workflow platform to manage their processes.""This is one of the best tools to support the business and the way we work, and the numerous processes we need to implement.""Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM.""With the Process Center, I can go to one place and view what all the environments are doing.""The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us.""The most valuable features are the integration capabilities - BPM can connect with almost any legacy or advanced system."

Cons
"The setup and configuration is complex.""The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."

More Genpact Cora SeQuence Cons →

"The analysis reports could be much better.""IBM BPM integrated with Spark UI and the UI is now much better, but they still need to improve the UI because competitors have predefined templates and other additional features. In these competitor's solutions, you are able to use the templates, map your data, and the form is ready to use. With this solution, you need to write a lot of code to have the same quality as the competitor's templates. It would be a benefit to make this platform more towards low-code or no-code.""We need process monitoring. It is somewhat complex to monitor all the processes which work.""We thought there might have been a little more discussion early on about, "Hey, if you're doing this, set it up this way," or some best practices or some guidance that we didn't get.""We would like better performance and more ​visibility on each step of the tool.​""Stability wavers. We have some opportunities for improvement in this space, especially as we approach our target volume of a million transactions a day. It is tough, because it is not necessarily the product. It is more around the platform and infrastructure to support it, so the connectivity to the database, web sessions, and reverse proxies in front of that.""The cost of the solution has room for improvement.""It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."

    Overview
    Sequence is a BPMS (Business Process Management Software) solution. Its development environment provides an environment for designing forms, tasks, messages, system integration, and flow connections. Sequence processes are, by default, operated from within a Microsoft SharePoint site. Sequence supports integration with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to enable managers to analyze performance and determine trends relating to KPIs and SLAs. In addition to integrating with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Dynamics products, it can be integrated with external systems through protocols such as web services, WCF. It also enables connection to enterprise applications such as SAP and Oracle. The product's architecture enables IT personnel to make changes to processes without taking them offline.

    Reviews from Real Users

    IBM BPM is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it’s good for developing complex apps, is robust, and has helpful team management and process performance features.

    Zoran C., Owner/CEO at IT SPHERE, says, “It is perfect if you have to develop complex apps without much coding (only java script). It is also good if you don't have much IT resources in your company and would like to involve business analysts in the process of developing apps. My opinion is that it can do about 50% of all developers' work.”

    Suhas V., BPM Architect at GBM, mentions, “Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."

    A BPM Consultant at a financial services firm comments, "Some of the features that I like the most are team management and process performance. They are both very useful and very powerful with regard to the workflow."

    A Digital Banking & Innovation Director at a financial services firm expresses, “The processing functionality makes it easy to change processes and workflows easily.”
