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…
Prince Mathew - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The new reporting and the new dashboard features are really good."
"It is very stable. There is no downtime."
"Process Modelling, simulation and optimization, integration, UI components."
"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."
"IBM's deployment box is one huge black box. We can create all the services with our own code or without a codebase, however, we have a huge amount of space with practically no limitation."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"The most valuable feature of IBM BPM is the low code design, and ease of maintenance. Additionally, the integration is good and easy to do."
"We made the transformation to agile. Altogether with BPM, it is the total package."
"It is being able to see the process, and understanding what the process is versus having to bury it in code somewhere."
"The designer feature, compared to other solutions is easy to use."
 

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."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"I would like to see more inclusion of RPA technologies. If we have more manual processes, we can use robotic process automation and integrate that in with the solution."
"One of the things that we are looking at is cognitive learning. IBM has another product called IBM RPA, I think, which is doing some of that stuff. We would like to see more of that with respect to cognitive learning and AI put back into the process engine to help."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"I suggest establishing a developer forum for better communication and issue resolution. Also, the administration panel could be improved for task management."
"Except for the Lucene the index - we had a couple of issues in the Process Portal where the Lucene index went out of sync, and we had to work at least 15 - 20 hours to have it back in sync with the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It gives us a good return on investment."
"We have a yearly licensing model. It is not expensive. There are no addition costs to the standard license."
"Price wise, IBM BPM is cheaper than other similar solutions and has excellent pricing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a ten."
"The pricing is quite high, I would rate it two out of five."
"Due to its extensive features and capabilities, the product pricing is more aligned with medium—to large enterprises."
"The product is expensive considering the hardware and software costs."
"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."
