"IBM BPM is stable."
"Our customers use the solution as a workflow platform to manage their processes."
"Integration is a big plus for me."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"IBM BPM and Automation Anywhere working together automate manual tasks with a reduction in FTEs, creating about a 30% reduction in FTEs by automating processes."
"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."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"When you are working with Microsoft solutions, you will see that the integration with the operating system, and implementing some security features, are easier in IIS than when using another solution."
"The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites."
"It helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment."
"IIS's best features are its management console and stability."
"The tool is very easy to use and efficient."
"IIS has a very simple and user-friendly interface, which helps a lot in effective and efficient management."
"IIS is stable."
"The solution is easy to use and connects with Microsoft."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"It is very usable and easy to understand. Antivirus and VPN are the main features being used now. It allows my clients to access the network from home, which was very crucial because of the pandemic."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"User Interface components could be further refined to enhance and extend customizations dictated by end clients."
"We care about technology and support because support is very important and a BPM is not easy to implement."
"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."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"Our developers are complaining that it's too complex to maintain."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"The options for customization could be improved. More customization using your own code would be beneficial."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"At the moment, we have big problems with stability, and I'm not very happy at the moment. So, the stability could be improved."
"IIS's memory management could be improved."
"We'd like future versions to be more stable."
"Occasionally, we encounter performance issues with IIS where it becomes unresponsive and requires a solution restart."
"The documentation of IIS could be better. They are not easily accessible. I had to use YouTube and other online resources to learn how to use the solution properly."
"It would be beneficial if you could automate security certificate monitoring with IIS."
"If Microsoft IIS could work well with AppOptics or things like PHP, Python, and other custom languages that run on the webserver, it would be ideal. I think there are cases where people need to use Apache instead of IIS when IIS doesn't work well with other web languages."
"The solution's scalability needs improvement."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
"Its price and licensing policy can be improved. It could be a little cheaper. Licensing is sometimes confusing. There are so many different options. It is difficult to find out what to buy or what to choose for my necessity."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
