We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."Its most valuable features are usability and integration with other IBM products."
"The functionality to design UI to be responsive and can run on multiple devices."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"It is efficient in reducing costs."
"The installation was straightforward."
"Everything is coupled together and comes as one solution."
"It helps maintain, and in many instances, lower costs, as well as to maintain those costs, keeping them stable."
"One of the reasons for adopting this solution ten years ago was its ease of use. It had a lot of off-the-shelf functionality, and it did not need to be developed specifically for the project that we were implementing. That was the main reason for adopting it in the beginning."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"I find the IT portfolio management very valuable and helpful."
"The support experience in Latin America is great."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"This is a complete package with all of the functionality that we need."
"What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"We would like better performance and more visibility on each step of the tool."
"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."
"The integration could be improved."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"IBM BPM uses JavaScript as a programming language for the server-side. I don’t know why it’s not Java, as it’s more powerful and the JavaScript part is translated into Java anyway."
"The front end is not customised for a good user experience."
"Process versioning was tricky, not straightforward."
"The tool's workflow function is very strong."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"An area for improvement in MEGA HOPEX is its vast learning curve. The tool is also heavy, so that's a pain point. MEGA HOPEX is also tricky to use if you don't train for many hours."
"We have a very close relationship with MEGA representatives in Mexico, and we ask them why they don't offer impact analysis. For example, we have a server in the center and provide the client a view of what's in the peripheral area, like one cluster, application, process area, and services. We want to offer our clients that level of visibility with HOPEX."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"I would like to see more regular updates released."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
