Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"Overall, I'm satisfied with the product. If you compare it with other products, it's probably not as easygoing or as simple to implement as the rest. But after you get used to it, it works. It has a lot of capabilities and potential, but the people, who come from different technologies, have some difficulty getting used to the way of working with IBM products."
"Automating the whole workflow process to give our data steward the ability to take actions rapidly, and making sure we have all the data synced within the different platforms that we are using."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"We like that it does not require a lot of hours to train our people."
"It provides value and simplifies processes."
"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."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."
"The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"We had a weird problem that whenever the database would go down, even for a few seconds, it broke the connection. It would not come back up as it was supposed to. However, working with IBM, we were able to figure out a fix, then it came back up, even after an interruption of 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."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit high. It's gone up in cost."
"IBM BPM's UI is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"IBM BPM needs to have a better and modified interface."
"This is technology, and there's always room for improvement. It would be better to have a single solution. Trying to have an overview in terms of this solution brings together the concepts of BPM processes, customer journeys, and an automation part for KPIs. All of this working together and coming up with a single solution with privacy is more commercial than anything else."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"Its functions need more stability."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
