Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses.""The business process modeling is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it.""It helps develop applications very quickly. Once clients get used to it and familiar with the methodology, then they don't feel so locked in. It is able to add this element of agility to our clients' software development lifecycle. That is my favorite thing about it: You're not so locked in as you used to be when developing applications.""It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it.""This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS.""The dashboards are helpful because you can display reports directly on your screen.""The most valuable feature of IBM Business Automation Workflow is cost management."

"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible.""The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good.""The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams.""It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time.""It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches.""OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents.""The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet.""This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."

Cons
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities.""Integrating the solution with existing systems can be complicated and it needs careful planning and execution.""One significant challenge is the lack of accessible forums or resources to seek help or information when problems arise.""Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting.""Every client is moving to the cloud. We are still a little behind with IBM, but we are catching up from my point of view.""The setup and installation process could be made easier.""The development UI is sometimes a little slow.""I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list."

More IBM Business Automation Workflow Cons →

"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option.""An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved.""The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use.""Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier.""They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them.""We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support.""Integration is an area where the solution lacks.""The user interface could definitely be improved."
