"The main factor that separates Red Hat software from Oracle, IBM, Pegasystems, is the ability that it gives you to design the screens outside the software and connect it as another component with the BPM engine."

Cons
"Integrating the solution with existing systems can be complicated and it needs careful planning and execution.""IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration.""One significant challenge is the lack of accessible forums or resources to seek help or information when problems arise.""The SCADA Systems are very sophisticated and have a hard time integrating with our older scales. The technical support in regards to the partner side needs some improvement.""I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful.""The initial setup is actually a really complicated process.""The development UI is sometimes a little slow.""Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."

"I think the documentation for the tool, the official documentation, is not as strong as in other tools. You have lot of community. That is good. But sometimes you need - when you are working on a big client or a critical process - to be certain about certain things. So I think that the documentation for the tool, from the company, could be a little stronger."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution has saved us time."
  • "There is still a relatively high total cost of ownership to actually implement, support, and stand up solutions."
  • "Nowadays, clients are looking at pricing as one of the major factors. For IBM products, they always think it is expensive for them. We are still educating our clients on the IBM FlexPoints licensing."
  • "When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
  • "Licensing varies by use-case."
  • "IBM Business Automation Workflow has a flexible pricing mode, but the price is expensive. The price of the solution reflects the quality of the solution which is very high. The technical support is an additional cost."
  • "Our license is on a three-year term."
  • "It is on the expensive side, but it provides excellent supportability and an ecosystem that is proven to be a great fit for our organization."
  • More IBM Business Automation Workflow Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Without any discount, you need tools that cost roughly between $80,000 to $100,000. That is less than with IBM. And on top of that you need the consulting. That will be another $200,000. So a quarter to a third of a million dollars is needed to use get started with BPM. So I usually recommend to my clients that they begin with a little project, with the community version. That way they don't spend $200,000 or $300,000, they spend $150,000 and zero on software."
