A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach

Offers good case management and its integration with process design but there's a learning curve
We mainly use it for human-centric operational processes (less than 20) The case management and its integration with process design are the only pros comparable to Komunda. There is room for improvement in terms of integrations. It is one of the biggest drawbacks. My organization has been using…

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"With the Process Center, I can go to one place and view what all the environments are doing."
"Enabled us to convert most of the paper-based work into an automated workflow process, and some of them were converted into straight-through processing, with no human interaction involved whatsoever."
"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."
"It helps maintain, and in many instances, lower costs, as well as to maintain those costs, keeping them stable."
"It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"The platform's most valuable features are its process automation capabilities and its ability to provide a comprehensive view of business operations."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
 

Cons

"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."
"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."
"IBM BPM's UI is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations."
"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 initial setup was complex. It is not always easy to launch a new platform and it needed better coordination with IBM."
"The price and the overall installation process could be improved."
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."
"Its price is on the higher side, and it can be improved. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There are no additional costs."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"IBM could improve the price. It is far too expensive."
"It gives us a good return on investment."
"IBM BPM cannot be considered a cheaply priced product. IBM BPM is a really expensive product compared to other companies. One needs to opt for the perpetual licensing model offered by IBM."
"The pricing is very high."
