Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We contact their customer support often. They are very good and reliable."
"The case management and its integration with process design are good features."
"We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"It has reduced a lot of manual errors and processes."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"Previously, our company's business automation process was slow. IBM BPM's schedule and response functionalities are excellent...There are countless use cases in which IBM BPM proves to be a valuable tool for my clients."
"It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"It provides value and simplifies processes."
"The installation was straightforward."
 

Cons

"There are better solutions on the market. To make it a perfect ten, they should improve the price. There is a learning curve and sometimes there are issues from the software."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"The interface is limited and should improve in the future."
"We care about technology and support because support is very important and a BPM is not easy to implement."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"They could provide case studies to investigate and understand the functionality of business processes before development."
"I suggest establishing a developer forum for better communication and issue resolution. Also, the administration panel could be improved for task management."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The solution is expensive since it is an enterprise application."
"I wish it was less expensive. I don't know why their pricing model is so high for a piece of software that could benefit so many. It just seems to me that they could have a lower cost, maybe with fewer features or whatever, but it should be possible to do a lower cost workflow software that uses the same interface and underlying engine but does not cost so much that you have to be a Fortune 50 company to buy it. It is annoying to me. There are a lot of solutions that IBM has that are really powerful but nobody can afford them. They know their business, but I still feel that there are a lot of customers who would benefit from this sort of thing. I don't know what this elitism is all about. I am sure they have people doing the money numbers, but it seems like you can make a lot more money by selling it to way more people for a little bit less."
"We have a yearly licensing model. It is not expensive. There are no addition costs to the standard license."
"When considering the features of the solution the price is expensive compared to competitors."
"IBM BPM is expensive, so most large companies opt for IBM based on their licensing options."
"The product is expensive considering the hardware and software costs."
"The price is good but could be a little lower."
