We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and IBM WebSphere Message Broker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IBM BPM is stable."
"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."
"They have some quick-win programs that are designed to come in, they'll bring a developer in and they'll work with your developer to get you started. That's what we did and that worked really great. We got an understanding of the product, we got an understanding of how to deploy the product. And when we were done with that engagement, we were off and running."
"The most valuable feature of IBM BPM is the low code design, and ease of maintenance. Additionally, the integration is good and easy to do."
"It has reduced a lot of manual errors and processes."
"I like the APIs and the BPM coach is a good tool. But if I had to pick one, it would be the API."
"It makes the company business processes work more efficiently."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective."
"The solution has good integration."
"The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"The integration could be improved."
"The product is extremely complex to use and administrate."
"We would appreciate more user-friendly definitions of processes with a more user-friendly interface for documenting processes."
"IBM BPM is stable, but sometimes there are issues with the server."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"The installation configuration is quite difficult."
"Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM."
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
