Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"It helps improve your process through continual measurement."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"It makes the company business processes work more efficiently."
"Scalability is good. In the time that I have been there, we have added more JVMs to help with the increased workload, so it does scale."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"Agility is the key. It gives our customers a faster way to be able to implement processes, get ownership of task, visibility into a process. The ability to modify that process, optimize that process over time, is probably the biggest benefit that they get from the software."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"The setup is easy."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"We are a government organization, and we are the largest government power sector in India. We generate around 30% of power in India. Therefore, our processes are quite complex. Although IBM BPM is a low-code or no-code software, if you want to have extremely complex workflows, just the business process diagrams are not helpful in creating those workflows. While implementing complex workflows, only the process flow diagrams did not help us. We had to write a lot of Java scripts and Java queries to achieve what we wanted. Its integration capabilities with the SAP environment have to be improved. At present, we are only talking at the web services environment level. Its price also needs to be improved. It is currently expensive. Previously, Active Directory required a heterogeneous environment, but now they want a homogeneous environment. We had onboarded employees through Microsoft Active Directory, and now I have to implement Microsoft AD only from the cloud for my vendors."
"The user experience, while it has improved, should continue to improve."
"We had a weird problem that whenever the database would go down, even for a few seconds, it broke the connection. It would not come back up as it was supposed to. However, working with IBM, we were able to figure out a fix, then it came back up, even after an interruption of the database."
"There is a lot of room for improvement of the dashboards."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product. I think IBM is working on it but I know there are a lot of requests coming in from different organizations on this."
"The pricing is a little bit high. It's gone up in cost."
"The business would like to use the product with a lot less IT and equipment involvement."
"We need process monitoring. It is somewhat complex to monitor all the processes which work."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
