We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and OpenText MBPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"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."
"The integration and design are valuable features."
"I think the best way it can be it improved, is to make it easier to install. It's a very complicated piece of software, and there are a lot of things you have to do to get it set up. It's not just running an installer. You install WebSphere. You install the BPM product, and there's a large host of other steps you have to do: run queries against the database, you have to manually configure a bunch of properties files for your environment. I think if they could streamline all that, so it wasn't a considerable effort to install, that would be very useful. Because from an engineering point of view, you want to spend as little time as possible actually installing a product."
"There are a lot of things that you get out-of-the-box: Timers and so on, which took a lot of effort and code before."
"The possibility to add Java code as embedded .jar, that increases the flexibility of the solution."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"If you want to use IBM BPM, you will have to invest a lot of money for licenses and you need to learn that there are limitations in developing applications. You cannot create anything you want."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"The initial setup was complex. It is not always easy to launch a new platform and it needed better coordination with IBM."
"The coaches and the user interface are the areas that can be improved a lot. It is good in terms of data processing, but the UI, scripting, and coaches are not very user-friendly and developer-friendly. Performance is always an issue. The scripting and the pattern that it uses are very tedious for new developers to understand, and it takes time to master it in depth. When comparing IBM BPM with IBM APN, a lot of things are provided out of the box in IBM APN. We don't have to write code or a Java connector to make a functionality work. It would be very helpful and time-saving for developers if IBM BPM is improved in this area to provide many functionalities or drag-and-drop options so that the developers don't have to write the code."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"We need process monitoring. It is somewhat complex to monitor all the processes which work."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
