What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

IBM BPM is one of the pioneers in the BPM industry. IBM BPM provides a user friendly interface to automate a business process in an efficient way. A number of users can work simultaneously on one process app and thus it saves a lot of time that arises due to the shared editing bottleneck in some software. The process center offers a design desk which is quite a user friendly interface for the development purpose. You have access to all the tools on the right side and on the left side you have access to various services.

IBM BPM provides you with a process center that is the development platform, a process admin wherein you can create and configure all your setting for the process app and a process portal that is used to expose the application to the user.

It is a must use software of automating a business process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

Not much to dislike but sometimes the process center is not in sync with the process admin and the changes you that you make in the process admin are not reflected in the process center on the go. Also there's problem while deploying the application. Sometimes it can give fatal error and you have to restart the server to successfully deploy your application. Rest the software works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW):

IBM BPM is certainly one of the best software for automation of the business process. Before making any assumptions about this tool one should first use it himself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've developed front end systems for consuming various soap services and manipulating the data in the database. The best thing is that more than two people can work on the same app in the same time. It also takes account the fact that two user are not editing the same artifact in the process app. So while you are editing one of the artifact in the process app it gets locked and others can only see it in read mode.

What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

The toolkit feature is the one I like the most, it offers code and services resuability and also maintains proper structure to keep database services in one toolkit and other services in other. Also you can make UI within minutes by just dragging and dropping the components. Added advantage is custom html code to design your UI. It saves a lot of time creating a process.. There are so many components bar chart, text ahead, buttons, etc which helps in making the UI within so less time. The DB services, Wait Events, UCA, exception handling are so useful for proper flow.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

The error received when a service fails can be more descriptive.. And in detail so that time needed to resolve an error is reduced..

Overall the product is best for development and time saving.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

IBM BPM's biggest strength is process modeling. With blueworks its a cake walk to white board processes to stakeholders and chat around. IBM BPM Coaches went through a significant improvement with a easy to customize views, rich Dashboards and REST API for building complex portals. This is a game changer when compared with Pega which is little rigid when it comes to displaying BPM tasks on external portals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

If you need to develop complex User Interfaces, they are very hard to implement using Coaches. If you need to call SOA Services that have complex data structures such as recursively nested objects and anyType objects, the built in service discovery and type generation does not support it and blows up. The Process Designer IDE tends to run very slow because of all the chatting it has to do with the server side Process Center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) solving and how is that benefiting you?

My customer uses IBM Business Process Manager to onboard its clients for trading in new markets. The clients basically undergo a registration process with my customer. The one big problem my customer used to have was visibility into the whole process. Without a BPMS in the past my customer was unaware of the status of the onboarding client, leading to manual phone calls and email conversations to resolve the registration process involving chaos and confusion. In the process a lot of time and money was lost both to my customer and to my customer's client. With IBM BPM on-boarding managers were empowered with real time dashboards which helped them to act on exceptions when they happened not after something had happened. This was a department level usecase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

I like the easy integration of software and how easy it is to work, even if you are not good with technology. A nice and professional-looking interface as well, easy to navigate and find what is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

I don’t like that it becomes difficult at times to reopen previous works. I dislike the interface, it is kind of bulky and hard to navigate. I do enjoy the actual survey format themselves, they’re very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW):

If they fix integration with outside programs, sometimes it is difficult to complete tasks, the program will be 100%. Super easy to use if you are not familiar with this type of web manager and the navigation is understandable as well. Limited crashes and very affordable, especially for college students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I enjoy how easy it is to multitask with different projects and outside works. I have not had many issues with the software itself, it is in need of an update soon though. The program is sometimes slow and lags but the actual interface itself is very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
