"Modeling and development in IBM BPM is very fast. IBM BPM also provides tools for easy integration."
What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

I best like how easy and fast I can model and build a process flow by drag and drop control views which can be customized and reusable. The java integration components give me a chance to do absolutely anything in BPM. In addition to the CM integration component that i used to manipulate and control files on CM from BPM. The REST API are so rich and gives the developer a mean to access and manipulate instant data with security. The process portal contains a search with filtering criterias based on predefined tracked fields. The KPI are very helpful for users to know which tasks are due or overdue. I also like the flexibility of user task assignments that BPM provides. BPM also has very rich technical documentation. The most important tool is the web service tool which can discover wsdl and auto generate request/response data objects in a click. The numerous ways of starting a process like manual trigger or scheduled task or start from REST API. From BPM I can import javascript files and use its functions in the control view events and anywhere I want. The HTML advance component gives me a chance to inject HTML data inside the screen in a very easy way and to add style to a specific control. The BPM Theme is great at giving all controls the same look and feel by a single click.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I don't like that BPM does not provide a tool to export data from the BPM screen and save it as pdf for e.g. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best business process management tool to model,automate,optimize business processes."
What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

IBM BPM is the easiest and user friendly tool for developer to work on.Its good process workflow designs and easy to design UI's without writing lot of codes attracts you most.If you face any issue related to product you can directly raise PMR on that and their supporr team is very helpful to resolve your issues.When it comes to service implementations it gives you many options to create services as web services,Java integration services,database services which just needed query and parameters without writing too much code will attracts me most.When it comes to UI it is providing every single control that you can just drag and drop and use it with it's events(click, hover etc.),you don't need to make extra efforts on making UI's.Comes to the process workflow designs it provides conditional,parallel gateways for workflow designs.Its message events and timer events are very much helpful.One of the good thing I like that it's event subprocess(error, message,timer).for exception handling we are using error event subprocess in our current project.

"Revew on IBM BPM tool"
What do you like best about IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW)?

The most useful things is that IBM BPM has we can easily create a user face interface. It has some pre defined services which is very helpful while creating other services. We use it to interact with other server like oracle Interagation Designer. IBM BPM has som many pre defined kolban toolkit service which we can use it in creating service UI. Its has also facility to create web seervice so can consume external service request data. We can use SOAP and REST service to get the request data from external service.It has toolkit which we can use to create a service and the same service we can use it later in other service and we can use coach view which we can use it in other coaches while designing UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes loading part of UI takes lot of time. It can improve with automation error dectation while writing javascript code specially for syntax error. When we run the application and got the error...then we need to check in log file which is a time consuming. We can give the error message and regular epression for variable . But it could also improve in a most effecient way. And everything is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
