Dislike

The steep learning curve requires significant training for both users and admins, the customization complexity and advanced features often require technical skills or IBM support, and finally the user interface is not as modern or intuitive as Id like compared to other competitors.

    Powerful Automation and Customization Offset by Dated Interface and Complex Setup

    Nov 1, 2025
    I was earlier using IBM Business Automation Workflow in my old org and I'll say honestly it was a was a solid platform to use. It's second to none when it comes to complex enterprise processes and it brings together workflow and case management pretty well. I think it's more catered to enterprise use only. If someone takes the time and is ready to give some hours in learning then it shows how powerful a piece of software it is. Overall I'd say it's reliable, stable and capable, but the ui is not the most modern.
