Using multiple IBM portfolios together is so convenient because they come from the same manufacturer. Everything is much more simple with application communication, and if/when there is an issue, there is only one place to call. IBM is able to resolve all issues!

We selected Blueworks Live because it's the easiest way to do what we need to do, without a lot of other things we wouldn't use at all. It's exactly right for our task.

I can say it is not only good but it is best Automation tool ever. Its streamline our business project and with web based solution it allows my team to document existing or new processes using process mapping capabilities. It provides powerful analytics and it is easy to use via online. I personally feel it is very intutive. For less Appropriate I can say only in terms of integration perspective with different CRM tools. Rest is all good!!!!

Blueworks Live was part of a project deal. We did not keep it after the project. We found there are many solutions offering similar or superior capabilities - the fact that Blueworks does not fully support the universal BPMN standard was a big letdown for us. The pricing also did not make sense as a standalone solution.
