(1-12 of 12)Best Automation TOOL EVER!!
- In our project, IBM Blueworks is utilised to improve the customer experience when interacting with the company's customer assistance for any support or inquiries.
- Teams can utilise process mapping elements in web-based solutions to document new or current processes.
- In my opinion, the tool is quite intuitive and very efficient.
- As I have used this tool 2 months back and have worked on it for approximately 6-7 months. For that particular timeframe I found that it can enhancable in areas of integration to accommodate additional ERP and CRM tools .
For less Appropriate I can say only in terms of integration perspective with different CRM tools. Rest is all good!!!!
Excellent and simple tool
- Refine business process.
- Easy to use.
- collaborative environment
- the only difficulty has been figuring out some of its more sophisticated features learning curve. it is difficult to fully comprehend because to its size.
- Process mapping and visualization
- Documentation and standardization of processes
- Ease of use
- More advanced reporting and analytics options
- A more modern user interface
- Better mobile experience
Blueworks is easy to use and provides powerful analytics.
- Easy to create process diagrams quickly, while collaborating with others.
- Create linkages to sub-processes and other workflows.
- Track activities using metadata such as which IT systems are utilized.
- Use the glossary terms to find where different roles or systems are involved in processes throughout your org.
- I wish there were more options for activity-type icons besides just activities and gateway diamonds.
- I really wish IBM would fix the way the icons for Activity Type, such as "Robot Task" or "Service Task," appear in the corner of the activity box in a way that often overlaps the text description so you can't read it.
- It's a silly thing, but for darker color coding shades, the text should turn to white for the legibility of the text. It is hard to read when some colors are applied.
IBM Blueworks Good application to document, analyze, and improve their business processes.

My experience using IBM Blueworks Live
- User-friendly interface
- Collaborative features
- Process analysis and optimization features
- It could have more advanced modeling features
- Lack of customization options for reports and dashboards
- Better support for offline access and sync options
Centralize your documentation and make it sustainable
- Business Process Design
- Collaborative documentation
- Sustainable way to keep the documentation up to date
- Import / Export on specific reusable format
- Integration with tools such as Sharepoint
Improving one's Process with Blueworks Live!
- Cloud-based
- Very Intuitive tool
- Documentation
- Loading can be slow
- Customization of reports
- Analytics can be improved
Great addition to the IBM suite, not worth it as a standalone
- Out-of-the-box integration with the IBM Suite
- Intuitive and easy-to-use for any business analyst
- Lots of options to work with Microsoft products
- Pricing is prohibitive for any non-Large Enterprise customer
- User experience is very dated
- Not a true BPMN2 modeler so you'll have a hard time migrating to another solution later on
Easy to use end-to-end process modeling tool
- Cloud based, hence quick and easy access without any installation requirement
- Easy and intuitive, making modeling much easier
- Visio import is one of the best in Blueworks
- Low cost compared to some other tools in the market
- User management is quite easy from an admin perspective
- Ability to customize reports like change the layout if required
- To add more BPMN symbols (at least task types like script task)
- Ability to create pools in BPMN diagram, or else it cannot be integreated with SAP SolMan
It's less appropriate when enterprise-wide architecture modeling is needed like org charts, application architecture, if it has to be integrated with SAP SolMan, and when simulation needs to be done.
My Blueworks Live Experience
- It is a very simple tool.
- It allows you to define roles and responsibilities and identify where a particular process, system, input, or activity is used.
- Reporting should be improved to allow you to select the attributes to be downloaded (in Word files) and attributes from connected (in Excel).
- In the diagrams, it should allow you to design the connectors yourself.
Blueworks is a tool that provides the means for an organization's proactive management discipline
- Business user-friendly - most business people can start to utilize BWL very quickly.
- Easy way to capture and build processes starting with the discovery map.
- Central repository for a single truth for areas to go to. Business architects can understand the current process and begin to do to-be models. Business Analysts can know where to go and start to get the current as-Is model, rather than spending time and effort trying to capture the information from SMEs to just get a project started.
- Analytics - the ability to have more robust analytics. For processes being able to get information about the metadata and to be able to export that information. In addition, being able to capture end-to-end processes, sub-processes, and linked processes. To get the analytics across that value chain. To be able to export that for various areas to do analysis, problems, and opportunities.
- Reporting - Being able to have reported. For such a business-facing tool, the reporting capabilities are non-existent. This to me is a drawback to more adoption by the business. Business shouldn't have to go to IT to build reports using APIs.
- CM - Being able to capture content in BWL. Keeping pace with Digital Business Automation means BWL has to be enhanced to stay current. I feel that changes get made only after a competitor comes out with a new model capturing ability. BWL can be a great tool and should be invested in and improved with innovations not just catch up.
- Create the ability to ingest Decisions into IBM ODM product.
