Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using IBM Cloud Pak for Automation for a short time, but the solution is very fancy, allowing us to automate tasks in various Cloud services. IBM Cloud allows us to migrate existing automation environments without modifying the application. The service is currently only used in one department but we plan to expand on this.

Pros and Cons

Multi-cloud support
Very good reporting, better than in AWS
Migrate existing environments

Documentation is not great.
Initial setup is not easy.
Perform platform integration testing

Return on Investment

Full insight into the course of activities
Verification of correctness of task execution in a multi-cloud environment

Alternatives Considered

Because IBM supports BPMN, BPEL, and Case Manager

Other Software Used

Azure Active Directory, Symantec Client Management Suite, MobileIron

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that this solution is quite good, but a few elements can be improved. For example, simplifying the initial configuration. IBM is very good at deploying services, configuring, and optimizing resource allocations. We also use this tool to test different kinds of scenarios in a multi-cloud environment. We use IBM for automating steps in your end-to-end workflow.
