(1-25 of 31)Very good solutions for process management
- Process discovery
- Version or snapshots management
- Collaboration and feedback tracking
- Activities or steps numbering
- Activities arrangement in process diagram
- Activities or boxes size for longer texts
Great niche tool for planning
- Easy to learn and implement
- Good for high level initial design
- Customer support was helpful when we had questions
- It was not an ideal tool for shoring up existing documented processes; it is more appropriate for new development
- Integration with other documentation tools could be better
Less suited for projects with existing documentation, other applications, use with AI, etc.
Blueworks Live for process collaboration
- Process documentation
- Swimlanes
- Overview vs deep dive - both views are available
- Capturing key details in each step of the process
- Navigation
- Sharing with unlicensed users
It is very collaborative, and was a key part of our delivery to the client.

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.
IBM Blueworks Shines
- IBM Blueworks Helps claim intake or assesment by allowing process models using bpmn.
- It helps by advising on process automation scope in the available processes
- It provides guidance to remove any bottlenecks from processes
- IBM Blueworks Can be improved in integration areas to support more erp and crm tools
- It can be provided with AI capability for more advanced features
- 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.
- Integration
- Automation and Workflow.
- Versioning and History.

My experience using IBM Blueworks Live

Innovating.

- Workflows are confusing.
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
BlueWorks Live is not that bad!
- Facilitates teamwork.
- Simplifies user interaction with documents and tasks.
- Promotes order in tasks.
- Helps save time by allowing assignment of tasks and creation of custom workflows.
- In particular, we have had problems with the availability of the service because the platform frequently crashed.
- Is not easy to pull some indicators.
- We would like to be able to see a different interface, long ago with the same.
- Payment process is not easy.
Not the greatest on the Microsoft 365 Environment
- Business flow design
- Automated processes
- Project and task management
- Design is nice and simple but could be modernized
- I wish it could integrate with other software
The easy step to enhance business
- You can operate it anywhere through a browser because it is cloud based.
- There is no need to download it. It is easy to use and reliable platform.
- Whole team can take part in business improvement.
- Support gives reliable assistance.
- Sometimes problems occur in sharing information to different devices.
- Not effective for complicated processes.
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 value for the money if you need help with collaboration
- Allows team members to work within their Space and then share that work with others
- Export/print artifacts and space activity data
- Create workflows and process blueprints
- The playback feature can be a little buggy at times and could use some more speed as well.
- It can be a little hard to navigate the many many menus and sub-menus
- The search/filter feature could use some fine-tuning. It doesn’t always return the expected results
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
- Design: to help customer to define any detail of the process to be automated
- Delivery: to share any detail of the automation.
- Operations: to manage the released automation and change management.
- Sharing jobs in the company
- To engage customer
- To record any detail in order to define processes
- Managing other documentation
- Insert and retrieve attributes on task and subtask
- Inheritance between task and subtask
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.
Blueworks Live - Helps your teams unify in success
- RPA design documents
- Manage user stories, data and milestones
- Create workflows with ease
- Could be a bit more user friendly
Great for process documentation!
- It allows us to discover, capture, and document processes in a simple way.
- Super simple method to process documentation and discovery.
- Limitations in sharing and exporting to different applications.
- I feel that changes only get made after a competitor comes out with a new model or feature.
Blueworks Live Review
- Upgraded our team and business communication!
- All on the cloud, so no downloads or heavy hardware.
- Would like to see more interface personalization options.
