I liked the tutorials associated with IBM Blueworks, they were very useful and informative to get started.

The ability to start creating the process workflows with limited use was easy to pickup, importing visio process workflows as a starting point, and viewing the ability to see other workflows in the system provided a meaningful way to increase the use of Blueworks.

The ability to create 3 branches from a decision flow is there, however the ability to branch to more than 3 options was not easy to create in the process flows.

I was trying to create a process workflow for an intake form that would start off with a question and have more than 3 options to select from and was unable to create the flow in IBM Blueworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Blueworks live is very helpfull and cost and time saving tool, it has some minor drawbacks over its competitors which includes limited customizations for process diagrams and report generations, also it is highly cloud based software which might need connection to internet all the time. though these are minor drawbacks over its vast advantages, they are worth noting.

Mapping functionality to allow linking of processes and capturing metadata. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a fan of the community recommendations/voting system for new features. Can be hard to find similar ideas and group them. The governance module was an improvement but needs some enhancements to align with organizational needs. There are some 3rd party offered elements (Salient Process - Insights) that seem like they should be native available functionality. Examples like RACI and journey maps.
