The Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite 8 is a Windows-based server and development toolset that helps streamline the BPM launch cycle.

“In general, I found the Ultimus solution to undervalue good planning. In comparison to offerings from vendors such as Lombardi that recognize the necessity for discovery/documentation tools, Ultimus has a huge hole to plug,” James R. Borck wrote.

What’s more, proprietary engine can be difficult to work with, including a lack of integration with standardized design-time tools, no native support for BPMN, and no comprehensive onboard rules-management facility,” Borck explained.

But all is not lost.

“On the bright side, Ultimus flaunts a no-code approach to BPM that will have you up and running quickly when implementing document-centric workgroup processes … I did warm up to BPM Studio. The Ultimus client provides a good interface for task workers to be productive with a very minimal learning curve. And I found the administrative and reporting interfaces delivered good insight with excellent functionality.”
