We performed a comparison between AWS Step Functions and Oracle BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The number of historical events is great."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The support is good."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
