Easy to use, reliable, and simple to expand
We have used the same version for two years, however, now there's a new version, which solves a lot of problems. The solution we use that's from two years ago, has the ARIS Connect Server, the web application, and the ARIS client application. Some things you have to do in the clients, and you can't do them in the web environment. In the new version, though it's not installed by us, it's changed. You can do this. You can do almost everything in the web client. The difficulty that you have with switching between the two environments is solved in the new version. However, I haven't tested it yet. That said, that was one of the issues we had. It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version.

Facilitates process integration across departments but requires better pricing and broader feature adoption
The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization. I see that it is integrated with other ERPs. If you integrate it with human HRMS workflow management, then it will provide integration with HRMS for Oracle E-Business Suite and for process analytics and business.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution is very stable, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, it's reliable, and the performance is good."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"This product is useful when you're modeling business processes; you can use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"Oracle BPM is easy to use for both the business and developers, and Oracle BPM's tool for service and application integration is the best on the market to accomplish this."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape, and we have had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"The best part about this solution is that the feature set is complete."
"Overall, it is a very good platform."
"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."
"We built solutions based on this product in pretty much all domains, from retail to banking and finance, communications and utilities, and various industries (namely, the aerospace industry), as well as public sector, from applications, which deal mainly with approval processes and auditing needs, to a full blown Service Management ERP for a large retailer."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."

"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Oracle BPM should ensure its product is aligned with current technology by keeping up with advancements like AI."
"Support for Decision Modelling Notation (DMN). There is a Business Rule Engine available, but this is not DMN-compatible."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"Oracle BPM has a lack of vision and is very complex to develop and maintain."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"You have to maintain it manually."
