Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
SumitKumar17 - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows users to customize the user interface and retrieve data, but licensing cost is very high
Currently, Oracle BPM is integrated with different applications, and the workflow decides which part it has to take. The solution is on the Oracle Fusion platform. It has integration with other services, which are essentially normal Java-based applications. Oracle BPM also provides a task query service that allows you to customize your user interface, retrieve the data, and display it as per user convenience. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate Oracle BPM a seven out of ten.
Mallik-Kesavaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly improves the overall cycle time, and offers robotic automation, and the BPM workflow
The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve. Our developers and business analysts need to invest significant time and effort to fully understand and utilize the platform's capabilities. In essence, it's a complex product that demands a deep understanding to be used effectively. So, it cuts both ways. This complexity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's expertise. So, the learning curve is pretty high! So, it's very good if you are a professional user, but you need to be a really good professional user to use this solution effectively.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"Very, very stable."
"The initial setup is super simple."
"With the appropriate governance framework, properly trained business analysts can be empowered to design and build business solutions themselves."
"Great software for managing my business. I think this is the best business process management software."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"Business process modelling and simulation."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"It is easy and cheap."
"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 Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"They're pretty easy to create, and they're pretty easy to deploy."
"Pega is the leader in business process management solutions"
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"The technical support from Pega is very low, rating a one or two out of ten."
"The flexibility of the Pega Platform in allowing use of different UI architectures, such as React and Angular, is also appreciated."
"The technical support of Pega BPM is very good."
"I have a lot of experience in this kind of industry, and Pega is one of the best solutions in terms of performance, capabilities, and the way we develop."
"Pega BPM offers a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities."
 

Cons

"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The product used to have a simulation feature, which I had used quite often. However, it's since been discontinued. It might have originally been a paid feature. It would be nice if they could bring it back and offer it for free."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"The on-premise software has some bugs."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"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."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn."
"The solution needs to invest more in its technology. For public and private clouds, for example, the development environment is slow. Saving events should take one to two seconds, max, and because you are making changes often, the slowness cuts down on productivity because we have to wait for things to save before continuing."
"Pega's technical support could be better."
"First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface area."
"To learn Pega, you need to be a partner. If someone just wants to learn Pega for the sake of learning, they won't be able to do so as they don't give access to that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"Bizagi is totally free for modeling."
"From what I know of the market, I think Bizagi is a cheap solution for process engineering. Out of the solutions I've tried, from cheapest to most expensive, would be Vizor, Bizagi, Signavio, and then Siemens. I used a version of Bizagi that my university provided for free, so I have never paid for a license."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"This is a free solution."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."
"The licensing model is good."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"The price of Pega BPM falls on the higher side of the spectrum if I were to compare it with other solutions in the market."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"In terms of the pricing for Pega BPM, other solutions may be cheaper, but it doesn't matter if Pega BPM has a higher price tag because what's important is that it's the best solution, and that is what people look for. If I would rate the pricing for the solution, I'd give it three out of five. You have to pay extra for additional features in Pega BPM."
