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.
Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful tool for business process management integration and a straightforward setup
Oracle BPM is used as a tool integrated into another system. It helps in business process management and the generation of reports, predominantly at the end of the month For any new deployment of any system, it helps in improving some efficiencies, which is the reason for having the system. It…
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 approval process is simple."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"I like all of the features. I like that you can simulate the processes and add the time standard."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"Very, very stable."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"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 have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."
"The solution's case management is its most valuable aspect."
"The technical support of Pega BPM is very good."
"It's an end-to-end solution and a digital transformation tool."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"getNext removes some of the managements overheads as well as inbuilt reporting."
"The most valuable feature of the product is that it's very customer-centric. It's easy to use for a customer or a user. It's also easy for someone who is developing an application. You can develop different features in just one place. You don't have to go to different places."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
 

Cons

"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."
"Enhancing data generation methods for easier printing and refining the file attachment and user interface to optimize usability."
"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"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."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"An area for improvement in Pega BPM is security. It's secure, but it still has a lot of vulnerabilities. Pega BPM is robust, but it still needs some improvement performance-wise."
"There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"Pega BPM could improve the UI, it is poorly designed to have a good UX experience."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"The initial setup takes time."
"Containerization should be improved in relation to Pega because Camunda is deployable in the containerization deployment process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"It is not expensive."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"I think that its price is reasonable."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The licensing model is good."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"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 pricing is very expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"The licensing model from Pega BPM is too complex and is more expensive than other solutions, such as SAP. The overall price of the solution depends on the use case."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
