The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

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

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

Pros

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations, and the solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"Oracle BPM is a whole development platform (stack) used to create your BPM application."
"Overall, it is a very good platform."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
 

Cons

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Technical support is an Achilles' heel for all Oracle products, and this is no exception. It takes forever (several months) to have an issue resolved."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure and requires some experience to use it."
"The technical support for Oracle BPM isn't very good. You'll face a lot of challenges with support."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Support for Decision Modelling Notation (DMN). There is a Business Rule Engine available, but this is not DMN-compatible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"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."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
