Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"The support is good."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
 

Cons

"We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues."
"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"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."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"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."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"We use the free version."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing model is good."
"It's pried high, this solution is 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."
