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

"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
 

Cons

"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"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 product must reduce its cost."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"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 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."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The licensing model is good."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
