We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability to customize your rules and put them inside the tool."
"This is one of the best tools to support the business and the way we work, and the numerous processes we need to implement."
"IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"IBM BPM is stable."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"One of the reasons for adopting this solution ten years ago was its ease of use. It had a lot of off-the-shelf functionality, and it did not need to be developed specifically for the project that we were implementing. That was the main reason for adopting it in the beginning."
"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"Enabled us to convert most of the paper-based work into an automated workflow process, and some of them were converted into straight-through processing, with no human interaction involved whatsoever."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"The product is reliable."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"UI is an area with a shortcoming that needs improvement."
"User Interface components could be further refined to enhance and extend customizations dictated by end clients."
"We have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"I'd like the tool to be more flexible."
"The integration could be improved."
"You must have good experience to work with it. It is not that easy. Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved. It has a safety application embedded inside it, and you need to do a lot of configuration to install it. I have been working for two days to resolve an issue."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"The content search is not easy."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"The support is not good."
