We performed a comparison between IBM Business Automation Workflow and Oracle BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it."
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses."
"It has had a positive effect on decision-making in my organization. It helps us with our dispute process."
"It has integrated UI and deployment models, and it has a deep set of consultant and service provider ecosystem features."
"One of the most valuable features is the way that they are adapting to the market. Initially, it was doing only workflow. Now it has started bringing all the other components like rules within the workflow and then the integration with RPA."
"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
"The workflow of BAW's automation is handled inside of BPM, so we can see what state it is at and how things are processing through."
"It helps develop applications very quickly. Once clients get used to it and familiar with the methodology, then they don't feel so locked in. It is able to add this element of agility to our clients' software development lifecycle. That is my favorite thing about it: You're not so locked in as you used to be when developing applications."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The support is good."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The setup and installation process could be made easier."
"I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list."
"The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"One significant challenge is the lack of accessible forums or resources to seek help or information when problems arise."
"Every client is moving to the cloud. We are still a little behind with IBM, but we are catching up from my point of view."
"From what I understand, in the next release they're actually going to combine all of this together as one integrated solution... If we could have one unified way to build a solution, that would really help."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
