"It is easy and cheap.""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 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.""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.""The solution provides extensive functionalities.""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.""What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations.

Cons
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""The user interface can be a bit more intuitive.""The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs.""OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations.""The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing.""Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""The user interface can be improved."

More OpenText Documentum Cons →

"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.""Pricing is an area that could use improvement.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices.""The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster.""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.""Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
