Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
 

Cons

"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"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."
