Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

Oracle BPEL and WorkFusion compete in business process automation. WorkFusion appears to have the upper hand due to its superior automation and analytics features.

WorkFusion provides advanced AI-driven analytics, cognitive document processing, and flexible robotic process automation that enhances scalability and business intelligence capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Oracle BPEL can enhance its cognitive capabilities and modernization to better support non-Oracle integrations. WorkFusion could improve cost-effectiveness for specific enterprise needs and simplify some complex tasks to increase accessibility for business users. Simplifying setup and reducing resource consumption would also benefit WorkFusion.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle BPEL's integration within Oracle's ecosystem eases deployment for existing Oracle users. WorkFusion offers flexible cloud-based deployment options and is noted for its responsive customer service during setup, benefiting organizations leaning towards cloud strategies.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle BPEL offers competitive pricing for Oracle-aligned businesses, resulting in promising ROI through efficient integrations.

A highly scalable solution that provides various features for the execution of business processes

I'm a consultant. I do architecting, designing, and development. I have used two versions, 1.1 and 2.0. I’m unsure about the prices because I oversee the development and implementation. I'll highly recommend the product depending on an organization’s requirements. As someone who has worked with BPEL for 13 years, I highly recommend the product for an on-premise or hybrid integration. Multiple products or alternate solutions have come into the integration domain. However, the product has been in the industry from SOA 11g to SOA 12c and OIC. Though there are multiple competitors, the product has been here for a long time and has been helping multiple customers improve their business. Overall, I rate the solution a nine or nine and a half out of ten.

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities

I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has everything we need."

"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."

"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."

"The solution is very seamless and fast."

"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."

"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."

"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."

"A helpful feature is the analytics capability within WorkFusion. The analytics dashboards, i.e., their Tableau dashboards, are really helpful for building a business activity monitoring layer. These are very visible to senior management and stakeholders, who can see and know what is happening within processes. They can see what benefits are getting delivered as processes, either ;daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. It is easy for stakeholders or senior management to understand the value for the money that they are spending."

"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements. This has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."

"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."

"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."

"We have been very pleased with the speed and decisiveness of WorkFusion, which is able to quickly provide a disposition note or escalate to a human for additional review."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."

"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."

"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."

"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."

"In low-code automation, most parts are not customizable, particularly when Excel is involved, which increases complexity. The system can break down, requiring numerous exception cases, thus complicating workflow creation."

"I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."

"The most common issue we have is with the OCR, but that also depends on the quality of the documents your scanning. Still, I would say the OCR is comparable to other solutions. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than other OCR engines."

"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."

"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."

"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers. Their RPA is not for non-technical people. If I look at competing products, like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, Blue Prism, or even Power Automate, a non-technical person can build basic automations and deploy them. Since non-technical people can easily build basic automations, they can be deployed in no time. With WorkFusion, there isn't a similar feature that works well. One needs to write code from scratch to build automation. That is definitely a deterrent if we really want to do quick, dirty automation. I would not rate WorkFusion very high on their no-code, low-code paradigm. In this area, I would definitely expect them to improve."

"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."

"Where it can be improved is the speed. I built two bots, one with WorkFusion and the same thing with Python. My feeling was that the speed at which Python did things, how fast it did them, was quite cool. It was faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is moderately priced."

"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."

"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."

"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."

"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."

"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
