Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."

"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."

"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."

"The support is good."

"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."

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."

More Oracle BPM pros

"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."

"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."

Cons

"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."

"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."

"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."

"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."

"The solution's licensing cost is very high."

"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."

"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."

More Oracle BPM cons

"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."

"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very expensive."

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

"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."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"The licensing model is good."

"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."
