Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."

"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."

"It is easy and cheap."

"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 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."

"The solution provides extensive functionalities."

More Oracle BPM pros

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

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

Cons

"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."

"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."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."

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

"The product must reduce its cost."

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."

More Oracle BPM cons

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very expensive."

"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."

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."

"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."

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

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

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