Facilitates process integration across departments but requires better pricing and broader feature adoption
The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization. I see that it is integrated with other ERPs. If you integrate it with human HRMS workflow management, then it will provide integration with HRMS for Oracle E-Business Suite and for process analytics and business.

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

Pros

"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself, as it is quite intuitive."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations, and the solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"This is a solution with many features that work really well."
"We built solutions based on this product in pretty much all domains, from retail to banking and finance, communications and utilities, and various industries (namely, the aerospace industry), as well as public sector, from applications, which deal mainly with approval processes and auditing needs, to a full blown Service Management ERP for a large retailer."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"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."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"The technical support for Oracle BPM isn't very good. You'll face a lot of challenges with support."
"Oracle BPM has a lack of vision and is very complex to develop and maintain."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"The licensing model is good."
"We have a yearly license."
