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.

Works well, but its interface should be a bit more user-friendly

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself, as it is quite intuitive."
"Oracle BPM is a whole development platform (stack) used to create your BPM application."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"One of the most valuable features of the solution is the capability to allow the implementation of static processes, using the standard BPMN 2.0 notation, and also to address not straightforward, dynamic process scenarios, by providing features for Case Management (Adaptive Case Management, ACM)."
"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."
"Oracle BPM is easy to use for both the business and developers, and Oracle BPM's tool for service and application integration is the best on the market to accomplish this."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Regarding the Process Analytics feature, which features are you referring to?"
"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

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing model is good."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"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 pricing is very expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"We have a yearly license."
