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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support is good."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."

"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."

"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."

"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."
