Allows users to customize the user interface and retrieve data, but licensing cost is very high
Currently, Oracle BPM is integrated with different applications, and the workflow decides which part it has to take. The solution is on the Oracle Fusion platform. It has integration with other services, which are essentially normal Java-based applications. Oracle BPM also provides a task query service that allows you to customize your user interface, retrieve the data, and display it as per user convenience. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate Oracle BPM a seven out of ten.
Enas Selim - PeerSpot reviewer
Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.

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."
"The support is good."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"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."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"It is possible to do the whole drafting process at the same time in Sagnavio so you don't have a double effort of writing it once, arranging it and entering it again."
"It's way of handling is really an advantage. It's quite easy to use, without too much training . That's the main point for me."
"For the collaboration functions, we use the commenting and quick model functions for process owners who don't have specific knowledge about Process Manager."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"A complete business project management suite which seems to open endless possibility."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
 

Cons

"The product must reduce its cost."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"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."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting."
"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."
"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"It's pried high, this solution is 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 solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."
"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
