Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful tool for business process management integration and a straightforward setup
Oracle BPM is used as a tool integrated into another system. It helps in business process management and the generation of reports, predominantly at the end of the month For any new deployment of any system, it helps in improving some efficiencies, which is the reason for having the system. It…

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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The support is good."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"The most valuable feature for me is the collaboration point of view, where everybody has a single view, or source of truth, and everybody sees the same thing. Everyone can comment, contribute, and discuss the processes itself, which makes it easier to funnel down the most value adding comments and make the relevant changes to the processes. This leads to the next best iteration or version of your process."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is a good solution that can be used in various organizations."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling."
"The collaboration hub is good because it allows us to share the models that we've captured and to get comments back, and we don't all have to be in the same room, it can be remote and over time."
 

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."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"It would be beneficial to have a defined leveling or hierarchy system to facilitate better understanding and analysis. More openness and flexibility would enhance its capabilities."
"The licensing model could be better."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us."
"It is sometimes difficult to find the match between what is possible and what is wanted, or what is helpful with the product, so better documentation may assist in this regard."
"We would like a better way to give users the correct permissions for processes, whether to view or design."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The licensing model is good."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"The solution is expensive."
