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

"It is easy and cheap."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"Process Manager supports end-to-end transformation. Students can better understand end-to-end activity and processes as well as how they are run. For teaching, it's process discovery, then modeling, and finally optimization and simulation, partly. Typically, we showcase some simulation of the processes, and this is where we finish. That is why we validate that it's properly designed, but also what are the outcomes of modeled processes. There are also options for discussion on process optimization."
"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."
"The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the portal for spreading it over the organization, the usability, and the workflow generator in the background."
"I use SAP Signavio Process Manager to model processes to the former operating model."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."
 

Cons

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"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."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."
"The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."
"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."
"I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this."
"It could use a better user interface, one that is more efficient."
