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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"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."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The support is good."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The licensing model is good."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"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."
"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 licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
"It is worth the cost."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
