Oracle BPM vs webMethods.io comparison

"The support is good."

"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 quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."

"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."

"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."

"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a stable solution."

"The stability is good."

"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."

"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."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."

"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."

"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."

"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 learning curve is a little steep at first."

"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."

"It could be more user-friendly."

"The product must add more compatible connectors."

"The price has room for improvement."

"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."

"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."

"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."

"The pricing is very 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 licensing model is good."

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"It's pried high, this solution is 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."

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"It is worth the cost."

"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."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
