Oracle BPM vs webMethods.io comparison

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

"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."

"I find the data lineage features most valuable."

"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."

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."

"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 has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."

"The solution provides extensive functionalities."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."

"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."

"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."

"The solution is scalable."

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."

"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."

"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."

"The solution's licensing cost is very high."

"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."

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

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

"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."

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

"The solution's release management feature could be better."

"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"The learning curve is a little steep at first."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."

"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."

"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."

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

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."

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

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

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

"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."

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

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."

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

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
