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 to use in a business processing suite."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 licensing model is good."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"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."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
