Facilitates process integration across departments but requires better pricing and broader feature adoption
The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization. I see that it is integrated with other ERPs. If you integrate it with human HRMS workflow management, then it will provide integration with HRMS for Oracle E-Business Suite and for process analytics and business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"Oracle BPM is easy to use for both the business and developers, and Oracle BPM's tool for service and application integration is the best on the market to accomplish this."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations, and the solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
 

Cons

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The technical support for Oracle BPM isn't very good. You'll face a lot of challenges with support."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"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 should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure and requires some experience to use it."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Regarding the Process Analytics feature, which features are you referring to?"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"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."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
