Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

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

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"OpenText MBPM is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"The support is good."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"Oracle BPM is a whole development platform (stack) used to create your BPM application."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Oracle BPM has a lack of vision and is very complex to develop and maintain."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"Although it is a robust product, its learning curve can be steep without having the proper training and mentoring on the first project."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
"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 model is good."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
