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

"The stability of the product is very good."
"I like that all the features come as part of a standard license and that one license covers everything."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"Overall, it is a very good platform."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself, as it is quite intuitive."
"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."
"The best part about this solution is that the feature set is complete."
"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 solution provides extensive functionalities."
"Oracle BPM provides a good return on investment, and most customers see benefits within six months to a year."
"Oracle BPM is a whole development platform (stack) used to create your BPM application."
 

Cons

"There are a number of drawbacks. Mainly, the collaboration is lacking to some extent - at least when it comes to how we are using it."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"My main complaint is that the solution is not open source in the sense that you can't have your own in-house developments."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
