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

"We built solutions based on this product in pretty much all domains, from retail to banking and finance, communications and utilities, and various industries (namely, the aerospace industry), as well as public sector, from applications, which deal mainly with approval processes and auditing needs, to a full blown Service Management ERP for a large retailer."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
 

Cons

"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Oracle BPM should ensure its product is aligned with current technology by keeping up with advancements like AI."
"Although it is a robust product, its learning curve can be steep without having the proper training and mentoring on the first project."
"Technical support is an Achilles' heel for all Oracle products, and this is no exception. It takes forever (several months) to have an issue resolved."
"Support for Decision Modelling Notation (DMN). There is a Business Rule Engine available, but this is not DMN-compatible."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure and requires some experience to use it."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"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 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."
"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 licensing model is good."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"We have a yearly license."
