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

"Oracle BPM is a whole development platform (stack) used to create your BPM application."
"Overall, it is a very good platform."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The database access feature is valuable for us."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"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."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure and requires some experience to use it."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"Oracle BPM should ensure its product is aligned with current technology by keeping up with advancements like AI."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"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."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"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 very expensive."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"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."
"We have a yearly license."
