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.

Pros

"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"Regarding the Process Analytics feature, which features are you referring to?"
"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."
"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

"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."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We have a yearly license."
