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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape, and we have had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"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."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
 

Cons

"Although it is a robust product, its learning curve can be steep without having the proper training and mentoring on the first project."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
"Support for Decision Modelling Notation (DMN). There is a Business Rule Engine available, but this is not DMN-compatible."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"Regarding the Process Analytics feature, which features are you referring to?"
"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."
"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 pricing is very expensive."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"We have a yearly license."
