Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful tool for business process management integration and a straightforward setup
Oracle BPM is used as a tool integrated into another system. It helps in business process management and the generation of reports, predominantly at the end of the month For any new deployment of any system, it helps in improving some efficiencies, which is the reason for having the system. It…

Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."
"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the portal for spreading it over the organization, the usability, and the workflow generator in the background."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is a good solution that can be used in various organizations."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."
"The product's pricing could be improved."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."
"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."
"I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this."
"Signavio already offers a wonderful range of functions. If variant management and customer journeys are optimized, Signavio can definitely bask in the glory of BPM tools. We also see optimization potential in the management of licenses, e.g. no named users but rather floating licenses and integration into the company's active directory."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"It is expensive. The license is monthly."
