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

"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."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"It is easy and cheap."
"I rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"The Signavio tool is very easy to use and it is one of the reasons why I like it."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."
"It is a stable solution."
"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."
"This functionality ("invite anyone for feedback") has substantially increased visibility over work-in-progress when it comes to process modelling and overall process management and it decreased the time spent on giving and receiving feedback through emails and through sharing screenshots/.ppt files/Visio files etc."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
 

Cons

"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."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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 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."
"The product's pricing could be improved."
"The user administration, the user-group administration, and the license models need improvement."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"From what I have experienced when I worked with a process team, we would like to work with dummy process diagrams. Right now, I don't know if I would set up a process as a dummy, since it very often gets mixed up with diagrams in production. There are many process diagrams linked to the production environment. I would like to have some kind of sandbox to work with. That would be very good. I don't even know if they already have it, but I would certainly like that."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."
"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."
"The licensing model could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is good."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"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 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 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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"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 product is expensive."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
