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

"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"It is easy and cheap."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"It's easy and fast. It's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes. You just have to send them a URL and to have a process in front of them. I don't use all of the possibilities we have in Signavio. This has made it easier for people to adopt, because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process. They are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves. There are many more interactions between the process teams and Signavio than in our previous solution, where you had to hire in a professional process modeler. It's been a great improvement."
"The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."
"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."
"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."
"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."
"The collaboration hub, which helps us in terms of being able to communicate with our customers, brings everybody into the tool and close to the process, allowing them to comment and to implement their own processes."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
 

Cons

"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be beneficial to have a defined leveling or hierarchy system to facilitate better understanding and analysis. More openness and flexibility would enhance its capabilities."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."
"The solution is complex."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"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."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
