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

"Oracle BPM provides a good return on investment, and most customers see benefits within six months to a year."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The database access feature is valuable for us."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
 

Cons

"Oracle BPM should ensure its product is aligned with current technology by keeping up with advancements like AI."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Oracle BPM has a lack of vision and is very complex to develop and maintain."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Support for Decision Modelling Notation (DMN). There is a Business Rule Engine available, but this is not DMN-compatible."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure and requires some experience to use it."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is good."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
