Our biggest issue with Oracle BPEL is that it is a monolith. Because it's a monolith, everybody tries to consume its services in a shared infrastructure. Because of this, some companies are trying to migrate to a microservice architecture. We use API gateways to get around these issues. If you want an orchestrator with BPEL and you have an API gateway with a layer of services, you can combine both technologies and try to get the best of both worlds. In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers.

It depends on your needs. Oracle BPEL is suitable for enterprise-wide systems. However, if you're building something smaller or don't know precisely what you need, it's better to start with something smaller. Oracle is a comprehensive bundle, and buying it exclusively for Oracle BPEL doesn't make sense. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

I'm a consultant. I do architecting, designing, and development. I have used two versions, 1.1 and 2.0. I’m unsure about the prices because I oversee the development and implementation. I'll highly recommend the product depending on an organization’s requirements. As someone who has worked with BPEL for 13 years, I highly recommend the product for an on-premise or hybrid integration. Multiple products or alternate solutions have come into the integration domain. However, the product has been in the industry from SOA 11g to SOA 12c and OIC. Though there are multiple competitors, the product has been here for a long time and has been helping multiple customers improve their business. Overall, I rate the solution a nine or nine and a half out of ten.

Valuable Features

"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."
"The solution is very seamless and fast."
"The product has everything we need."

Room for Improvement

"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."
"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."
"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."
