Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"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."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
 

Cons

"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"Documentation can be improved."
"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"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 time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"We use the free version."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The licensing model is good."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
