Flexible in terms of how the UI assists users working in a variety of roles
Our initial setup was complex because we are guaranteed to have approximately two thousand concurrent users. We began first with a couple of servers, then after a couple of years, as we saw that the usage was going up, we grew both horizontally and vertically. We have a pretty big team here, with fifteen huge processes. I would say that from a development perspective, building one complex process will take a couple of developers, and an additional person is required to exclusively handle the support. There are many factors to it. In our organization, we need 24/7 support because we have trade finances that work in the middle of the night. We require additional support to accommodate people working in shifts. If change requests come in then one developer may be able to handle three processes. In the case of a new requirement, there is normally one developer who works with the team leader that is monitoring the entire setup.

Enables robust integration capabilities, facilitating seamless connection with various systems and applications
We utilized Oracle BPM to automate various administrative processes within our organization, specifically focusing on eliminating paper-based workflows related to licensing procedures in our environment. Oracle BPM enabled collaboration between our IT and business teams for effective process management. Utilizing the Oracle VPN, we experienced significant improvements in process efficiency. For instance, a process that previously took forty days before implementation was reduced to just twenty minutes after implementing Oracle BPM. This remarkable reduction in time demonstrates the substantial benefits brought about by the solution. The solution is comprehensive, encompassing modeling, implementation, and runtime capabilities. Additionally, by leveraging this platform, we seamlessly integrated Oracle Portal and Oracle Document Management, providing a complete solution within the Oracle ecosystem. The integration capabilities of Oracle BPM with other systems significantly influenced our workflow. Our workflow was impacted positively by these integrations. Initially, we utilized Oracle BPM alongside other Oracle products such as Oracle Context Manager, Oracle Portal, and Oracle Document Management. Despite using multiple products, they are seamlessly integrated, providing a comprehensive solution for our clients. This solution encompassed document management, workflow control, process execution, and automation, effectively streamlining processes and eliminating bureaucratic hurdles. The transparency and efficiency achieved through this integrated approach were highly beneficial for our clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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."
"The support is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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."
 

Cons

"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The licensing model is good."
