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

"OpenText 360 for SharePoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing me to monitor and manage projects and task issues using mobile devices."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
 

Cons

"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"It has a reasonable price."
"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."
"The licensing model is good."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."

We have been using ELMA BPM (http://www.elma-bpm.com/), and it also does not require programming to model and execute processes. Yes, for complicated custom features you will need additional scripts but that isn't generally a problem. Plus, there are KPI management options as well as CRM and ECM modules included, all working well with processes. Project Management is available too although I w...
