Jaideep MS - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Provides a complete workflow from testing to production and can handle a million concurrent requests
The user interface is very good. Once you understand it, it's easy to define rules and do any configurations. It comes with an embedded WebLogic application server, which you have to deploy automatically. Once you run the given binary, it will automatically keep everything on the backend. You'll have to create an instant database, and maintain or manage it based on the rules engine. After that, your system is ready to test. 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. Throughout the testing, everything was good. Many customers are interested in the rules engine. A lot of requests pass through BPM because it's integrated with a lot of other applications or sub-applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"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 Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"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

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing model is good."
"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."
