A highly scalable solution that provides various features for the execution of business processes

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."

"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."

"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."

"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."

"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."

"The solution is very seamless and fast."

"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."

"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."

"The product has everything we need."

Cons

"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."

"The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."

"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."

"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."

"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."

"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."

"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."

"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."

"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."

"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."

"The product is moderately priced."

"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."
