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.

Good visual representation for modelling and business process mapping but room for improvement in reporting functionalities

There is room for improvement in analytics. People don't realize it, but the world has changed in the last six to eight months. Customers want to see AI like ChatGPT and ML capabilities in all aspects of business processes and reporting. That would be my recommendation for any OEM in this value chain. Reporting could definitely be improved. I would like to see new features in analytics. I like that they analyze the process and give it to me visually, but I'd like the option to use DPMM instead of just DPC. I'd also like the option to have the process map laid out top to bottom instead of horizontally. Especially a choice between DPMN and EPC as a format. Because there are some people who are very comfortable with the EPC notation. The process is very clearly event-driven. There's an event, there's an action. It's very simple to understand. BPMN, which is the most popular business process notation, generally tends to have multiple frames. Actually, in multiple swimlanes rather. And those frames could each represent a particular kind of entity. Maybe it's an action, maybe it's an actor, maybe it's an event. So there are two different ways of notation. I just like Signavio to give us the ability to choose that notation. Because some companies use BPMN and some use the EPC. And then, if the minute you make that change, I'd like them to give us the flexibility of having an already plotted or vertically plotted option. Moreover, I would like to see improvement in the visual part. It's the piece that needs improvement. Currently, you can plot the diagram horizontally or vertically. However, I'd like the option to change the way the diagram is created, like switching between different notations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."

"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."

"The solution provides extensive functionalities."

"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."

"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 Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

More Oracle BPM pros

"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."

"The benefit of this application is that I can immediately describe processes and form normative documents for these processes. For me, this is definitely a plus. Сurrently, I work in a company that is not involved in the structural alignment of business processes. They have huge gaps in this. Nothing is described and there are no norms. Therefore, the formation of regulatory documents, rules, and descriptions of processes, not only in graphic form, but also in documentary form is an absolute plus. I have not found this in other process programs."

"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."

"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."

"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."

Cons

"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."

"The product must reduce its cost."

"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."

"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."

"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"You have to maintain it manually."

More Oracle BPM cons

"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."

"I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas."

"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high."

"It is sometimes difficult to find the match between what is possible and what is wanted, or what is helpful with the product, so better documentation may assist in this regard."

"I think the intuitive handling is an issue which they should be more focused on, especially as we have issues with the glossary. If you want to implement Signavio within procedures in contact with other software, it's quite difficult to integrate and you will have several points where you have to double and triple the work, because you cannot maintain the data centrally. With other solutions, we can integrate it and have only one data transfer, to import and export with other solutions. A glossary is still limiting us."

"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."

"From what I have experienced when I worked with a process team, we would like to work with dummy process diagrams. Right now, I don't know if I would set up a process as a dummy, since it very often gets mixed up with diagrams in production. There are many process diagrams linked to the production environment. I would like to have some kind of sandbox to work with. That would be very good. I don't even know if they already have it, but I would certainly like that."

"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

"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."

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"The licensing model is good."

"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."

More Oracle BPM pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The product is expensive."
