Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Oracle BPM and SAP Signavio Process Manager compete in the business process management category. Based on feature comparisons, Oracle BPM may be more suitable for developers due to its integration tools and comprehensive solution, while SAP Signavio stands out for its user-friendly collaboration capabilities, making it ideal for business-centric users.

Features: Oracle BPM offers excellent integration with databases and applications, supporting BPMN 2.0 for effective dynamic and static process management. It is appreciated for its ease of use, rich out-of-the-box features, and compliance with industry standards. SAP Signavio Process Manager excels with its simple interface, strong business process modeling capabilities, and the collaborative features of the Collaboration Hub, which enhance transparency and user collaboration.

Room for Improvement: Oracle BPM could improve its complex tools such as ADF, enhance user interfaces, and offer process mining and discovery. SAP Signavio Process Manager could enhance its collaborative functions, improve integration with process intelligence, and better support non-English languages. Competitive pricing is also a concern for some users.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle BPM offers on-premises deployment options, appealing to businesses desiring control but adding complexity. Customer service feedback is mixed. SAP Signavio Process Manager offers flexible deployment across public and private clouds, supporting hybrid IT environments. Users value its responsive customer service but suggest improvements for complex technical support queries.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle BPM's high pricing and complex licensing, especially on virtualized platforms, can be a barrier, though users see ROI benefits in sectors like government. SAP Signavio Process Manager has varied pricing, yet is considered expensive by some, particularly after joining SAP. Despite this, its business process harmonization provides efficiency gains, making it a valuable investment for larger enterprises.

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

"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."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

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

"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."

"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."

"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."

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

"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."

More Oracle BPM pros

"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."

"This solution is innovative and simple to use."

"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."

"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"It's easy and fast. It's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes. You just have to send them a URL and to have a process in front of them. I don't use all of the possibilities we have in Signavio. This has made it easier for people to adopt, because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process. They are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves. There are many more interactions between the process teams and Signavio than in our previous solution, where you had to hire in a professional process modeler. It's been a great improvement."

"It is a very scalable solution."

Cons

"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."

"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."

"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."

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

"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."

"You have to maintain it manually."

"The product must reduce its cost."

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

More Oracle BPM cons

"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."

"There is a lot of room for improvement. We've submitted a lot of OSS requests for special inputs we need, like glossary or dictionary entries in Quick Model. Currently, that's not functional."

"It is difficult to quickly digest the vast power of the suite and make use of those capabilities fully."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."

"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. This is running on the process server and providing some kind of low-code environment for developing business solutions. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in. Specifically, the execution of processes is missing, where you would design forms to take orders. This is typically part of some development environment for the process server to run processes from out of the models."

"If you start from scratch then I think this product would be ideal, but if you already have something then it may or may not suit you."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"The licensing model is good."

"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 pricing is very expensive."

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

"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."

More Oracle BPM pricing and cost advice

"This solution provides really great value for the money."

"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."

"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."

"The solution is expensive."

"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."

"The product is expensive."

"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."
