SatyajitSethy - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Gavin Beckett - PeerSpot reviewer
Design studio enables effective automation while licensing needs improvement
I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors. Having this capability could accelerate the process. The delivery methodology felt somewhat waterfall in style and not sufficiently agile. Additionally, the licensing model was somewhat prohibitive. It was not developed in a consumption-based manner, however, rather in a fixed-price licensing model that did not account for volumes.

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."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"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."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
 

Cons

"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The pricing is very 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."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
