Oracle BPM vs webMethods.io comparison

"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."

"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."

"I find the data lineage features most valuable."

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"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."

"The solution provides extensive functionalities."

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."

"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."

"The product is very stable."

"The tool helps us to streamline data integration. Its BPM is very strong and powerful. The solution helps us manage digital transformation."

"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."

"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."

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

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."

"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."

"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."

"You have to maintain it manually."

"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."

"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."

"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."

"The deployment should be simplified."

"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."

"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."

"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."

"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."

"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

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

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."

"The pricing is very expensive."

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

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

"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."

"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 model is good."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
