    Go Anywhere is perfect for moving data between systems. It is great for pulling data and emailing it or sending it to another server. However, Go Anywhere is limited as an ETL tool. It is not good for large datasets. When we had to move millions of rows from one server to another, it totally choked.

    Oracle BPM is well suited to organizations and environments that have a good understanding of their business processes and organizational structures. Trying to introduce a tool such as Oracle BPM into the organization without a good grasp on how the business operates is a recipe for disaster as the implementation will uncover all of the dirty secrets of an organizations business processes and bring them to light. BPM is not to be utilized for smaller service orchestrations or technical service implementations, these should be handled by the Oracle SOA Suite using the BPEL process manager, leaving BPM to handle the organizational business processes, referring to and including lower level services and BPEL processes as needed.

    Pros
    Fortra
    • For an FTP server it is robust but very easy to use and configure.
    • For a project manager for file transfers, it allows you to do nearly anything, from simple file move to file rename, move, zip, and create a new folder location to drop the file in.
    • GoAnywhere has a gateway device that allows for securing the traffic coming from outside your network in without exposing too much of your network.

    • Oracle BPM [Suite] can support unlimited number of cases. No limitations in cases raised.
    • Oracle Weblogic can handle multiple traffic. [It] can handle lots of heavy load[s].
    • Oracle BPM has extensive integration with database[s]. Huge number[s] of customization can be created.

    Cons
    Fortra
    • In the beginning, when implementing, it can take a while to understand how it works thoroughly.
    • Due to the added abilities learning to configure the software can take some time.
    • Training for this product will cost extra. The training is also not excellent.
    • The software seems glitchy at times, sometimes being slow or corrupting jobs.

    • Oracle BPM is left behind by other tools more modern in terms of user experience, usability and ability to integrate with everything else.
    • To really harvest the potential of Oracle BPM you need to do it in JDeveloper and with ADF. This restricts its usage to very technical people.
    • The administration of the Oracle BPM tools has really put a burden on our team. It is running on Weblogic and we experience issues very often either with performance or with a bad configuration of the system.
    • As with all Oracle products, the price can be an issue for smaller shops.

    In many scenarios it should have provided more features. It took a lot of effort while debugging, making it difficult to maintain.

    They would help us to identify the problem and provide a solution every time. Support also will answer questions about what the application can do and how, and it would allow you to submit enhancements requests for consideration to be included in future versions.

    Implementation was straight forward. We paid for 50 hours of professional service in case, we need help. We end using only 10 hours. I have only 1 month to convert over 120 scripts from FTP voyager to goanywhere. Old script was had written using bat files. Some of the batch file were written by some other person, who passed away. Documents for old script was not in details. With the professional service, I was able to convert all script within windows

    At the time we were evaluating a managed file transfer system, we initially looked at Ipswitch. It did not have a web based interface and the overall price was extremely higher than GA MFT. The solutions offered by GA MFT were significantly more attractive for our needs as an organization.

    We evaluated Bonita and found that it might fit a smaller-sized company better; we found that Oracle BPM Suite scaled much more evenly. We almost went with one of the competitors, but in the end chose Oracle BPM Suite after we factored in the cost of VMware licensing. There are literally tons of analytics on the back end which are great for upper management, but not so much for average users, but this fits our business model quite well.

    Return on Investment
    Fortra
    • GA has made life easier for our employees. Many processes that used to take a lot of time are now automated or semi-automated using GA.
    • GA has helped our IT team be far more productive. It would take weeks to put together code that we can do in GA in a day or less.

    • You'll most certainly need a deep dive and extensive training before your users can even think of using the product and they are very expensive.
    • Lack of documentation makes it very difficult to manage the application if any error is encountered which will result in you ending up hiring a dedicated person to look into the application once it's deployed.
    • For a very large org., if properly implemented and used, it can help identify the cost-intensive and inefficient processes.
