Read full review 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.

Read full review 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. Read full review Cons For heavy load, the performance should be improved The integration with the messaging system is a bit tricky and hence example documentation could be provided It is a very nice and powerful tool however still not very known, marketing needs to be improved Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew IBM Cloud Pak provides modernization in collecting, organizing and analyzing data.

Read full review 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.
Read full review Return on Investment Quick to automate repetitive tasks and finish them with speed and accuracy hence saving time and operational cost. Bots are life saviours because they are able to learn fast without feeding any information most of the manual work is done accurately and diligently. Reduce human errors by reducing how we manually input data into all our business processes. Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
