Intapp Conflicts vs. Oracle BPM Suite

Intapp is great for storing your conflicts database and files associated with matters. I find that its user interface is really friendly. I have yet to see an analyst that does not quickly learn how it functions. Going through files can be a little bit more onerous because the way they are listed and naming conventions can vary, but overall I find it a very helpful tool for running conflicts

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.

• Allows for easy review of conflicts within the database
• Has a very friendly user interface
• Easy ability to communicate with downstream teams and local offices
• Customizable searches with search parameters (default settings)

• 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.

Incentivized

• Dark Mode option would make for a friendlier user experience
• Being able to paste outside information directly from copying (i.e., do not have to use a notepad to avoid formatting issues)
• An easily accessible user guide (one click access)

Incentivized

• 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.

Not easy to debug errors.

Overall satisfactory

I have only ever used Intapp in the law firm setting. My only other experience is using legal and research search engines, which do not fit within the realm of Intapp per se.

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.

Incentivized

• It helps reduce risk to our firm
• It has allowed us to have the forms we use be interconnected, so we avoid wasting time on submission of separate forms
• The report we have now also allows Partners to review conflicts on their own even without us providing a summary (helpful for afterhours for the Partners)

Incentivized

• 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.
