Oracle BPM Suite vs. SAP Analytics Cloud

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.

SAP Analytics Cloud is best suitable for companies using SAP S4HANA because built-in models are available to populate the data. LIVE data is synchronized to reflect real-time performance of organization and its single source of truth across the organization. Visualizations are upto the mark although learning curve is bit steep. SAP Analytics Cloud is suitable for almost all industry types supported by SAP S4HANA. We are simulating different scenarios to take better long term and tactical decisions.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Possibility of more advanced scripting for data transformation without analytics designer
• Provision to consider rate types from TCURR in SAC and should be able to write FX conversion logic considering rate types
• Read data directly from BW by reading aDSOs backend tables

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

SAP Analytical Cloud is providing all the features that I can do reports in an interactive way along with Predictive analysis. The latest updates from SAP also helps to fulfill the market needs in reporting.

Not easy to debug errors.

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is generally considered to be user-friendly and easy to use. It has an intuitive interface with a drag-and-drop functionality that makes it easy to create reports and charts, even for those who are new to the platform.

Since the implementation stage, the support team has been very helpful and assisting. Even in the later stages, the tech team had quite a rapid response. In general, SAP has provided us with great customer support, let it be for a specific product of SAP or for integration of different modules.

Good videos and reference material available in SAP Portal.

Overall satisfactory

SAC is a simple solution ad it works fine when connecting it to other SAP tools. On the other hand, connecting it to third party solutions brings difficulties when there's no previous design and the objetives are not clear. It is really important to integrate Business users from the start to provide with valuable business insights

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.

Service Now governance risk and compliance suite, ServiceNow vulnerability management suite, or Other vulnerability management tools like Qualys, InsightSecCloud, or Tenable have specific cases to create and evaluate, but what we want is to change every day with vulnerability and product because some vulnerabilities really impact us and some are like nothing so dealing it with great analytics are good to have.

• 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.

Incentivized

• SAP has enabled us with better visibility into our Revenue from different sources and location.
• SAP has given good ROI as it has helped us in expansion, thus helped in more revenues.
• SAP is really costly, Our ROI should have been more better if we have got some functionality in the same price.
