    Oracle
    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.

    Well-suited for a single SAP landscape. less well-suited for businesses with a more diverse landscape, or complex/non-standard reporting or e-invoicing needs.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • 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.

    Support at times is slow in finding the right component or processor but once you get the right person you can get help pretty quickly with resolutions. Support will not be there for any customization you may have done/had to do on the product.

    Implementation for reporting in general is quite straightforward. Implementation for e-invoicing definitely for new territories is more difficult especially in cases of integration required.

    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.

    Coverage is similar: integration for e-invoicing is simpler for DRC, Edicom, and Pagero, which more fully manage tax authority integration, which is vital for ongoing compliance.

    Return on Investment
    Oracle
    • 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.
