We moved to BPM from Outlook flow for approvals and the difference was tremendous. Having one place to see all processes and their statuses, adding reminders for overdue tasks, escalation, and delegation was really making a difference at that time.,Modeling business processes - it is providing an interface where users can drag and drop many kinds of shapes to build a business process.
HumanTask - I consider this as being the key strength of Oracle BPM. It allows you to create approval flows in different ways and it manages the long-running processes (while waiting for people to interact with the flow).
The user-interface for user tasks - it is one place where you can see all tasks and their progress. Admins can see and interact with other people's tasks.,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.,4,When we moved to Oracle BPM many years ago, it was a huge uplift for our business processes because we didn't have any tool to model flows except Outlook and Excel.
We established and streamlined the manufacturing workflows that were needed with the growth of the business.
We discovered after a while that the ROI was not great since along with the cost of the tools, we had to account the cost of development from the software team too. It took a lot of time to deliver our first automations due to the big learning curve needed for Oracle BPM.,Not a member of any user groups,Dell Boomi,NetSuite CRM+, Microsoft System Center Configuration ManagerCristian BodnarasecOracle BPM Suite - Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in your business processes2018-12-20T21:35:54.342ZIt is a terrific tool, but it needs to be wielded by employees with a certain level of expertise in general IT experience. Personnel throughout the enterprise can learn more about processes within their own business of which they were not aware before purchasing this product. It can point out bottlenecks as well as highlighting processes that are performing spectacularly.,It can easily integrate with other Oracle products and even 3rd party software via adapters
It scales quite well and can handle the biggest enterprise level solutions we throw at it
The ability to use previous requirements as templates is invaluable,Again, it takes a decent amount of IT knowledge to realize the full potential of the Oracle BPM Suite
It can tend to feel sluggish unless you slightly exceed the minimum system requirements
There are so many features that it can be difficult to know which ones to use and which ones not to use in a given situation,7,It has allowed us to pinpoint bottlenecks within our organization, thereby enabling us to streamline and improve the overall business process.
Allows us to rapidly prototype processes for the end user who can visually evaluate and approve them.
We had to invest a little more into upgrading our existing hardware than was initially projected, but the performance benefits outweighed the overage.,Eastern States Oracle Applications Users Group

The BPMN notation opens up a channel of common understanding between our engineers and the engineers of our clients. Quite apart from the Oracle BPM capabilities for diagramming business flows, the tool allows the use of real-time analytics to impress our clients.,Business flows under the BPMN 2 notation.
Real-time Analytics
Import flows from Oracle databases,Internal documentation
The price may be higher than other similar tools
Lack of support to import from non-Oracle databases,8,Documenting a flow to a client allows communicating the intention of a development and thereby minimizing changes that could delay the calendar.
Simulating macro processes allows you to visualize at an early stage the figures of a project in order to better manage resources.,Bizagi and IBM Rational RequisitePro,Bizagi Digital Business Platform, IBM Rational RequisiteProMiguel Angel Merino VegaOracle BPM Suite - Boon or Bane?2017-11-13T18:44:11.021ZWe've implemented BPM solution for a very large client who uses multiple Oracle Cloud and On-premise applications including but not limited to Cloud HCM, Cloud Finance, Cloud procurement, Cloud Sales and Planning & Budgeting. Because of BPM Suite's extreme complexity and non-user friendliness, it is currently being used only as a pilot for HCM. The purpose of using BPM Suite is to identify the redundant and inefficient processes and streamline it for better overall efficiency.,Capacity to integrate well into a whole lot of apps and databases
The studio is quite helpful to configure the business processes especially if it's a standard flow. The drag and drop, although quite buggy, is good.,Extremely complicated to work with. The WYSIWYG is of no help either since it very buggy and poorly designed. If you are a business or functional user, you will have a hard time using the application.
The Oracle's "Using" and "Implementing" guides are nearly useless with no examples and case studies and there is no documentation available to learn or understand the process.
Very few skilled developers are available in market who really understand how to implement Oracle BPM suite.,3,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.,Not a member of any user groups,IBM Rational RequisiteProVerified UserOracle BPM 11g: Model Complex Processes With Drag-And-Drop Simplicity2015-09-24T14:21:26.993ZOracle BPM is being used to evaluate expediting the existing processes of describing and programming modifications and enhancements to our Oracle system by modeling the processes instead. Currently only the Human Resources Information Systems department is using Oracle BPM, both because it's being evaluated and because only a few people have received training and know how to use it. However, if the pilot is successful, BPM is expected to be more widely used in the future.,Oracle BPM is particularly strong at drawing and modeling business processes with drag-and-drop tools,It's a very complex piece of software and documentation is poor. Examples and explanations appear to be non-existent.,6,We've been able to successfully model and implement a process to automate the flow of documents and signatures required to justify the movements of positions, a process that had become increasingly complex, requiring ten signatures in a specific order depending on various conditions. The solution will save us at least one full-time employee and a still unknown but significant amount of time, as well as drastically reducing the potential for error.,Galen Mosier
