We performed a comparison between AWS Step Functions and Oracle BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"The number of historical events is great."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
