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."The user interface for monitoring and managing workflows has been excellent, particularly in the latest version. c"
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"The product is stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"It is easy and cheap."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"The support is good."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
