"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work.""It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require.""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.""Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes.""I find the data lineage features most valuable.""One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive.""The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."

Cons
"ARIS BPA is not really a platform that offers you the opportunity to execute processes that you model.""​Training is one of the important aspects for process awareness. As soon as a process is rolled out, process training is required. If ARIS could generate output in PowerPoint, it would be great for business users.""ARIS BPA’s usability could be improved.""Create simple data uploader.""The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed.""It would be helpful if ARIS BPA could have a simple database to get the extract of various attributes.""Regarding stability, when there are any customized settings being done at customer end - post upgrade to newer versions - it makes the customer environment unstable for a short duration.""The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems.""Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses.""Pricing is an area that could use improvement.""Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations.""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.""Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart.""It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
