We performed a comparison between ARIS BPA 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."you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them."
"ARIS process modeling and analysis allows integration of end-to-end business processes with the organization's vision, strategies, and business objectives, through visual management."
"It helps the business make an informed decision."
"The simulation engine and SAP integration are technically very robust."
"It has the ability to scale up, as well as integrate with other systems within the organization to get real-time information from dashboards and reports."
"If you ever tried to draw a picture in a browser app or with a cloud service, it is normally a painful death. ARIS works perfectly on diagrams in the browser, so I was excited. I like it because there have been so many bad experiences in the past with drawing or doing something in a browser. Normally, it's always painful because it's coded badly. With ARIS, it is really well-implemented. It's simple."
"The solution provides integrations to ServiceNow and other systems, flexibility of connectivity, and reporting."
"The most valuable features are business process modeling and reporting."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The support is good."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The model graphics can be exported in PDF, but the model is too small to read."
"The Risk and Compliance Management tool is rather complex and moreover, it needs to be customized if you want to use it."
"Newer versions (9.x) are technically more difficult to maintain."
"While the dashboarding solution for integrating all kinds of process-related information from company sources other than ARIS is getting ever better, my personal wish would be to have a module that is more targeted to an Agile implementation of some modeled processes (model–to-execute)."
"The product is difficult to use for someone without prior knowledge of working with it. It requires a certain level of administration training."
"Simulation is one area that is a bit complex."
"I could use more icons and other graphical elements."
"The reporting capabilities and the ability to create custom reports need to be simplified and made easy so that people even with a good functional understanding of the tool can leverage it to create their own custom report."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
