We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow 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."Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"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."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The best feature is the customization."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The support is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."
"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 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."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"Airflow should support the dynamic drag creation."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
