We performed a comparison between IBM BPM, Oracle SOA Suite, and Windows Process Activation Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The most valuable feature is the ability to customize your rules and put them inside the tool."
"We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"It is efficient in reducing costs."
"They have some quick-win programs that are designed to come in, they'll bring a developer in and they'll work with your developer to get you started. That's what we did and that worked really great. We got an understanding of the product, we got an understanding of how to deploy the product. And when we were done with that engagement, we were off and running."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"It helps improve your process through continual measurement."
"It has reduced a lot of manual errors and processes."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"The integration with various products."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the central console, that allows you to see all of the activated and deactivated computers."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"The solution can improve integration with SAP, CRM, and Salesforce, which is not capital-intensive."
"We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM."
"It is not user-friendly."
"The debugging needs improvement. There is some confusion surrounding the debugging."
"The initial setup was complex."
"This is technology, and there's always room for improvement. It would be better to have a single solution. Trying to have an overview in terms of this solution brings together the concepts of BPM processes, customer journeys, and an automation part for KPIs. All of this working together and coming up with a single solution with privacy is more commercial than anything else."
"IBM BPM integrated with Spark UI and the UI is now much better, but they still need to improve the UI because competitors have predefined templates and other additional features. In these competitor's solutions, you are able to use the templates, map your data, and the form is ready to use. With this solution, you need to write a lot of code to have the same quality as the competitor's templates. It would be a benefit to make this platform more towards low-code or no-code."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"Its function options can be improved."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"SOA"
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
