We performed a comparison between AWS Step Functions 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."AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The number of historical events is great."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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 support is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"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."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"You have to maintain it manually."
