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 it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"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 solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"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."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
