We performed a comparison between IBM BPM 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."The Process Designer is good. We like how we can drag and drop and link the processes up, that works out great for us."
"It has an elaborated way to explore the IBM BPM processes."
"By automating several tasks, we have already reduced a lot of work for the business."
"The installation was straightforward."
"IBM BPM's most valuable features are its speed in implementing and providing any changes."
"This is one of the best tools to support the business and the way we work, and the numerous processes we need to implement."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy. I would give it a nine out of ten."
"I think the best way it can be it improved, is to make it easier to install. It's a very complicated piece of software, and there are a lot of things you have to do to get it set up. It's not just running an installer. You install WebSphere. You install the BPM product, and there's a large host of other steps you have to do: run queries against the database, you have to manually configure a bunch of properties files for your environment. I think if they could streamline all that, so it wasn't a considerable effort to install, that would be very useful. Because from an engineering point of view, you want to spend as little time as possible actually installing a product."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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 Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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 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 initial setup is straightforward."
"They don't have a mechanism to achieve processes, data sources, and data."
"The front end is not customised for a good user experience."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"IBM BPM's UI is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The initial setup was complex."
"It's a bit technical, related to the instance of migrations. It's a tough thing to handle, in every new release, in every upgrade, that we have to do things in the applications or in the product. I think IBM is working on it but I know there are a lot of requests coming in from different organizations on this."
"All our clients are changing to microservice and cloud service. However, BPM does not have a solution for microservice and cloud service."
"IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build."
"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."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
