I use Oracle BPM.

The advice I would give to anyone who wants to implement Oracle BPM is that if you have a BPM background and you know how to use BPM solutions, it won't be that difficult to use Oracle BPM, especially because it has out-of-the-box features. If Oracle BPM comes with a middleware SOA solution, you can go ahead and integrate it with a lot of services. If you have an Oracle Fusion Middleware environment and you have other SOA-related services going on, you'll find it easier to implement and use Oracle BPM.

My rating for Oracle BPM is seven out of ten. It's a seven for me because the UI of the solution needs improvement. For example, if you have human tasks, you'll have to develop a UI, so the UI technology, particularly ADF in Oracle BPM, is very heavy, plus the learning curve is very high. This is why nowadays, my team uses Angular together with Oracle BPM Worklist services. From the perspective of SOAP services, Oracle BPM is good, but in terms of REST services, the solution isn't that good, so my team decided to implement SOAP.

If you go for the out-of-the-box REST services, a lot doesn't seem to work properly, plus the documentation also fails, and there's not much support. If you go with other SOAP services, Oracle BPM is fine, and you can use it out of the box for the Worklist services then you can integrate it with the pages that you develop or with Angular or some other light UI solution. ADF is very heavy, and overall, Oracle BPM is heavy because it comes with a lot of components.

My company has a platinum partnership with Oracle.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would recommend using the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because it's mainly the pricing. 

I rate this solution a six out of ten. Regarding advice, anyone using Oracle BPM needs to have experienced employees.

If you are working with data and data flows and you have data or business glossaries, I highly recommend the solution. I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.

So far, it is doing well, but then market trends are shifting and digitalization is coming. More likely messaging mechanisms, microservices, and faster development cycles are needed. Faster development operations with development paradigms are forcing this. Maybe cognization of the product according to a recent trends on the market would be good.

Be aware of market trends. The shift coming over from the business side is a strong factor. This is so we can develop faster products and have quicker order management. It is important to know about the business requirements.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: 

• Its support is most important.
• Its popularity in the market, especially in my country. This is important, so you can hire skilled people for the tool. Otherwise, you have to go to vendor or extend your company integrators for skills. People who have development know-how is a major criteria in the market. IBM and Oracle products are popular on the market because we can easily find developers and administrators for these two vendors.

Apart from the existing solutions, we also had the option to have our own custom workflow for development. We are partners. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I rate Oracle BPM a nine out of ten. I would definitely recommend Oracle BPM to others. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. I would give it this rating because it's stable and it's well integrated with the Oracle platform but there is always room for improvement. 

My advice for anybody who is considering this system is that if they have a good and knowledgable team to support them then they can depend on Oracle. However, if they want to learn this product, for example by going to Oracle university, and then go into production, they are going to be disappointed very soon. As soon as the system reaches a large number of users, everything changes. No information that they get from Oracle university will help them. The only thing that can help is experience and a deep understanding of the environment. Finding a problem may require going beyond the BPM and deep into the database.

This is a product that you can count on. It is an enterprise-level solution that is suitable for very large BPM, and it fits well with the Diagramo system.

When it comes to maturity, this is suitable for an enterprise and I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. Other solutions, such as Camunda, may not fit all of the needs of an enterprise. On the other hand, for stability and high availability, I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Overall, I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

This is a solution with many features that work really well. It is stable. Oracle misjudged how users will use this product and are trying to fix it using Oracle Process Cloud. I would advise others to look for a cloud version if possible.

Oracle BPM will require you to do a lot of development. If you don't have a strong team of developers and administrators, I would not recommend this solution. It is a complex and very powerful solution for people who know what they're doing.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I am interested in the open-source BPM with official support. When we need the BPM, we prefer to use this approach. 

We would use this open-source BPM based on budget and the scale and the number of transactions per second, we would decide if we need professional support or rely on community support.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Collecting requirements and being clear what is needed is key to creating a scalable, robust, and future-oriented environment.

Oracle BPM Suite can be used to automate parts of a company's business processes to increase operational efficiency. In addition, the high-level business processes and KPIs, which are important for specific processes, can be documented. But, without a clear, integrated service architecture, BPM cannot be implemented successfully. You have to think about your processes, on the one hand, and on the needed functionalities provided as Services, based on data from the backend systems.

To ensure robustness and easy changeability of the developed services and components, my recommendation is to set up a Continuous Integration (CI) environment as a first step in every project.

The CI environment is the central platform for automated test executions as well as for deployment automation and is needed to ensure development efficiency and agility with respect to changes in existing components.

As a last point, I would like to mention that BPM Suite needs a proper operation concept. It is essential to maintain the platform. You should also think of retention times for the runtime data and which information needs to be kept, e.g., to comply with legal regulations.

When starting a project, get at least one super-experienced consultant to draft your architecture and project plan. Once you have the vertical slice, you can replicate it for the different processes you need.

We use the on-premises deployment model and work with various versions of the solution.

For customers with an already existing market footprint, I'd recommend the solution. For those that don't, I'd suggest Cloud Pack Automation.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Get a few guys very good an Oracle’s application server suite of products, namely WebLogic, as well as good Oracle DBAs. They will ensure very good platform health and no technical issues with the product.

Evaluate any other solutions first. Oracle BPM has a lack of vision and is very complex to develop and maintain. Support is also very expensive.
