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."IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to customize your rules and put them inside the tool."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution has streamlined our operation and improved the TAT of sales, operations, and underwriters."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"It helps maintain, and in many instances, lower costs, as well as to maintain those costs, keeping them stable."
"The most valuable feature of IBM BPM is the low code design, and ease of maintenance. Additionally, the integration is good and easy to do."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"You must have good experience to work with it. It is not that easy. Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved. It has a safety application embedded inside it, and you need to do a lot of configuration to install it. I have been working for two days to resolve an issue."
"IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build."
"We are a government organization, and we are the largest government power sector in India. We generate around 30% of power in India. Therefore, our processes are quite complex. Although IBM BPM is a low-code or no-code software, if you want to have extremely complex workflows, just the business process diagrams are not helpful in creating those workflows. While implementing complex workflows, only the process flow diagrams did not help us. We had to write a lot of Java scripts and Java queries to achieve what we wanted. Its integration capabilities with the SAP environment have to be improved. At present, we are only talking at the web services environment level. Its price also needs to be improved. It is currently expensive. Previously, Active Directory required a heterogeneous environment, but now they want a homogeneous environment. We had onboarded employees through Microsoft Active Directory, and now I have to implement Microsoft AD only from the cloud for my vendors."
"I would like to see a lot more case studies."
"The business would like to use the product with a lot less IT and equipment involvement."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"The interface is limited and should improve in the future."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
