We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and Oracle BPEL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation 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."
"Our customers use the solution as a workflow platform to manage their processes."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"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."
"It is a very powerful solution."
"Agility is the key. It gives our customers a faster way to be able to implement processes, get ownership of task, visibility into a process. The ability to modify that process, optimize that process over time, is probably the biggest benefit that they get from the software."
"It is a stale solution."
"Its Analytics is the most valuable feature."
"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."
"The product has everything we need."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"The debugging needs improvement. There is some confusion surrounding the debugging."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"Finding errors and bugs on the system is not easy. We can't seem to use the events or logs to find them, so it makes it difficult to debug the system. They really need to work on their debugging features to make is much, much easier. It would improve the solution considerably and should be something they add in a future release."
"UI is an area with a shortcoming that needs improvement."
"Could increase vulnerability and security patches to make it more robust."
"Importing and exporting between multiple environments is more difficult with other tools."
"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."
