We performed a comparison between AWS Step Functions 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 solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"The number of historical events is great."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"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 solution provides extensive functionalities."
"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."
"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."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"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."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
"The product must reduce its cost."
