excentia Admin Tools for Jira vs. Oracle BPM Suite

Admin Tools for Jira is the most widely used tool for software development tracking but I don't think it's friendly to use, especially for product managers. I wish there was more investment being made around time saving activities, progress updates, automations. We want to minimise admin and improve throughput for engineers and product people but doesn't seem like Admin Tools for Jira is moving quickly in this front.

Oracle BPM is part of [the] Middleware SOA suite. Hence Oracle BPM can be directly installed with Oracle WebLogic. Oracle BPM comes with [a] standard out of the box portal. Recently Oracle has introduced another Web based portal to design processes. Standard Oracle BPM workflows can be created using the Jdeveloper. Deploying BPM apps are easy to deploy over Weblogic. All features with Weblogic can be utilized with Oracle BPM. Oracle BPM is [a] standard Middleware product and can make excellent front end applications.

• It can easily integrate with other Oracle products and even 3rd party software via adapters
• It scales quite well and can handle the biggest enterprise level solutions we throw at it
• The ability to use previous requirements as templates is invaluable

• UI is not very user friendly
• It's hard to know where to find things unless you know it or have done detailed onboarding
• Too many clicks to be able to see what I need to see as a Product Manager

• Extremely complicated to work with. The WYSIWYG is of no help either since it very buggy and poorly designed. If you are a business or functional user, you will have a hard time using the application.
• The Oracle's "Using" and "Implementing" guides are nearly useless with no examples and case studies and there is no documentation available to learn or understand the process.
• Very few skilled developers are available in market who really understand how to implement Oracle BPM suite.

In many scenarios it should have provided more features. It took a lot of effort while debugging, making it difficult to maintain.

Great add on features to the existing tool. Could use more features like time tracking which is available on other tools.

Not easy to debug errors.

Overall satisfactory

I have had a minor interaction with AGILE Reporter but nothing compares to Admin Tools for Jira. its vast support and product integration with various product like Confluence and Bitbucket is very intuitive and easy to use. Any day, I will pick Admin Tools for Jira over any other product out there. Life has been easy since I have adopted Admin Tools for Jira.

All are fairly similar in capabilities, but the Oracle BPM Suite has good support for BPMN 2.0, integrates well with open standards and has an excellent design/development platform when compared to the other BPM vendors. The Oracle BPM Suite integrates well with the complimentary Oracle Fusion Middleware products that typically accompany a BPM implementation, making it a part of an overall well integrated solution set. Oracle BPM also has very good monitoring, reporting and analytics support built-in.

• No impact on numbers, however, it has made working on Jira easier for both admins and the users

• When we moved to Oracle BPM many years ago, it was a huge uplift for our business processes because we didn't have any tool to model flows except Outlook and Excel.
• We established and streamlined the manufacturing workflows that were needed with the growth of the business.
• We discovered after a while that the ROI was not great since along with the cost of the tools, we had to account the cost of development from the software team too. It took a lot of time to deliver our first automations due to the big learning curve needed for Oracle BPM.
