We performed a comparison between Appian and Bizagi 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."Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"It provides us with real-time data on all connected systems in terms of how they're integrated with each other and how they are performing in a workflow manner."
"We appreciate the drag and drop functionality and the easy to access plug and play features."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"I like the integration part, and I also like how they use the database, such as the data when they implement all the data side, and how you can easily integrate it with their widgets."
"Agility is most valuable because we can develop so much faster than other tools. We can make requirements, develop, and go out to production much faster. So, agility in the software cycle is most valuable."
"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"The main feature of Bizagi is the speed to which we can automate processes and how we can modify them without a strong impact on the end users."
"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"There should be more flexibility for the developers to choose the look and feel of the UI. They should have a better ability to design their widgets and customize them with different colors, shapes, and sizes. That is a limitation that could be improved upon."
"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"The tool is expensive and it should improve its pricing."
"The solution was very limited."
"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."
"The product must make automation easier."
