We performed a comparison between Appian and Bizagi 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."Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"It has good integrations. We were looking for out-of-the-box integration with both on-prem and publicly accessible data sources. We needed integration with the cloud, OData, our REST API feed, and then on-prem passthrough to go to a SQL database or on-prem APIs through Azure local deployment, etc."
"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"The initial setup was seamless. We didn't run into any hardships at all."
"The most valuable feature is business automation."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"The low code functionality and being able to get applications faster to customers or to the market are valuable."
"Appian's most valuable features are the quick time it takes to develop for the market. It's easy and faster than other BPM solutions."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"Your team can work on it having basic training about databases and BPM modeling."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"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."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible 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."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"While Appian is generally flexible, it's rigid in some ways. It takes longer to do something that isn't available out of the box."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"One thing that I don't like very much is related to integration: we have to develop some connectors... I would need a connector that connects to a REST service and that uses client ID in secret... They provide the means to develop a connector and use it, but they should implement this because REST services are among the most used protocols for web services."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"Framework approach, which extends to reusability in tools, like Pega, for deployment management could be improved."
"There could be more documentation."
"It is difficult to drive ROI on types of processes involving complex business rules."
