We performed a comparison between Appian and Tungsten TotalAgility based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Appian are the VPN engine, it is fast, lightweight, and easy to set up business rules. Business teams can do it by themselves. That is a very good feature."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Sometimes, clients expect us to implement ERP using Appian, which is very complicated. In such cases, I don't believe that Appian is a good tool for that."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"There are some restrictions with respect to using external components within Appian. So, for example, if we do not have a particular feature available, there's a long cycle of getting approvals and all of that. That does not offer flexibility, which definitely can be improved on."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"The tool itself is pretty good, but the main area that we struggled with was the backend. The frontend development is really good, but the backend modeling can be streamlined a little bit. There are good integrations, but tying them through the data layer and then up into the frontend could be improved a little bit. It does read/write on the data source, and you can configure it to just write or just read, but there is a little bit of work involved."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
