Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"I find the BPM the most valuable feature."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"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."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"Write to Data Store Entity - Saving data in SQL databases is done easily using entities. Entities (CDTs in Appian terminology) define relationships and target schema tables via XSD files."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"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."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"Lacks business rules management as part of the solution."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"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."
"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."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"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."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"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."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
