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)."The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"Process Modeling enables creation of business process workflows. You can create complex business workflows in a visual manner, and it is also easy to debug/monitor."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"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."
"It's a stable product."
"SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"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."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"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."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"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."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"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."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
