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."Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"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."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"Technical support has been amazing overall."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"The initial setup is easy."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The support is good."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"There are four areas I believe Appian could improve in. The first is a seamless contact center integration. Appian does not have a contact center feature. The second is advanced features in RPA. The third would be chatbot and email bot integration—while Appian comes with chatbot and email bot, it's not as mature as it should be, compared to the competition. The fourth area would be next best action, since there is not much of this sort of feature in Appian. These are all features which competitors' products have, and in a mature manner, whereas Appian lacks on these four areas. I see customers who are moving from Appian to Pega because these features are not in Appian."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"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."
"It would be useful if they could create an academy or forum in the future to help active users answer questions they have about the solution."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
