We performed a comparison between Appian and Oracle BPM 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."The solution's most valuable features are the regular periodic and quarterly updates, they are very useful updates. They keep improving the solution more often, and that helps the platform or code always be up to date with the latest features."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"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."
"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."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"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."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"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."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
