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."It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"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."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"The process models provide self-documenting systems."
"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."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The support is good."
"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."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"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."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"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."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"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."
"While Appian is generally flexible, it's rigid in some ways. It takes longer to do something that isn't available out of the box."
"There could be a scope of enhancement for capturing the variety of use cases."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
