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."Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"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."
"This is the most complete solution of its kind."
"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."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"The product has a very good mobile app."
"With low-code, we don't need a lot of coding, and then from the plumbing perspective, there is a complete CI/CD pipeline that exists within Appian that can be leveraged for open deployment."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"It is easy and cheap."
"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 solution provides extensive functionalities."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The support is good."
"The UI of Appian is more internal. Recently, there has been an addition of an external user portal for the customer-facing stuff. It's still coming out."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"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 is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"There is no UI customization possible."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
