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 tech support is quite good."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"Appian helps you do a lot of things. It's easy to configure and build an application platform, and it offers a lot of features that you find in an RPA solution. It's flexible so you can reuse it for a variety of use cases."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"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 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."
"The tool is very flexible."
"The setup is easy."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"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."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"There should be more flexibility for the developers to choose the look and feel of the UI. They should have a better ability to design their widgets and customize them with different colors, shapes, and sizes. That is a limitation that could be improved upon."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
