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 has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"It has good integrations. We were looking for out-of-the-box integration with both on-prem and publicly accessible data sources. We needed integration with the cloud, OData, our REST API feed, and then on-prem passthrough to go to a SQL database or on-prem APIs through Azure local deployment, etc."
"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."
"Write to Data Store Entity - Saving data in SQL databases is done easily using entities. Entities (CDTs in Appian terminology) define relationships and target schema tables via XSD files."
"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 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."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."
"It is easy and cheap."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The support is good."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"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."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"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."
