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 Application Designer is very user friendly. There are also lot of plug-ins that you can use and, for the most part, they are free."
"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"The most valuable features of Appian are workflow management and the ease with which you can build the UI."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"Low code development: Code can be developed pretty quickly which leads to less turnaround time for automation of business processes."
"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."
"The tool is very flexible."
"The product's most valuable feature is the low code aspect of development. We can develop an end-to-end VPN solution using a single platform."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"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."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"It is easy and cheap."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"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."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"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 time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
