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 most valuable feature is business automation."
"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."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"It has created executable requirements and speeds up the SDLC process greatly."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The support is good."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"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."
"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."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"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."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"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 would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
