"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."
"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."
"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 stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Technical support has been amazing overall."
"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 solution provides extensive functionalities."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 could improve by being more responsive when dealing with large quantities of data. Additionally, they can make the decision or rules engine better. It cannot handle too many rules or too many decisions at once."
"The tool itself is pretty good, but the main area that we struggled with was the backend. The frontend development is really good, but the backend modeling can be streamlined a little bit. There are good integrations, but tying them through the data layer and then up into the frontend could be improved a little bit. It does read/write on the data source, and you can configure it to just write or just read, but there is a little bit of work involved."
"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"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."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
