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."Low code development: Code can be developed pretty quickly which leads to less turnaround time for automation of business processes."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"We appreciate the drag and drop functionality and the easy to access plug and play features."
"Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"The tech support is quite good."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"I find the BPM the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is easy and cheap."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"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."
"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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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."
"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 biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"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."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"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."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"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."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
