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."Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"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."
"It has created executable requirements and speeds up the SDLC process greatly."
"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."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"The process models provide self-documenting systems."
"With low-code, we don't need a lot of coding, and then from the plumbing perspective, there is a complete CI/CD pipeline that exists within Appian that can be leveraged for open deployment."
"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."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"The support is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"It is easy and cheap."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"There could be a scope of enhancement for capturing the variety of use cases."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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."
