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."Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"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."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"In terms of interface, it's very good. In terms of infrastructure, it's amazing and already using multiple tools behind the scenes. It's a low-code platform, so it's very easy to implement."
"The tool is very flexible."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"It is easy and cheap."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"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 Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The support is good."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"It would be useful if they could create an academy or forum in the future to help active users answer questions they have about the solution."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"Sometimes, clients expect us to implement ERP using Appian, which is very complicated. In such cases, I don't believe that Appian is a good tool for that."
"Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"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."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
