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 application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"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."
"SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"The most valuable features of Appian are workflow management and the ease with which you can build the UI."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"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 has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"Occasionally, certain pre-made modules may not be necessary and customers may desire greater customization options. Instead of being limited to pre-designed features, they may prefer a more flexible version that allows for greater customization."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"The UI of Appian is more internal. Recently, there has been an addition of an external user portal for the customer-facing stuff. It's still coming out."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"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."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
