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 setup is easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"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."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"This is the most complete solution of its kind."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"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 support is good."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"There are four areas I believe Appian could improve in. The first is a seamless contact center integration. Appian does not have a contact center feature. The second is advanced features in RPA. The third would be chatbot and email bot integration—while Appian comes with chatbot and email bot, it's not as mature as it should be, compared to the competition. The fourth area would be next best action, since there is not much of this sort of feature in Appian. These are all features which competitors' products have, and in a mature manner, whereas Appian lacks on these four areas. I see customers who are moving from Appian to Pega because these features are not in Appian."
"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."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
