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 product has a very good mobile app."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"The product's most valuable feature is the low code aspect of development. We can develop an end-to-end VPN solution using a single platform."
"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"The low code functionality and being able to get applications faster to customers or to the market are valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It provides us with real-time data on all connected systems in terms of how they're integrated with each other and how they are performing in a workflow manner."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"While Appian is generally flexible, it's rigid in some ways. It takes longer to do something that isn't available out of the box."
"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."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"There should be more flexibility for the developers to choose the look and feel of the UI. They should have a better ability to design their widgets and customize them with different colors, shapes, and sizes. That is a limitation that could be improved upon."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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 product must reduce its cost."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"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 could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"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."
