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."Technical support has been amazing overall."
"It's a stable product."
"The most valuable features of Appian are the VPN engine, it is fast, lightweight, and easy to set up business rules. Business teams can do it by themselves. That is a very good feature."
"The tech support is quite good."
"Process Modeling enables creation of business process workflows. You can create complex business workflows in a visual manner, and it is also easy to debug/monitor."
"The solution's most valuable features are the regular periodic and quarterly updates, they are very useful updates. They keep improving the solution more often, and that helps the platform or code always be up to date with the latest features."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its 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."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"It is easy and cheap."
"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."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"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."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"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."
"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."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
