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."Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"Low code development: Code can be developed pretty quickly which leads to less turnaround time for automation of business processes."
"Technical support has been amazing overall."
"The setup is easy."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"I find the BPM the most valuable feature."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The support is good."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"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 room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"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."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
