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 low code functionality and being able to get applications faster to customers or to the market are valuable."
"Technical support is helpful."
"This is the most complete solution of its kind."
"The tech support is quite good."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"The process models provide self-documenting systems."
"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."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"The support is good."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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."
"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."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"There could be a scope of enhancement for capturing the variety of use cases."
"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."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You have to maintain it manually."
