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."With low-code, we don't need a lot of coding, and then from the plumbing perspective, there is a complete CI/CD pipeline that exists within Appian that can be leveraged for open deployment."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"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."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"The most valuable features of Appian are workflow management and the ease with which you can build the UI."
"Write to Data Store Entity - Saving data in SQL databases is done easily using entities. Entities (CDTs in Appian terminology) define relationships and target schema tables via XSD files."
"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"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 support is good."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"It is easy and cheap."
"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."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"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."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"Lacks business rules management as part of the solution."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
