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."
"Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"It's a stable product."
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"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."
"It has good integrations. We were looking for out-of-the-box integration with both on-prem and publicly accessible data sources. We needed integration with the cloud, OData, our REST API feed, and then on-prem passthrough to go to a SQL database or on-prem APIs through Azure local deployment, etc."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution provides extensive functionalities."
"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 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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The support is good."
"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 solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"There are four areas I believe Appian could improve in. The first is a seamless contact center integration. Appian does not have a contact center feature. The second is advanced features in RPA. The third would be chatbot and email bot integration—while Appian comes with chatbot and email bot, it's not as mature as it should be, compared to the competition. The fourth area would be next best action, since there is not much of this sort of feature in Appian. These are all features which competitors' products have, and in a mature manner, whereas Appian lacks on these four areas. I see customers who are moving from Appian to Pega because these features are not in Appian."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"It would be useful if they could create an academy or forum in the future to help active users answer questions they have about the solution."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"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."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"You have to maintain it manually."
