"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"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."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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."
"The UI of Appian is more internal. Recently, there has been an addition of an external user portal for the customer-facing stuff. It's still coming out."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"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."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"There are some restrictions with respect to using external components within Appian. So, for example, if we do not have a particular feature available, there's a long cycle of getting approvals and all of that. That does not offer flexibility, which definitely can be improved on."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"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 solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"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."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
