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."Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"The setup is easy."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"The most valuable features of Appian are the VPN engine, it is fast, lightweight, and easy to set up business rules. Business teams can do it by themselves. That is a very good feature."
"The Application Designer is very user friendly. There are also lot of plug-ins that you can use and, for the most part, they are free."
"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."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The tool itself is pretty good, but the main area that we struggled with was the backend. The frontend development is really good, but the backend modeling can be streamlined a little bit. There are good integrations, but tying them through the data layer and then up into the frontend could be improved a little bit. It does read/write on the data source, and you can configure it to just write or just read, but there is a little bit of work involved."
"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"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."
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"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."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
