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."It's a stable product."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"The setup is easy."
"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."
"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 initial setup was seamless. We didn't run into any hardships at all."
"Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"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."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"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."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"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."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"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."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Oracle BPM is hard to configure."
"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."
