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."Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"Low code development: Code can be developed pretty quickly which leads to less turnaround time for automation of business processes."
"SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"Technical support is helpful."
"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 product has a very good mobile app."
"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."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"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 processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"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 default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"Occasionally, certain pre-made modules may not be necessary and customers may desire greater customization options. Instead of being limited to pre-designed features, they may prefer a more flexible version that allows for greater customization."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"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."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"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."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"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."
