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."
"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."
"Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"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 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."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"I have done a lot of modeling over quite a number of years, and I think that the modeling capabilities in Signavio are state of the art."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly."
"I love the collaboration function, especially the option to invite people who don't have any users on the licenses."
"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."
"Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model."
"The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process."
"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."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"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."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
"I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed."
"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."
"It's very user-orientated, which is why I gave it a high rating, even if it is not perfect in every corner."
"There are a lot of challenges with Process Manager. For example, we wanted to create a process map from an Excel sheet, but Signavio doesn't have that capability. I have raised this issue with Signavio support, but it is one of the bottlenecks we are currently facing."
"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."
"Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously."
