We performed a comparison between Appian and Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management 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."With low-code, we don't need a lot of coding, and then from the plumbing perspective, there is a complete CI/CD pipeline that exists within Appian that can be leveraged for open deployment."
"It's heavy on business processing in terms of logic, process workflows, and primarily on the process design modeler. Appian is really great at that. In terms of the full stack set from a low-code platform perspective, it's definitely an eye opener since it can be deployed via mobile app and on the web as well."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"I find the BPM the most valuable feature."
"The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"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 product has a very good mobile app."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"There are four areas I believe Appian could improve in. The first is a seamless contact center integration. Appian does not have a contact center feature. The second is advanced features in RPA. The third would be chatbot and email bot integration—while Appian comes with chatbot and email bot, it's not as mature as it should be, compared to the competition. The fourth area would be next best action, since there is not much of this sort of feature in Appian. These are all features which competitors' products have, and in a mature manner, whereas Appian lacks on these four areas. I see customers who are moving from Appian to Pega because these features are not in Appian."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"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 would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
