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."The most valuable feature is business automation."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"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."
"The tech support is quite good."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"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."
"I know that there are two good features, APN and ServiceNow but we haven't explored all of its features yet."
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"There isn't any human touch involved. It's just an automated business process to build different applications and talking to various APIs using the client's ecosystems. We then build new functionalities out of it."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"The solution could use some more tutorials to help brand new users figure out how to use the product effectively."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"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."
"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."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"I need to have some insight into the tool's cloud capabilities."
"We haven't had many technical issues. We don't use all of the components of the tool that are more complex and error-prone."
