We performed a comparison between Appian and Newgen OmniFlow 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."Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"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."
"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."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"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 process models provide self-documenting systems."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"There is no UI customization possible."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"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."
"The UI of Appian is more internal. Recently, there has been an addition of an external user portal for the customer-facing stuff. It's still coming out."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
