Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"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."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"The tool is very flexible."
"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 most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."
"Documentum is a highly scalable document management solution because it's built on a solid platform."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"There is no UI customization possible."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"It is difficult to set up the on-premise version."
"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."
"They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."
"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
