We performed a comparison between Appian and WorkFusion based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"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."
"The process models provide self-documenting systems."
"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."
"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements. This has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."
"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."
"In our opinion this group are the leaders in providing RPA solutions."
"WorkFusion's SAP integrations are really good."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"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 documentation needs to be improved."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate them a 6. That's not low - that 60%. But as I said, it needs to be upgraded and modified."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"There could be better version control through their web platform. That is something that could be improved on. Integration from the IDE, e.g., from WorkFusion Studio directly into Control Tower, would be nice to have too."
