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."There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"The most valuable features of Appian are workflow management and the ease with which you can build the UI."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"Low code development: Code can be developed pretty quickly which leads to less turnaround time for automation of business processes."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"A complete business project management suite which seems to open endless possibility."
"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager is very responsive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need."
"Process Manager supports end-to-end transformation. Students can better understand end-to-end activity and processes as well as how they are run. For teaching, it's process discovery, then modeling, and finally optimization and simulation, partly. Typically, we showcase some simulation of the processes, and this is where we finish. That is why we validate that it's properly designed, but also what are the outcomes of modeled processes. There are also options for discussion on process optimization."
"I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us."
"It is a stable solution."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"There should be more flexibility for the developers to choose the look and feel of the UI. They should have a better ability to design their widgets and customize them with different colors, shapes, and sizes. That is a limitation that could be improved upon."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"The price can be made cheaper."
"For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"It is not easy to learn the product."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution."
"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."
"Signavio Process Manager needs to have an integrated document management system to better work with processes that rely heavily on documents and document flows."
