Appian is fast when building simple to medium solutions. This solution offers simple drag-and-drop functionality with easy plug-and-play options. The initial setup was seamless and very easy to implement. It provides real-time data with all connected systems and relates how well they are functioning together throughout the workflows. They also have a very good mobile app.
Camunda allows for visual demonstration and presentation of business process flows. The flexible Java-based option was a big win for us and allows for the integration of microservices very quickly. This solution is very stable with a free open-source version that is very good. The automation of this solution is great.
Appian is not as flexible as some other options and does not integrate well with the Microsoft ecosystem and other products. Appian is not very user-friendly; the tutorials and other training tools could be better. Their support response could be improved to improve productivity and reduce downtime.
Camunda can be challenging regarding the initial setup. It seems to take a long time for completed workflows to be implemented on the Camunda Platform. The learning curve for this solution can be very steep. A mobile app would be a welcome enhancement to this solution. Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved and better template options would be welcomed.
