We performed a comparison between Appian and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."In terms of interface, it's very good. In terms of infrastructure, it's amazing and already using multiple tools behind the scenes. It's a low-code platform, so it's very easy to implement."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"The most valuable feature is business automation."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that the software controls everything from a single management window."
"The tool is very simple and intuitive to use."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"The main feature I find crucial in MEGA HOPEX is the catalog view, which provides a comprehensive visualization of all artifacts in one repository. Another valuable aspect is the availability of out-of-the-box outcomes, such as strategy maps and BPA models, eliminating the need for additional configuration. MEGA HOPEX allows users to focus on specific business areas, like risk management or data governance, providing a high-level overview while enabling deep dives into specific areas of interest. For risk management, MEGA HOPEX allows users to assess impacts, create recovery plans, and track action plans."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reuse of common enterprise components and entities."
"Customer support is fantastic. They are very helpful whenever we get on the line with the support team."
"I find the IT portfolio management very valuable and helpful."
"The solution itself was easy to use."
"There are some restrictions with respect to using external components within Appian. So, for example, if we do not have a particular feature available, there's a long cycle of getting approvals and all of that. That does not offer flexibility, which definitely can be improved on."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"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."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"The initial setup can be quite complex at first."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"It takes a long time to learn how to use HOPEX. It's hard to work with it because the user interface is bad. For example, if you want to build a complex system diagram, you need a lot of knowledge to do this correctly and make it readable. In MEGA, you need to create a report and it takes a long time to publish it. The publishing is offline. With RDoC, everything is online."
"There could be continuous AI enhancements for the platform."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
