Sounds like a strong product, but thought this comment - "the vendor lacks a full-fledged business-oriented simulation solution" - was a bit vague, and they seemed to use that to limit the target customer base. Interesting comment also in the context of your recent discussions on simulation. Hope you are considering adding Appian to your BPMS Report series. Certainly not in quite the same category as webMethods, but they did well in the previous BPM Forrester Wave and Gartner Magic Quadrant. Just read Forrester’s write-up on webMethods.
