Peek Platform versus traditional BPM and low-code suites
Products such as Pega, Appian and ServiceNow App Engine define the category most buyers will compare us with. This page sets out where Peek is different, where it is similar, and where a traditional suite may still be the better fit.
How to read the tables. The Peek column describes capabilities implemented in the platform today. The comparison column describes the category in general terms; individual products vary. A check means the capability is standard, a dash means it varies by product or depends on configuration or add-ons, and a cross means it is not part of the usual offering. Verify against current vendor documentation before making decisions.
- Standard
- Varies by product
- Not usually offered
Part 1
Model and lifecycle
How the application is defined, versioned and deployed.
| Capability | Peek Platform | Traditional BPM / low-code suites |
|---|---|---|
Single versioned application model Data model, workflows, rules, pages, personas, automations and integrations live in one model with immutable versions. | ||
Deterministic compiler and digest Compile the same version twice and get the same runtime and the same digest. | ||
Sandbox and published versions side by side Each application keeps a sandbox version and a published version; publishing is an explicit, audited step. | ||
Roll forward and back Every version is retained, so a publish can be reverted to a known-good model. | ||
Model-level test cases Rules and workflows carry test cases that run against the model before publishing. |
Part 2
Governed AI
What the assistant is allowed to do, and who decides.
| Capability | Peek Platform | Traditional BPM / low-code suites |
|---|---|---|
AI proposals with approval gates Every Sigma output is a proposal that a permitted person accepts or rejects. | ||
Blueprint from a prompt Describe a programme and receive a reviewable model patch, constrained to the certified component registry. | ||
Citations on answers and summaries Answers and summaries cite the records and fields they rely on. | ||
Per-tenant AI token budgets Daily token budgets are enforced per workspace and metered into the usage ledger. | ||
AI decisions recorded in the audit ledger Proposal, approval and rejection are each written to the hash-chained ledger. |
Part 3
Starting points
How quickly a team reaches a working application.
| Capability | Peek Platform | Traditional BPM / low-code suites |
|---|---|---|
Certified solution packs Complete, compilable applications for intake, casework, contracts, quality review, assurance, records and more. | ||
Recorded lineage Each pack states the pilot programmes it was distilled from. | ||
Ghost data per persona Realistic synthetic records generated from the model for sandbox preview. | ||
Certified component registry Typed, validated components for layout, data, work queues, records, forms, AI panels and audit. |
Part 4
Trust and operations
Isolation, auditability and how usage is measured.
| Capability | Peek Platform | Traditional BPM / low-code suites |
|---|---|---|
Row-level tenant isolation, continuously verified An automated isolation suite exercises cross-tenant access paths. | ||
Hash-chained audit ledger Tamper-evident, verifiable from the console, exportable on Enterprise. | ||
Metered usage ledger Records, runs, automations and tokens are metered and inspectable per application. | ||
Usage-based rather than per-seat No named-user licences; plans are based on capability and usage. | ||
OIDC single sign-on with domain enforcement Bring your identity provider; restrict sign-in to verified email domains. | ||
Custom domains with automated TLS Publish on your own hostname with guided DNS verification. |
Fit
When each option makes sense
We would rather you choose well than choose us. Here is how we think about fit.
Choose Peek Platform when
- You run casework, intake, contracts, quality review, assurance or records programmes and want a certified starting point rather than a blank canvas.
- You need AI assistance but your governance requires a human decision on every change to the model or to a record.
- You must be able to prove isolation, audit integrity and exactly which version of an application is running.
- You prefer usage-based plans to per-named-user licensing.
- You want to publish on your own domain quickly, with SSO, and without a large implementation team.
A traditional suite may fit better when
- You have already standardised on a suite and have a certified implementation partner and licence agreement in place.
- You need a very large catalogue of pre-built third-party connectors or a specific certified integration that Peek does not yet offer.
- Your requirements depend on specific accreditations or hosting arrangements that Peek has not yet completed; ask us about our roadmap.
- You rely on features Peek has not built yet, such as publishing your own modules to a public marketplace.
