Appian vs Mendix

• I have observed after version 17.1 we have a lot of good features in Appian that improve usability (UX). This adds real value in this competitive Digital space.
• You can understand business use case and convert it to a logical process automation.
• Process Modeller has improved a lot and providing smart services use adds more value.
• Service integration helps us to seamlessly integrate with third-party systems

• Fast. Build solutions in days instead of weeks. Mendix is an ideal tool for really making SCRUM work. Iterate fast and develop features fast. And if it does not work as intended you can adapt quickly.
• Open. The customer is the owner of the data so it should be easy to get data in or out. Mendix shines in this area. You can use Mendix to become the oil between the other information systems. Extract from one system, enrich the data and export it to another system.
• Mobile. Making the product available on a phone or tablet is a must these days. With Mendix you can do this.

• We had such a short timeframe for implementing the prototype that we did not get an opportunity to explore the drag and drop business process modelling functionality - this is available in the Appian product, and would enable low code development, but I can't really comment on how good it is.

• Document templates. These are a weak point. Creating them takes too much time compared to how fast you can build other stuff in Mendix. You can achieve your goals but it will take you some time.
• The Mendix license cost is something to be considered. For small companies the license cost can be steep if the free version is too limited for your goal. The step from the free version to the paid version is too steep in my opinion.

• Appian is agood workflow tool and solves many problems, but for us the main challenge is to train people. So, there should be more support from Appian's side to make learning easy.
• Appian study videos also should have more examples. I do not see any examples, they just talk about the theory. Now I am seeing some of the newer videos which are better.
• Appian should work on training videos more, and should provide more support to the community.

• Without Mendix we could not have been where we are now. A development platform as Mendix can make the difference in a constantly changing environment.
• Upgrading to newer versions of Mendix is a breeze when you stay within a main version (e.g. M6.x to Mx6.x+1) and even between versions (Mx5 to Mx6) most of the time it is no problem at all and there are only minor changes needed to upgrade.
• Learning Mendix is simple. Just start playing with it and see for yourself how easy it is and feel the joy of developing applications.
