Pros

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

The frequently used capabilities are very strong. It's quite simple to create basic tasks or connections to other systems.

Cons

There is an improvement required for Reporting part.
UX can also improve such as in consideration of some CMS system. Sometimes business usually compares the UX with some CMS systems like SharePoint.
Tableau or any other visualization tool integration is Key to provide Single customer View.

Based on 55 answers

In general, the Support team respond quickly and are knowledgeable and helpful. Account Management has been good and we have recently had an onsite visit from an Appian Architect and Account Manager to discuss Appian in the Cloud. Follow up from this meeting has been good with further information and pricing information received on a timely basis.

Alternatives Considered

As a matter of fact, I was not part of the selection process when Appian was selected for SADIE project. Appian was selected because of its quick application development capability. I heard - someone from the 3rd party development company mentioned - that anything can be built between 4-6 months (of course, enough time and adequate resource availability are factors to consider).

Return on Investment

Greatly reduced cycle time of processing cellular site requests for service using the business process management toolset.
Ease of use of software has reduced time it takes to make changes in the processes supported by the Appian toolset versus our in-house IT development.
