Chose Appian
Appian stands out when it comes to low code development and easy to use and develop platform. It helps developers and business to meet the users requirements within no time with equal efficiency.
Appian's pricing model and co-selling is more interesting than that of Power platform. We used Appian because of its better case management and the learning curve is also not that huge. Power platform says it is Low code no code but it still requires certain some coding …
I am a user of Appian, where we have a data connector application built in Appian that is integrated with various systems, and provide a summary in Appian UI. We as a user can initiate new requests to extract, Transform and Load data on a specific or selected system with just …
There are a lot of reasons to select Appian the first is low code. We can create various interactive data connectors applications also it is best in terms of security with an interactive user interface which makes it unique from the other platforms.
Have not used many BPM tools but we are using RPA to automate many technologies and business processes. We are also using Servicenow for incidents and change management.
Appian compares favorably with other vendors in the space. It is strongest with business workflow automation and to create custom business applications. The tool base for coding is extremely straightforward and allows for faster coding and deployment. Handles very complex …
It has reduced our time to market because of the feedback we got early on. The smooth movements and easy flow create a vast difference. The team gets ample time to innovate and increase performance. Tasks are well performed in sprints and ready to release with fewer errors and …
Java is much more customizable but it is also a lot more work developing apps and setting up infrastructure. Appian is much easier to learn and code in. Also, apps are able to be built much quicker. This helps when time and money are an issue.
In the BPM space, there are a few areas that IBM BPM gives the flexibility to integrate different systems. Whereas in Cloud space [through] Appian has picked up, there are lot of features that Salesforce provide can be put in Appian
I personally think Appian will win the discussion of pricing between itself and Microsoft Power Automate currently, but since I don't feel as though the average person would be able to learn how to automate processes on Appian, I have to give the nod to Microsoft Power Automate …
To be honest, I have not used any other software that is similar to Appian. I am used to just using raw code when it comes to creating an application. I find Appian very useful to use in this fast-paced industry, and when the client wishes to see the iteration of the project. …
I am not involved in evaluating different products. We have a specific team that is tasked with the responsibility of evaluating various products and choosing the one that is most appropriate for the organization. My team and I are the users of the products. Appian was the best …
We used custom BPM solutions in the past and find greater value in using Appian. I was not a part of the architecture team that reviewed other BPM solutions when Appian was selected.
Appian has a lesser learning curve than Pega. Pega uses a combination of directed and pattern inheritance and architects need to design bearing these in mind. While the intent behind this approach is to allow for reuse of rules to allow for efficient enterprise-wide design, …
Appian works great for automating manual processes and integrating multiple systems through its toolset. It gives great flexibility for establishing rules for approvals, routings, escalations, and the like. Because of the low code toolset, it's very easy to deploy and make changes as needed as processes evolve and as the organization learns to utilize the system better. Minimal maintenance is required to support the applications build on the platform. Some of the automated testing integration with tools like Jenkins is limited so that may be an issue for some.
Allows at a glance workflow documentation which assists in the need we have for information readiation.
Drag and drop interface for workflow development greatly speeds our apps time to market.
Using the advanced features of Appian, we are able to create working sites in a fraction of the time it would take to do so using "traditional" development.
Search issues when type ahead and database search are used in the same field.
Buttons implementation where user is require[d] to click on the button description - if clicks on the button outside that text - button will not work.
Problems with using certain off-the-shelf performance tools like WebLoad or Neoload. That is because of different dynamic variables being used internally in Appian - which these tools are unable to correlate. We are still investigating using other tools like Jmeter to overcome dynamic correlation problem for performance testing.
We recently renewed our license with Appian. We are convinced that its flexibility, relative ease of use, the support they provide, there mobile advancements and their general willingness and desire to see us succeed all contributed to our reason to renew our agreement with Appian
Appian is a low code environment, because of this, a very good visual interface is required. Appian is providing a feature-rich dashboard [that] we can use for building the dashboards and other interfaces. Appian also provides patches and releases to enhance these features. A developer can start off development just by going through a basic course from the Appian learning community.
Appian is one of the leading low code business automation platforms that support RPA, decision rules, case management, workflow automation, and machine learning all in a single bundle. But it is also harder to implement and replace the traditional business process.
As analyst I participated in a developer boot camp. At times it was hard to keep up but most of the time it made sense. Trainer took the time to explain and slowed pace down to answer questions etc.
Appian has enormously transformed and keeps on updating the product every quarter to meet the latest needs of the world with new innovations & technologies being integrated within the platform. What gives more pleasure than a product that keeps on continuous[ly] improv[ing]?
I believe it has negatively impacted our release dates. There may have been a misunderstanding as to the learning curve, even though it is "low code."
The look and feel of the applications created using Appian have uniformity and it's easier to have "reuse" between applications.
There is less developer control when it comes to features. I think this mainly has to do with the amount of plugins available. I would think there should be many more available plugins. But again, our use case is probably different than most others.
