Low-code Prog: The Best Way To Digitalize Your Life
- The culture of data decentralization in millions of files is to end with Appian apps.
- Company processes tracking is enabled with Appian solutions.
- Interactive reports to analyze business data.
- Web page to centralize communication with users, incidents, resources, etc.
- The standard cloud database still has a little bit of an unfriendly interface but it is true that we use our own databases.
- Besides, process diagrams and coding interface experience are improvable (there are some process flow functions missed like for or while loops).
- Robot process automation and AI & ML functionalities are improvable in terms of user interface and functionalities.

Appian in a Nutshell
- Work-flow management.

Appian is very supportable
- Process Models - they error in the background and the user does not know and support can fix it at a later time without the user having an issue.
- Support - I have had a good experience with Appian support responding in a timely manner.
- It's a Platform as a Service so the database, code, and application are all available through the same portal.
- It would be good to be able to capture data as an expression from the process modeler rather than the 'Raw' format with square brackets.
- Version Control that supports branching.
- Ability to see the state of child interfaces in the designer.
