Overall Satisfaction with Appian

In our organization, Appian is used by every employee across the whole organization including the interns so as to ease the internal processes starting from onboarding, leave requests, timesheet submission, and most of the business workflows that need approval.

Pros

  • Maintaining historical records.
  • Powerful reporting options.
  • Enhanced security handling.
  • Ease of maintenance & reusability of business workflows.
  • Better support with respect to product issues.
  • Capability to connect with multiple systems.
  • Capability to combine with RPA/ML/AI.

Cons

  • More site branding options.
  • It gave a positive impact on ROI by providing the business process metrics real-time to make sufficient actions.
Appian as a product gives good support on the queries/issues we have. But still, there is room for improvement to provide better & reliable support. I had both good & bad support experiences, but the bad experience was like 1 out of 10 support interactions. Mostly, they strive hard to support the business process and functionality and add the appropriate requests into their product.
Based on my personal experience, Appian is very user-friendly with its simple design patterns. It gives better options to integrate with the legacy systems so that the data can be maintained/synchronized across systems and can be converted as per the need. Also, its ability to automate things have proved to be useful to develop the business on a larger scale.
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]?
Appian is more suitable for day-to-day business activities. It is easy to integrate with other systems and maintain/synchronize data. Moreover, it's low code capability paves way for faster implementation & transformation.

It is not suitable where we have to process millions of data more quickly (It is capable, but may take more time).
