Appian a great product in the right place!
Overall Satisfaction with Appian
We use Appian for low code development, specifically, we are migrating several older applications to our Appian code base. Specifically, we are using in the Production and Technology workspace and slowly expanding the Appian footprint across the organization. Given the distributed nature of our workforce, using a tool like Appian allows us to leverage more expensive managers with our emergent coding organization.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- There is a definite learning curve associated with Appian and functional information may be difficult to find.
- Better in line help would be a welcome addition.
- The pace of change means that, just about the time we are mastering this version, the NEXT version is coming out.
- Appian has lowered our cost of development.
- Decreased our time to market.
- Extended our capability to deliver a superlative product in a short time frame.
We have been an Appian shop since my arrival. Prior to Appian, I used .net and the Microsoft dev stack. And before that Java and miscellaneous languages. Every tool has strengths and weaknesses. That said, by using Appian, we have lowered our dev time, cost and are creating dynamic applications in a fraction of the time other models would require.
