We performed a comparison between Appian and Microsoft Azure App Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"Appian also has very flexible local integration."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"The most productive aspect of Appian lies in its ability to develop interfaces, particularly user interfaces. Creating user interfaces is highly productive, when these interfaces are integrated with the original database. In such cases, using record types proves to be a very efficient method of handling data. The synergy between interfaces and record types enhances productivity."
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"It provides us with real-time data on all connected systems in terms of how they're integrated with each other and how they are performing in a workflow manner."
"This is the most complete solution of its kind."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is autoscaling and resource grouping. Additionally, the integration works well, it is easy to do."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"The product is scalable."
"Enroll in some kind of formal training, not from Microsoft, but from a partner, and keep up with the change because the Azure platform changes a lot."
"Some of the features I found valuable are auto-scaling, SSL integration, cost-effectiveness, and the certificates provided by Microsoft Azure App Service."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its vertical and horizontal scaling, along with its ability to throw a docker image."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"It would be useful if they could create an academy or forum in the future to help active users answer questions they have about the solution."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"It is difficult to set up the on-premise version."
"The solution could use some more tutorials to help brand new users figure out how to use the product effectively."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly. For example, it could contain more explicit information on each of the features."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
"It would be fantastic if Microsoft morphed after my exit service, removing it from subscriptions and moving it to different regions, especially for that service."
"Limited integration is an area for improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service. Another area for improvement in the platform is multi-language support."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of the maturity of the solution. Everything is available that we need, but the issue is that they are still upgrading. Even though they have Azure applications and automation services, they still need to mature more. There are many things that need to mature and the road map for this is quite long, taking another three to eight years to have a mature solution."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
