We performed a comparison between Appian and GitHub CoPilot 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."It has good integrations. We were looking for out-of-the-box integration with both on-prem and publicly accessible data sources. We needed integration with the cloud, OData, our REST API feed, and then on-prem passthrough to go to a SQL database or on-prem APIs through Azure local deployment, etc."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"The technical support is excellent."
"Appian helps you do a lot of things. It's easy to configure and build an application platform, and it offers a lot of features that you find in an RPA solution. It's flexible so you can reuse it for a variety of use cases."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"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."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"GitHub CoPilot helps us auto-complete code. The tool's context awareness benefits our projects because it identifies the context in which we are working and automatically proposes solutions that we use."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool needs to focus on integration, as it is the most important aspect. I would like to see some pre-designed modules included in my projects."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
