Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"The product has a very good mobile app."
"Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"The tech support is quite good."
"SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"The initial setup is easy."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"Occasionally, certain pre-made modules may not be necessary and customers may desire greater customization options. Instead of being limited to pre-designed features, they may prefer a more flexible version that allows for greater customization."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
