We performed a comparison between Appian and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"The tech support is quite good."
"In terms of interface, it's very good. In terms of infrastructure, it's amazing and already using multiple tools behind the scenes. It's a low-code platform, so it's very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features of Appian are the VPN engine, it is fast, lightweight, and easy to set up business rules. Business teams can do it by themselves. That is a very good feature."
"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."
"Appian's most valuable features are the quick time it takes to develop for the market. It's easy and faster than other BPM solutions."
"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"The setup is easy."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"It is very easy to use."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"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."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"There could be a scope of enhancement for capturing the variety of use cases."
"It has it's own built-in UI components and doesn't provide much flexibility to customize or extend those components."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"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."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
