"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"It has created executable requirements and speeds up the SDLC process greatly."
"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."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
