"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"The tool is very flexible."
"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."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

"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."
"There are some restrictions with respect to using external components within Appian. So, for example, if we do not have a particular feature available, there's a long cycle of getting approvals and all of that. That does not offer flexibility, which definitely can be improved on."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."

"You have to maintain it manually."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
