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."The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"Write to Data Store Entity - Saving data in SQL databases is done easily using entities. Entities (CDTs in Appian terminology) define relationships and target schema tables via XSD files."
"The tool is very flexible."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"Technical support is helpful."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"GitHub CoPilot accelerates productivity. It is an easy-to-use solution that is also helpful in saving the team's time."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"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 product is easy to integrate."
"There are four areas I believe Appian could improve in. The first is a seamless contact center integration. Appian does not have a contact center feature. The second is advanced features in RPA. The third would be chatbot and email bot integration—while Appian comes with chatbot and email bot, it's not as mature as it should be, compared to the competition. The fourth area would be next best action, since there is not much of this sort of feature in Appian. These are all features which competitors' products have, and in a mature manner, whereas Appian lacks on these four areas. I see customers who are moving from Appian to Pega because these features are not in Appian."
"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."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"Lacks business rules management as part of the solution."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
