We performed a comparison between Appian and KiSSFLOW 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."The most productive aspect of Appian lies in its ability to develop interfaces, particularly user interfaces. Creating user interfaces is highly productive, when these interfaces are integrated with the original database. In such cases, using record types proves to be a very efficient method of handling data. The synergy between interfaces and record types enhances productivity."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"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."
"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."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"It provides us with real-time data on all connected systems in terms of how they're integrated with each other and how they are performing in a workflow manner."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes."
"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"The support team responds fast."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"It is difficult to set up the on-premise version."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"The solution could use some more tutorials to help brand new users figure out how to use the product effectively."
"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."
"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."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
