Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."The most valuable features of Appian are workflow management and the ease with which you can build the UI."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"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."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"This is the most complete solution of its kind."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its project management tracking systems."
"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"It’s a great way to communicate plans and progress across the business and is flexible about how much detail I include and how I present it."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"Sometimes, clients expect us to implement ERP using Appian, which is very complicated. In such cases, I don't believe that Appian is a good tool for that."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"This solution has a learning curve, where it is initially difficult to use."
"It would be beneficial if Asana had a predecessor feature that automatically adjusts all subsequent dates when changes are made to a timeline. For example, if I assign a designer four hours for one task and two days for another, and the completion of a task takes longer than anticipated, it would be convenient if updating one date could prompt the adjustment of all other relevant dates. Essentially, this feature would streamline the process and eliminate the need for manual adjustments."
"I rate the support from Asana a four out of five."
"The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations."
"The calendar view in Asana has shortcomings and can be improved."
"Their workflows and automation could use a big improvement. I don't even know if they have anything in that regard right now. I would really love to see a way where you can send custom alerts based on a task's completion or status change or an approval coming through. I would love to see a way to get some low-code functionality into Asana because right now, that is a big miss."
"It's difficult to have short-term collaborations with external users because the operations team owns the final licenses, and I work for marketing."
"The product must reduce the information on the interface."
