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."There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"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."
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"Process Modeling enables creation of business process workflows. You can create complex business workflows in a visual manner, and it is also easy to debug/monitor."
"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."
"The tool is very flexible."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"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."
"Initially, OpenAI is free, but you'll need to pay for it later."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"GitHub CoPilot has good stability and performance."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"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 most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"The tool itself is pretty good, but the main area that we struggled with was the backend. The frontend development is really good, but the backend modeling can be streamlined a little bit. There are good integrations, but tying them through the data layer and then up into the frontend could be improved a little bit. It does read/write on the data source, and you can configure it to just write or just read, but there is a little bit of work involved."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"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."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"GitHub CoPilot’s integration with other solutions could be improved."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is expensive. It should also support other programming languages."
"GitHub CoPilot's alerting features need improvement."
"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 product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
