We performed a comparison between Alpha Anywhere and Appian based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It's very flexible."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"Even with an on-premise implementation, the scalability is still high, so it is easy to scale up."
"It has good integrations. We were looking for out-of-the-box integration with both on-prem and publicly accessible data sources. We needed integration with the cloud, OData, our REST API feed, and then on-prem passthrough to go to a SQL database or on-prem APIs through Azure local deployment, etc."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"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."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"The solution's most valuable features are the regular periodic and quarterly updates, they are very useful updates. They keep improving the solution more often, and that helps the platform or code always be up to date with the latest features."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"The solution could improve by being more responsive when dealing with large quantities of data. Additionally, they can make the decision or rules engine better. It cannot handle too many rules or too many decisions at once."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
