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."
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored."
"The product has a very good mobile app."
"We appreciate the drag and drop functionality and the easy to access plug and play features."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"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."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"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."
"Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."
"We would like to have more granular control for interface styling."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
