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.""Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround.""There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system​.""What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side.

Cons
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs.""My only request is that they decrease the license costs.""Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash.""One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI.""It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them.​""The documentation needs to be improved.""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."

More Appian Cons →

"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve.""The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it.""Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace.""It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable.""Numerous options can make implementation confusing.""They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful.""Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern.""The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process. Currently on the UI where the fields are placed and the layout is set in place and you cannot change it. Your experience is going to be the same throughout whatever use case that you are building from customer to customer. You can not have much control over how it looks for each customer. This is an area where they can improve on."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "BPM done right is a huge value proposition for almost any company, and with Appian's low code rapid development model, the ROI can be huge, while the break-even point should be accelerated tremendously."
  • "It is expensive, but powerful. I would recommend comparing against cheaper licensing products and open source."
  • "Product pricing compared to some of the earlier vendors, like IBM, CA, and Oracle, is quite well-priced. Although, we do feel that as we increase the number of users and the workload increases, we will have to spend more."
  • "We will have to have a dialogue or negotiate a price for future use. To start with, it is a reasonable price. As we go ahead, we will have to make sure the costs are inline with our expectations as we grow our user base and workloads."
  • "It's good value for the price."
  • "I think that if somebody is really serious at looking at business value, then by all means, the product is well worth the value. You get representative business value for the price that you pay for the product, and for the implementation of the product."
  • "The cost depends on the number of users, although I recommend taking an unlimited license."
  • "The solution offers a monthly subscription model. That's what we use. I recall it being about $90 a month. They do have different tiers."
  • More Appian Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
  • "There is a license required for this solution."
  • "The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
  • "I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
  • "It is fairly competitive."
  • "I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
