Cons
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix.""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.""My only request is that they decrease the license costs.""Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection.""There could be a scope of enhancement for capturing the variety of use cases.""It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them.​""The documentation needs to be improved.""Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built."

More Appian Cons →

"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose.""The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky.""The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation.""If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable.""The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services.""The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation.""We are using the backdated version of this software. That is why we lack of some features. I hope when we update the version, then all the problems will be solved.""It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."

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 →
