We performed a comparison between Appian and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"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."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The Application Designer is very user friendly. There are also lot of plug-ins that you can use and, for the most part, they are free."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"It is a scalable product."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding. It's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with. This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"The technical support is very good."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"The ability of the interface to load automatic data is not great."
"The graphical user interface could be easier to use. It should be simplified."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
