We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"Process culture is making noise inside the organization because now, everybody knows that their time is being monitored." "Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed." "The process models provide self-documenting systems." "We appreciate the drag and drop functionality and the easy to access plug and play features." "Appian also has very flexible local integration." "Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes." "Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product." "In terms of interface, it's very good. In terms of infrastructure, it's amazing and already using multiple tools behind the scenes. It's a low-code platform, so it's very easy to implement." | "I think that the workflow and automation features are quite good." |
Cons | |
"The documentation needs to be improved." "We would like to have more granular control for interface styling." "My only request is that they decrease the license costs." "The solution could use some more tutorials to help brand new users figure out how to use the product effectively." "They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device." "Lacks integration with other products." "Authoring tool is slow to use resulted in limitations on how quickly solutions can be built." "It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved." | "Overall, integration with the enterprise ecosystem needs improvement." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"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." "It's an enterprise tool and can be used by enterprise only. So it's a very expensive tool." | "Initially, we started with a year for approximately $25,000, and if we need to expand the number of seats then we will increase it." |
