Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The most valuable features of Appian are workflow management and the ease with which you can build the UI."
"It is really simple to create a new app, and I like the data-centric aspect of the BPM tool."
"Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"Form building capabilities and well thought out process modelling are key points to this product."
"It's a stable product."
"The product has a very good mobile app."
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"We use this solution as a customer portal for teachers so they can plan exams for their students. Exams will also be created in the portal in future."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"It is difficult to set up the on-premise version."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"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."
"This solution could be more user-friendly and involve less code. It requires a lot of SQL knowledge and programming. It is not a drag and drop solution."
