"The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"Appian is easy to install and set up, and it does not come out with your audit. It has accessible process orchestration and process management. With Appian, the time to market is much faster."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"Technical support is helpful."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"The tool itself is pretty good, but the main area that we struggled with was the backend. The frontend development is really good, but the backend modeling can be streamlined a little bit. There are good integrations, but tying them through the data layer and then up into the frontend could be improved a little bit. It does read/write on the data source, and you can configure it to just write or just read, but there is a little bit of work involved."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"There could be a scope of enhancement for capturing the variety of use cases."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"The solution could use some more tutorials to help brand new users figure out how to use the product effectively."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"Lacks integration with other products."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
