Appian Reviews

Business Process Management Suite - Appian

Pros:

The most powerful feature of this platform for us was the ability to integrate seamlessly into quite a number of upstream and downstream systems using a variety of integration methods (connected systems, pub/sub methods, web services of various types and shared data among others). With thousands of users working across complex, often long-running business processes, this was a key enabler.

Cons:

Recent releases have added capabilities only to the Appian Cloud based product, would like these also available to on-premise installations.

Best software ever to build and design business workflows

Comments: It releases new features and functionality in every quarter of the year to keep up with the cutting edge technology.

Pros:

Low code platform so minimum coding is needed and turn around time to build and design workflows, user interfaces, reports, and dashboards is low.

Cons:

Appian is inefficient to handle enormous amount of data.

Appian's rapid application development capabilities allow you to quickly standup a production ready application with a user interface and business workflows.

Some of the things involved in application development are not standards based. It feels like I have to learn a new programming language, although it is quite simple to learn.

Best lowcode app development platform in the market!

Comments: Banking sector projects, healthcare projects

Pros:

It’s easy to setup integrations with 3rd party systems, prebuilt standard layouts and UI components & powerful process model capabilities are excellent.

Cons:

UI customisation should be improved, as we can use only standard components with standard functionality.

Hugely Effective BPM Tool with Ever-growing features!

Comments: I have been working as a developer on Appian for almost 2 years. This tools has been there in my organization for around 5 years now.
We have replaced so many tools in BPM but this has always remained intact solely because of it's user-friendly approach, easy to learn and build and it's huge market dominance.
I picked up the tool and got going with it in a week's time. It's so easy to learn it. Also, the kind of capabilities and features it provides and the overall UI has kept customer satisfaction levels in my organization at an all time high!

Pros:

This is the best BPM tool I have ever worked on. We are using it in our organization for 5+ years now. Features I like the most are : -Easy to learn and use. -Deployment suite is super nice and easy. -UI is very user-friendly and even a beginner will not have much difficulty in understanding and hovering around the tool a little bit. It's that easy! I was able to learn it in a week's time. -They are now also adding RPA features in the tool which makes us remain on the same tool skill set yet move around other BPM related industry capabilities like RPA and AI.

Cons:

It might be a little costly for small and medium enterprises. I can't think of anything else.

Bc teachers federation Appian systems

Pros:

Ease of enhancement, application and social media development

Great support and services

Comments: Adopting Appian was a fairly long affair for us, but I firmly believe, as I did then, that the opportunities for business transformation are huge. The software itself is still being honed and there are some aspects of usability that could use improvement. The user provisioning capabilities could be improved as well. The services offered by Appian PS are superior and the prod support experience is impeccable.

Pros:

Flexibility and applicability. Multiuser and multi developer features. Technical support is outstanding.

Cons:

The UI model could use more sophistication. The delivery model could use some simplification, especially the unification of design and designer. Provisioning users for complex apps with a large number of groups can be cumbersome.

Process model design and implementation is not that easy, Reporting for huge data affects the performance

Appian - the perfect BPM tool that has Agile in mind

Pros:

Its low code platform allows for rapid development, which fits well with the Agile framework. The user experience is enhanced with standard interfaces that are familiar throughout the Appian package. Appian has covered all the bases with all the plugins you could possibly need. From web APIs to SQL integration.

Cons:

Appian lacks in on-premise support for high availability requirements. Appian training is linear and does not cater for real life problems. On-premise organisations suffer from the multiple releases/updates throughout the year. It seems every release has major updates.
