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.

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

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

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

Appian is inefficient to handle enormous amount of data.

Good workflow, Still to mature into a robust tool with better ui capabilities + performance monitoring and debugging capabilities

Good workflow capabilities

Very basic ui Immature deployment and monitoring capabilities

Excellent, but requires more tools to model data flows.

Excellent administration dashboards.user setup was very easy.

Single instance setup is tpugh takes 40 minutes to update a patch in windows.

I was able to quickly standup useful business applications with Appian that has helped my department become more productive in day to day tasks.

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.
