Appian Software

Pros

I’ve heard good things on Appian, and heard high degree of satisfaction, but we had a hard time with it at my firm.

Cons

Just IT and process analys map processes. Rule expression language. Has a plug in that offenses challenges from this, but we couldn’t get it to work properly.

Rapid small scale development.

Pros

Appian is easy to learn and use. New employees usually pick it up quickly. Can develop and make rapid changes with less code than many other platforms. Large array of plugins to support the functionality you need like APIs or SQL integration. Constant product releases and continuous improvements.

Cons

Frequent updates can be annoying. Lack of documentation is a huge problem since you cant just google for answers.

Pros

The facts that Appian is low code, building an app literally takes days and weeks not months and years.

Cons

Appian should come up with a new price plan, even though it works fine for now the UI needs to be improved and a lot of new features have to be added.

Cons

We requested a free trial of Appian in order to build a workflow for our call center support staff. About a week after requesting the free trial I got a short email saying that our request was rejected because our organization did not meet the minimum requirements. No additional information was given. In this day when nearly all SaaS companies charge on a monthly basis and require significant time and energy to implement, how are we expected to want to buy a product that we can't even test to see if it meets our requirements?

Great experience using the product very intuitive and powerful
Like the product roadmap and where the product is headed in the future

Pros

Easy to use

Cons

Not Scalable to enterprise level

Overall good. Good to learn about new features in 17.2 next version. Still need some more features and capabilities

Very process driven, quick app option for pic and then to the full development cycle is very helpful.

Pros

Easy to develop a quick app. Well documented

Cons

Expensive, Report need more options
