Experience administrating, developing and supporting the Appian product.
What do you like best about the product?
Appian has a nice UI out of the box and development is faster than traditional languages like C#. This allows you to focus on designing solutions and not trying to make the product look pretty.
What do you dislike about the product?
Appian meets my requirements 90% of the time out of the box but trying to do something Appian was not designed to do can be challenging. Choosing the right projects to leverage the Appian platform is a must to maximum the return on investment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Appian is great at digitising paper forms and creating workflows with approvals. Helping staff manage all these forms allows them to spend more time doing the more interesting parts of their jobs.

Centralize all business in the Appian application
appian platform is very useful to build an ecosystem of enterprise workflow based applications
What do you like best about the product?
(1) the most useful feature of appian is the workflow design feature: try to build the same workflow with appian and with a general purpose language and you'll notice the benefits of using appian.
(2) the UI design feature is very rich, in terms of widgets, behaviors, ....
(3) appian have its own application patterns (sites, record types, ...): they are useful to build omogeneous applications (in terms of UI and implementation structure)
(4) the design tool offer many useful samples/patterns to build different kind of interfaces
(5) the integration features are very powerful

What do you dislike about the product?
(1) even if it's low-code, you need very good developers: they must be experienced developers so they can learn easily new constructs and a new Language, otherwise you will be stick with the tool;
(2) you should not use appian for single isolated applications;
(3) you should be aware of the technical lock-in imposed by this platform and adopt the platform 360° and for long time;
(4) the "source" management is less structured than in general purpose languages (you cannot branch, you cannot set a baseline, all developers must operate on the same environment,...)
(5) sometimes processes must be user in unnatural scenario (when there is not a real workflow)

SaaS based BPM, done the right way and with potential for more!
What do you like best about the product?
We've found Appian as a very adequate platform for our process automation needs. Its low-code development capability allows us to implement a great range of solutions in terms of size and nature with a reasonable licensing and operational investment, plus the learning curve towards gaining productivity is accelerated. The support for both BPM and RPA paradigms brings great potential to the organization alongside standard, out-of-the-box integration capabilities to orchestrate the processes fulfilment in the back-end systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Developers with skillsets in Appian development are still not that abundant in the market. We expect this to improve over the years as Appian adoption is growing fast, but for the first initiatives, it has been difficult to install capacity. Nonetheless, this can be easily mitigated by training your own developers on the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started with encountering a lot of value in use cases that required a quick UX to streamline processes that had no placeholder in the core systems but still required fulfillment of the business process into those same systems. Some cases even imply workflows of information-gathering steps that trigger transactions across multiple back-end apps. This is reducing the time to market for these types of problems and sets the foundations for enabling a true process-oriented approach for the organization.
I have been more than 4 years working with Appian in different companies and projects.
What do you like best about the product?
Speed of development and flexibility of deployments
What do you dislike about the product?
The rigidity of parameterization of certain components and graphical interfaces
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The representation and automation of the business processes of organizations.
THIS LOW CODE CAN TAKE YOU TO HIGH NODE!
What do you like best about the product?
So easy for non-technical people as well to use, and people with no programming background as well can easily grasp the concepts of Appian.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when a really large number of users access the environment at the same time, low speed s observed in page loading while working on the Appian cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to understand for business owners, and analysts quite well even when they do not have a strong technical background. Takes very less time for development as compared to traditional approaches.
