Great tool for rapidly creating applications
What do you like best about the product?
It is quick and easy to get an application live and in the hands of an end user. Can keep companies up and running remote during these tough times.
What do you dislike about the product?
That there is a lack of styling customization. There is only so much you can do to customize the look of the apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving issues with our company that involve a lot of paper pushing and processes that can be sped up electronically. We have been able to make our company able to work remotely in this rough time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For getting developers for the tool, send them to the Appian training camp. Hiring developers for this tool is very expensive if they already know the tool. But you will get every penny out of those developers because of the time saved creating the applications over custom development.
Good workflow engine
What do you like best about the product?
Executable BPMN development environment lets us directly translate business process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The deployment model is single server. If an upgrade to capacity is needed, it requires a rebuild of the VM. You are often required to create strongly typed CDTs, which makes it difficult to use dynamic JSON payloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have standardized orchestration for our core APIs, giving us a single place to track business transactions. We do not use it for creating user interfaces.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always try a free demo, and partner with your business stakeholders to document a business model and immediately run it as code. This is an eye opener and game changer.

Implementaiton of simple workflows with very simple integration requires still hundreds of MDs.
I do not like the marketing as "low-code" or "no-code" platform as this creates expectation within the senior management that implementaiton will require few MDs which is far from reality.
