Quality low-code development landscape
What do you like best about the product?
Drag-and-drop process modeler is good and easy to use. There is automated task managemnt, and the platform overall offers an actual no-code experience. You can also separate it out and provision separate access for regular business users and more technical IT staff with individual processes that integrate together. This enables teams with distinct talent pools to work together on the same platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fairly expensive and not all the workflows are obviously intuitive. Thats not to take away from the the value though - you often get what you pay for and also they offer a free trial so no commit to buy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem is that not all of the folks on the application side have deep technical experience. Having a code free experience lends value, but you will need folks with the requisite knowqledge to be able to build the objects and enables integrations, etc. etc.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
App Ian is great for business, time to produce working useful applications beats other tools, except perhaps Pega, but cost far less than Pega. Appian is committed to growth and encompassing DevOps and better UI tools, important fir protecting your investment.

Appian Tool Review
What do you like best about the product?
It's low-code and easy to develop. It's one of the smart tool to build applications quickly and helps address business problems fast. It's also easy to check and deploy to higher environments using Compare and Deploy feature withing the tool. If we are missing anything the deployment package, the tool will let us know immediately. It's easy to revert changes using versions. It's easy to build UI"s with lot of features and drag and drop options.
The processes will run fast and we can create many instances at once. Processes have lot of plugin options to help developers to do lot of stuff. If we need some feature which is not available OOTB then we can develop our own plug-in and deploy to server and use them in real-time. It's easy to monitor processes as well and manager security.
Easy to build reports for business needs.
It's easy to learn for any new developer with little or no programming language.

What do you dislike about the product?
Long running processes are not recommended.
Adds unwanted code lines when drag and drop is used.
Hard to debug with the generic errors Appian throws.
Deploying plug-in in cloud is difficult and time taking.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We recently developed an app in Appian for health care customers to see the member info and all the cases and record the interaction activities and get the reports emailed to business people. Loading file and sending files/emails are all automated. In Java, they were expecting it to be completed in 6 months. I built it in 2 weeks using Appian and it's been used by customers from past 2 months without any defects. They liked it so much that they have asked to enhance the app with new features and continue using Appian.
Great workflow tool
What do you like best about the product?
By far the best feature by far is the timing automation. With so much to do and little time. We use the time out feature to keep the workflow moving.
What do you dislike about the product?
The coding. I initially thought Appian was similar to other low code software. It is still not full code, but it is not low code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use Appian to approve premium freight above and beyond regular charges. We are able to track these movements and all must be approved.
Good RPA tool for custom automations
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic email task notification
Easy to develop application and re-use the code for multiple applications
Open platform that can easily integrate with external systems

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such I have to dislike
I feel it is good
I feel it is good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Appian is helpful is automating the manual efforts we do daily and reduces manual efforts
One app can do so much
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. The modelling flow chart to model process flow diagrammatically instead having to write line after line after line of code. I like how you can pretty much create any process type application for so many industries. I can see it being used in totally different industries from healthcare to education to inventory type systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one downside is that I have to learn a little bit of coding. The SAIL language is not too bad to learn, but it's a little confusing for non programmers. I don't like some of the restrictions put on the software, like only being able to have 5 menus on a webpage. But with a little creativity, I'm sure people will find workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wasn't solving a problem with Appian. I was sent to a week long developer fundamentals class taught by Gabriel Salas. In that class we solved a problem for a car rental system. this system included maintenance scheduling, email notification, task assignment, process flow modelling, decision tree making. There was also another app that we used as a demo for a class training resource site and a doctors office, that is populated with doctors, nurses, prescription medication and patients. Patients will get automated e-mail notifications for appointments and they have their own portal so that they can set up an appointment time, pick the doctor they want and fill in form for their own diagnosis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For non-coders, business people, they can help developers model the business processes in the same project or app. This does lift the burden a little bit off the developers. It is also suitable for performing the agile methodology with dev-ops, which seems to be the industry standard in rolling out software applications. It also has a robotics and automation component to it but we didn't demo it. Considering the competitors out there like pega, appian is very similar and the ease of use is quite good.
