Scalable Automated Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
The Appian suite allows for swift delivery in business value. What would take weeks or months to deliver in a legacy ERP system takes days in Appian.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Appian is a suite, it has many tools to solve your business process needs. That being said, if you consistently need features outside of Appian the platform and their marketplace does not have a Java plugin for you, you may want to consider going with a different suite or strategy for building business applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Appian has improved SLA's, increased interdepartmental collaboration, standardized processes, and decreased process waste. Appian is a powerful tool and will give you tremendous control over your business processes when used to its full strength.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Appian if you want to standardize your business processes and gain insights into how your business performs in terms of cycle time, SLA fulfillment, and continuous improvement. Once you have standard processes, then you can use more advanced features such as RPA, IDP (Intelligent Document Processing) or even perform advanced analysis on your Appian data-points using some process mining. Appian is a great place to start your journey into optimizing your corporate business processes.
Powerful and versatile
What do you like best about the product?
Development tools, Integrations and support forums
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited Appain exposure for other systems to integrate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Case management mostly. Great audit benefits and secure access to information at your fingertips
Low Code - great product - robust
What do you like best about the product?
I like using the process modeler to map out the work flow; also like being able to test the UI forms when creating them. Also - although I had learned from the early days - how to create forms using just SAIL, the drag and drop components that have evolved over the years really do make it easy for new developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the quarterly updates usually have some great enhancements, it's cumbersome to have to do regression testing every quarter - would probably prefer updates twice a year which would be more manageable for a cloud customer. Also - if one developer is working on a process, it's not easy to break up the process to allow multiple developers to work on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved accountability of tasks with several workflows; migrated legacy data and older workflows easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to assess the business's needs for reporting, workflows, approvals - a little extra time spent on this up front will save time later on.

What do you dislike about the product?
Appian is having most of the capabilities built-in I would like to see if they focus more on performance.

Innovative product that can transform your workplace
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy-to-learn and easy-to-use for both developers and end users. The interface is slick and powerful. Both the Appian product and the implementation team have been an excellent fit for our organization. The product is robust enough to handle mission-critical membership tracking for our 500,000 members, while flexible enough to also provide internal leave tracking for several hundred employees. Appian issues quarterly product updates that we can schedule with their Cloud team at our convenience. The Cloud team team makes the upgrade process completely painless.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Tempo interface and social features are a waste for our organization. Thankfully the big focus in recent releases has been on the much more user-friendly Sites interface. Excel and Word templates are not easy to use and need more official support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize Appian in all parts of our organization. Our primary use case is for our mission-critical membership tracking system that also includes a major batch file processing component. We have leveraged their RPA capabilities to handle routine tasks and free up employee time for more valuable tasks. We have also used Intelligent Document Processing to organize a legacy document dumping ground into a powerful and searchable tool. We even built our internal employee portal and leave tracking solutions in Appian.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Partner with either Appian or a 3rd party on your initial project to learn the ropes, even if you plan on going in house later. Leverage the cloud offering if possible. Start with some quick-hit applications that show value before moving on to a large scale project.
Robust Low code Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The easy to design the workflows, the functions already present for expression rules and the UI features.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are very less guidance on development of smart services or plugins.

We have build several workflows for clients eliminating their manual work and tons of spreadsheets. It definitely have made their life easier.

Get the trial and put it to the test. See how fast the environment is ready and how quickly you can create an app.
