Experience enables seamless automation and elevates process efficiency while embracing innovative technologies
What is our primary use case?
A common use case for Appian is intelligent automation, where companies wanting to transform and have the latest technologies such as robotic process automation, fintech, AI, and artificial intelligence under the same platform use Appian to automate their business workflows.
There could be multiple industries that could benefit from this, including investment banks, retail companies, manufacturing companies, and healthcare companies. There's a variety of use cases for implementation.
What is most valuable?
The features of Appian that have proven to be the most beneficial are its capability to create processes and integrate with external systems while ensuring data consistency across all the systems.
The latest features of Appian are quite useful around the UI/UX design and the artificial intelligence integrations.
Appian is aiding in leveraging AI technologies in multiple ways: one way is for developers, as they make development efficient and quick by enabling developer co-pilots across various phases of the application, which helps design Appian quickly and provides suggestions along the way.
Another way is through AI Skills, which can be integrated anywhere in the process model to leverage artificial intelligence for tasks such as extracting data from documents, summarizing information from documents or long paragraphs, and building custom prompts with Appian.
Appian also utilizes AI for business users, providing a feature called process each view, enabling business users to create their own dashboards, reports, and gain insights from their data and processes using artificial intelligence. It's multi-fold and always growing.
What needs improvement?
Appian could improve in terms of how it approaches external use cases.
Appian is a great tool for internal use cases where the users are company employees, but it has room to improve for use cases where the users are public facing, where anonymous users could come to a site and run a business workflow or interact with some data.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have approximately nine to 10 years of experience working with Appian.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I have faced challenges while integrating Appian with existing systems, as there might be challenges around the integration systems not being stable or having many exceptions.
However, if the integration systems are stable and their process of integrations and the APIs are well documented, there are no challenges to integrate with Appian; it's fairly simple.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of Appian would rate as nine, as it's a stable environment.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Appian is scalable. On a scale of one to 10, Appian rates as a nine for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support for Appian rates as 10 out of 10 because they have a great support team.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with Appian, not SAP solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Appian has two ways of setting up the environments: one is on-premise, and the second is cloud environments.
The cloud environment is very easy to set up, as the Appian Cloud support team does everything for you end to end, and you will have the environments available where you could have the platform in about 24 hours, which is very quick.
This is preferred by about 95% of clients, as they would have Appian on Cloud.
The remaining 5% opt for Appian on premise due to data privacy issues or compliance challenges, where they manage the infrastructure themselves, which requires a couple of weeks for an infrastructure administrator to set up Appian on their own service.
What about the implementation team?
I'm a reseller and a partner, and my relationship with Appian is that we implement Appian for our customers.
What was our ROI?
The majority of our clients see the return on investment in about one year after implementation.
They see return on investment in terms of cost savings, time savings, more efficient processes, and more efficient employees.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Appian, on a competitive landscape, is a little bit on the higher side for companies, rating maybe a 6.5.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Appian to especially large to medium, medium to large companies looking to automate their business processes, as it's a great tool. I would rate the whole solution as a strong 9.5.
