"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"The setup is easy."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"It has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."
"The initial setup was seamless. We didn't run into any hardships at all."
"The agile manner that we require to create our workflows. This is probably the most critical part of our solution and the time it takes to start processing the solution."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"If that had more DevOps capabilities, it would be an excellent product."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"The UI of Appian is more internal. Recently, there has been an addition of an external user portal for the customer-facing stuff. It's still coming out."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"It is quite expensive."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"The deployment should be simplified."
