Appian Reviews

SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces.

Process Modeling enables creation of business process workflows. You can create complex business workflows in a visual manner, and it is also easy to debug/monitor.

Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving.

Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet.

Excellent.

It is Java based, can be deployed in JBoss or WebSphere container.

I would rate it eight out of 10. It certainly is the best for enterprise application development.

Our primary use for this solution is Business Process Automation.  Appian is good for enterprise process automation as well as general purpose low code development.

Since implementing, we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed per project compared to other tools.

The most valuable features of Appian are the Low Code, robust Process Design, Run-time Management, Deployment, Interfaces, and Mobility.  The business rules capability are advanced and the integration capabilities are second to none.  We also find security to be more robust than pretty much all other application platforms we've worked with in the past.

We've used a good number of Business Process Automation tools in the past and none of them have given the value for money we are seeing with Appian.  Appian enables us spend the least time designing beautiful and robust interfaces that automatically render in Web browsers and native mobile apps securely without any additional effort.  With very little learning curve, an Appian designer will start designing very complex and dynamic interfaces that consume data from everywhere.

We would however like to have more granular control for interface styling in future releases.  Appian releases updates to the platform every quarter.

It reduces development time in half making us more efficient.

• It is fast and efficient.
• Mobile

All enterprises focus on these features in their work.

• Apps development
• BPM

It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them.

No issues.

No issues.

I would rate technical support as an eight out of 10.

I previously used .NET Framework. I switched because I think Appian is better for enterprise.

Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian.

There are two solutions depending on your situation: an on-premise solution and a cloud solution.

Oracle BPM. Appian was better.

It is more efficient and reduces time. There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system.
