Flexible, improves operational efficiency, and reduces the time taken to complete processes
The solution’s turnaround time for development is better compared to other tools. The solution enables fast development. The traceability of the processor is good. There is much more governance and regulations on the processers. The tool reduces the time of the processes by 30% to 40%. The solution’s low-code aspect has greatly impacted the development and deployment speed. One of the major reasons we are using the product is that we can reuse the modules. The developers can reuse all the modules. It enables us to make subsequent developments in less time. The prebuilt modules can be deployed within two to three weeks. The tool is very flexible. Compared to other platforms, the Appian product team was agile in quickly customizing things for us.

Discovery and root cause analysis are key benefits; its own dashboard is a standout feature
I think the company has the technology for continued improvement of its communications, the one-on-one with clients. They have improved their software over time but there is still more to be done, particularly with the user interface. They could include numerous additional features but I'm not sure if we are in a position to utilize them. The solution could be more flexible and intuitive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"Appian helps you do a lot of things. It's easy to configure and build an application platform, and it offers a lot of features that you find in an RPA solution. It's flexible so you can reuse it for a variety of use cases."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"The application life cycle is very clear. I started learning it and giving some workshops to my team. Creating the users and the building is very structured. Documentation is nice and it's easy to learn."
"It has created executable requirements and speeds up the SDLC process greatly."
"The solution has a lot of strong features for the financial industry, it is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's a stable product."
"Discovery and root cause analysis"
"I have found the most valuable features of QPR ProcessAnalyzer to be Process Discovery, KPIs, definition, and dashboarding. These are the main features we are working on."
 

Cons

"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"It is difficult to set up the on-premise version."
"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."
"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."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"Offline capabilities and responsive capabilities could be better. The mobility features of Appian platform are still evolving."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"The tool itself is pretty good, but the main area that we struggled with was the backend. The frontend development is really good, but the backend modeling can be streamlined a little bit. There are good integrations, but tying them through the data layer and then up into the frontend could be improved a little bit. It does read/write on the data source, and you can configure it to just write or just read, but there is a little bit of work involved."
"The user interface of QPR ProcessAnalyzer could improve, it is not very intuitive."
"Communication with clients could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a bit expensive and the pricing model is sometimes confusing for new users or business users. It is difficult for them to know what volume of usage they will have to be able to purchase the best-suited license at the beginning."
"The price is high."
"Product pricing compared to some of the earlier vendors, like IBM, CA, and Oracle, is quite well-priced. Although, we do feel that as we increase the number of users and the workload increases, we will have to spend more."
"The tool is quite costly."
"When it comes to pricing, it's definitely not affordable. However, it really depends on the requirements that you're seeking from the solution."
"The price of this solution is a little high here in Mongolia."
"The cost is calculated on a per-user basis. It might be expensive for small and mid-sized enterprises."
"We will have to have a dialogue or negotiate a price for future use. To start with, it is a reasonable price. As we go ahead, we will have to make sure the costs are inline with our expectations as we grow our user base and workloads."
"The price of QPR ProcessAnalyzer is more competitive compared to other solutions."
