What advice do you have for others considering Appian?

Appian is a promising platform with significant functionalities, but it would benefit from more cost-effective pricing for smaller clients. The technical support could also be improved, especially in providing direct and faster response options. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I haven't faced challenges with new implementations. If an organization has a long-term goal of automation and wants to explore automation, Appian is a good choice. The product is quick, agile, and very robust. It provides everything we need. It's not like the other platforms where we have to buy multiple things on top of the actual product. It is a holistic automation tool. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The most frustrating aspect is its DPM offering. It fails to support VPN due to its limited scalability. You can only use the VPN for isolated cases. When attempting to apply it in a real-world scenario with multiple applications, it becomes unusable due to its lack of scalability. It boosts everything into memory. It is very easy to develop interfaces and access data with Appian. The local code acts as a communicator. The interfaces function as record types, and the logic you program use special rules, which resemble a kind of functional language exclusive. This combination of user interfaces and record types, along with the special rules, is very productive. You typically need to write much less code compared to other platforms Intergration is good. I recommend the solution, One should evaluate the VPN needs very closely. Not everybody needs VPN, but those who do should take a closer look to avoid surprises. You can use VPN in Appian, but it's somewhat different from what you might expect. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. I would recommend it, especially if you're looking to quickly develop workflow solutions with low-code integrations. Among similar platforms, I'd place Appian in the top tier.

I recommend Appian to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

I am using the latest version of Appian. Appian is deployed on Appian's own cloud in our organization. Appian has a very strong workflow engine compared to other solutions like OutSystems and Mendix. I would definitely recommend Appian to someone who is looking for strong workflow and process capabilities. However, I recommend other platforms like OutSystems and Mendix to someone looking to build their own mobile app or looking for a lot more flexibility with respect to user experiences. Appian is a pretty good tool. It's a low-code platform where you can start building your applications pretty fast. It has got really good workflow capabilities and a very good process engine. The solution has started integrating with cognitive services, RPA, and other services, which are probably at their initial stages, but the platform's roadmap is really good. Appian is definitely a platform to explore if you are considering a low-code platform to be part of your tech portfolio. Overall, I rate Appian a seven out of ten.

We have the solution implemented in our firm. New users need to understand the technical aspects of the product in order to take full advantage. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I'm an end-user. We are using the latest version of the solution. While there are a lot of factors when it comes to choosing a solution like this, Appian is a very robust platform, and it does offer advanced use cases. If you are more into Microsoft, however, Power Apps may be a better option. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I give the solution a nine out of ten. We have multiple environments. We can move our application from one environment to another environment through a governance process and approval through the application manager. The solution is easy to maintain and very configurable.

I'm using Appian right now. My organization uses the 22.3 and 22.4 versions of Appian in production and the sandbox environment. In the organization, Appian is deployed on a SaaS environment. Deploying the solution requires two people. Appian is a good solution, so I'm giving it nine out of ten. My organization is an Appian partner.

I would advise setting up your standards beforehand and identifying which teams are going to be responsible for the governance side of things. You need to identify a tech focus team that's going to be handling that. Once you have that built pretty solid, going from there, if you're targeting a citizen development model, then you can start pouring out into citizen development. If you're sticking within IT and app development and building a low code team, you have to set standards beforehand and make sure everybody is on the same page. I would rate it a seven out of ten. It is a pretty good solution. I haven't yet seen any major drawbacks. There are other competitors that offer more specialized solutions, but as a general solution, it takes the lead.

Anybody thinking of implementing Appian should have an enterprise-wide roadmap. If you're doing an enterprise-wide digital transformation, Appian is worthwhile, but not for just one or two use cases because the license costs are higher. I would rate Appian as nine out of ten.

I rate Appian eight out of 10.

We would recommend this product to others. From a low code BPM platform, I would rate the solution around nine out of ten.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

I would advise others there are multiple solutions in the market, low code solutions, BPM solutions, and case-finding solutions. There are multiple factors that make a good solution, such as ease to use, configuration, faster time to deploy, development and deploy scalability, and manageability. These are all factors that I would consider when purchasing a solution. I rate Appian an eight out of ten.

My advice before starting to implement this solution you need to consider what you want to do in Appian because everything is not possible. Sometimes when you think BPM process, you think that the interface application is the same, but it's not. I would rate Appian an 8 out of 10.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. For someone who is looking to implement Appian, my advice is definitely don't think twice. I mean, if you need automation, definitely there's a solution that would cater to their needs. As long as they know what they want or what they need to digitize, Appian would be there to support the transformation that their corporation or their company would be needing in the future. My advice is don't be scared of the changes and be open to the digital shift.

It's a good, solution, that is easy to use. If you are a large corporation, go for it. I would rate Appian a nine out of ten.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. I would recommend taking the tutorials and courses. There is a lot of material available to learn how to use and take maximum advantage of the application.

Appian is a good solution if you are going to implement BPM or automation into your organization. It can work on a small scale and scale larger afterward. I would rate Appian an eight and a half out of ten overall.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I'm a business partner with Appian. I'm an integrator. If a potential new user is going to evaluate it, they should look at the whole picture, not at the specific features. All in all, Appian gives the best coverage of all the features needed for an automation platform. It comes bundled with RPA and VPN and low-code and process-mining discovery and document intelligence and portal for external users and the data capabilities, data visualization capabilities, which no other tool gives, gives them in one package. They should look for and interview users of Appian to understand the product as well. There are a lot of different ideas in the market. The reason I chose to go with the Appian is the reason that it best suits businesses that wants to jump to the next era to perform the digital transformation in the smoothest way, in the most complete way. This is the benefit of Appian. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We are customers and end-users. We don't have a partnership with Appian. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using at this time. I'd rate the product nine out of ten. We are quite happy with its capabilities.

I would give Appian a rating of eight out of ten.

You must consider what your use cases will be and ensure that there is a fit, because it is not a cheap option, you must ensure that you get a good return on investment. I would rate Appian a seven out of ten.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10. My humble advice to someone who is looking to implement this solution is that they need to replicate. It's a so-called no-code platform, but it's not no-code because it has its own coding site. That's why they need to build one of their own solutions with Appian first to understand the how-to-dos first and become more confident. Luckily, the learning curve is not that steep.

I would rate Appian an eight out of ten. If you are looking for a fast, rapid rollout of applications and you have multiple medium-scale and small-scale processes that you want to roll out at a faster pace, with ease of maintenance, then Appian is a good product to go with. Appian can also be leveraged for large-scale implementation—for example, financial service customers, for loan origination or claims organization—but you would really need to understand your requirements in order to achieve this with Appian. Whereas with Pega, it has framework for loan originations and everything, which Appian doesn't come with. Appian is a plain vanilla product, and if you go for a large-scale core implementation, then you should have enough information and requirements to capture it. Appian is best suited to mid-scale and small-scale processes and a rapid rollout.

I recommend Appian because I've had experience with other solutions and I know this is the best. I rate this solution nine out of 10.

I rate Appian an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Appian a nine out of ten.

Other than the pricing concerns, it's a really great platform. If you're considering using Appian, my advice is to work with people that have experience building solutions with it, because that's going to lead to fewer problems down the line. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Appian a rating of nine. It's a great business management platform.

First, you have to understand the business logic behind all of your systems before you start developing and interconnecting the systems, and the process flows across the systems. That's the best advice I have. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. In terms of the traffic, the user interface should be improved so that it provides real-time data for complex connections between systems. If that is improved, I would give this solution a higher rating. Otherwise, it's a very stable and very robust product.

We're just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a relationship with the company. Currently, we are in the middle of a test pilot. We have about 20 users experimenting with the solution as we speak. I would recommend the solution to others. However, I would advise them to measure the requirements associated with the complexity of implementation related to how much coding they need, how complex their interactions will be. These variables may be factors when choosing which tool to use. I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We are Appian integration partners. We have multiple clients using Appian, although some want to move over to Microsoft. I would recommend the solution. It's quite easy to use, and the drag-and-drop functionality is great. For example, we have database records, and therefore we can easily pull the data from the database and connect and run the process. It's very easy when it's compared to previous versions. One thing to note, however, is that we do have a lot of memory. The memory has to be maintained and managed properly, otherwise, the system performance will come down. I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. There really is nothing like it on the market right now.

If anyone has to work on a BPM, then it's the best tool, and it's currently the market leader in terms of BPM in our country. In the BPM category, I will rate 10 out of 10 for this product.

The product needs to be supported by top management for it to work. This is one of the things that we faced at the very beginning. Second, from a technical point of view, you need to have a dedicated team taking care of this from a product management point of view, not necessarily from a technical point of view because that can be outsourced. I recommend not doing the development in-house, rather to outsource it with one or two partners and the corporate team. I recommend going for the full cloud-based solution architecture rather than having part of it inside and part of it outside. If there is no issue with data sharing then I would recommend going for a fully cloud-based solution. It gives an advantage and reduces a lot of management headaches. I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.

I would definitely recommend Appian. It has come a long way and it's a good product. It's entering into the area of a local application development platform. Appian is continuously making product updates every quarter. I would give Appian a rating of nine out of ten.

We don't have a business relationship with Appian. We're just customers. We're most likely using the latest version of the solution. I would definitely recommend the solution and invite other companies to try it out. They even have the trial edition. That way, you can test the solution before having to purchase the application edition. If you decide to go forward, it is $90 per user per month. They have the enterprise edition as well which is a bit more. The solution is that it's available on different devices as well, which makes it very flexible and easily adaptable to a lot of different environments, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android. The product also caters to all sizes of companies, whether you are small or large. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

This is a great product.

In general, Appian is a great competitor in process automation. However, in my opinion, compared with IBM they lack documentation, development methodology guides (scrum is not enough for BPM adoption) organizational change management is a prerequisite for any BPM journey, real examples like IBM Redbooks, the academy is great I think that more real business cases would be better, webinars etc In my opinion, it is not good to let developers design their own business database. Normally, they are not experienced at this. Perhaps for mid-size business, there is no problem, but when you have a big business it gets complicated and a database designer is required.

Compare this product closely to open source options, IBM and Pega. For simple solutions using simple models Appian may be sufficient and would provide better ROI than investing in building a team to support a more complex tool but for complex models I'd look for a stronger tool-set.
