Business Process Management Suite - Appian

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

The most powerful feature of this platform for us was the ability to integrate seamlessly into quite a number of upstream and downstream systems using a variety of integration methods (connected systems, pub/sub methods, web services of various types and shared data among others). With thousands of users working across complex, often long-running business processes, this was a key enabler.

Cons:

Recent releases have added capabilities only to the Appian Cloud based product, would like these also available to on-premise installations.

Pros:

Low code platform so minimum coding is needed and turn around time to build and design workflows, user interfaces, reports, and dashboards is low.

Cons:

Appian is inefficient to handle enormous amount of data.

Best lowcode app development platform in the market!

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Banking sector projects, healthcare projects

Pros:

It’s easy to setup integrations with 3rd party systems, prebuilt standard layouts and UI components & powerful process model capabilities are excellent.

Cons:

UI customisation should be improved, as we can use only standard components with standard functionality.

Great for rapid application development

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: I was able to quickly standup useful business applications with Appian that has helped my department become more productive in day to day tasks.

Pros:

Appian's rapid application development capabilities allow you to quickly standup a production ready application with a user interface and business workflows.

Cons:

Some of the things involved in application development are not standards based. It feels like I have to learn a new programming language, although it is quite simple to learn.
