As a developer, there is no build, compile or merge up of application. The framework is similar to plug and play. You just login and you are ready to develop. Also the deployment of application is great just by sincing of db and transfering of changed object to the other environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appian?

Appian is a powerful business process automation tool. Our company has builds under Appian that are used daily. It has allowed our company to implement builds in record times, usually takes 2 months to 15 days. Appian has proved its strength in data integration to external systems such as Salesforce and AWS. Lastly, Appian's process workflow is easy to use and offers a wide variety of smart services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appian?

Appian lacks elastically scalable offerings, especially for builds that have dynamic traffic from customers and internal users. Appian is also quite expensive compared to other competitors in recent times. Lastly, Appian is still quite limited in mobile-app development and deployment. Appian support is average as the issues ticketing system would be better if it can offer live support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appian solving and how is that benefiting you?

Appian has helped us enrich customer experience by enabling straight-through processes without human intervention. It has also helped us streamline customer onboarding processes - from application to investigation. Lastly, as pioneers in the industry, the ease of development in Appian has helped us develop and deploy faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appian?

Appian, the platform, is a great product. It's incredibly extendable and configurable, and easy to tailor to your customers needs. The recent releases have greatly improved Appians capability, and I look forward to what they're going to release next. The recent focus on product sales (as in, selling from a pre built Appian app, as opposed to selling a scratch build) makes it easier to hook new clients with impressive interfaces and capabilities with less effort on the dev team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appian?

I cannot explain their licensing cost in a easy and succinct way. It's cost per user, unless it's not. It's X price, unless you want to use the new app they're marketing. In addition, it can be difficult to develop and test custom plugins and components. While that is a rarer use case, it can still come up. I also wish Appian made more product/app tools available to partners, like the solutions hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appian solving and how is that benefiting you?

Appian's low code platform makes it easy to take a customer's vision and make it reality. Or, at least as close as we can reasonably get. It allows for rapid iteration with a relatively light team of developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
