Appian - platform with great community
What do you like best about the product?
Appian has wide offering of online trainings and active community. Variety of application on App market is astonishing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Implementaiton of simple workflows with very simple integration requires still hundreds of MDs.
I do not like the marketing as "low-code" or "no-code" platform as this creates expectation within the senior management that implementaiton will require few MDs which is far from reality.

Easy to improve, better with time
What do you like best about the product?
Appian keeps getting new features through the years, 4 per year, and they add so much value everytime, this being one of the main reasons Appian stills in the market, implementing multiple services making it useful for all companies. Also this is something that might be simple but documentation is great compared to another systems. Interfaces look great and everytime this is being improved. Not a lot of systems do that!
What do you dislike about the product?
Here in my team, we have something called "Appian horror tales" which is when sometimes something breaks with no explanation, somethings that gets errors when you run them again, they work and that is kind of confusing. Also as much as Appian is being great improving over time, there are some functions that still are not there but they must like a live view for local variables as that's one of our main pains when modifying code made by another person. One thing that could be better is the pricing because even though Appian is great, is expensive for a lot o countries and companies, making it difficult for Sales people. Lincenses are very expensive and companies are suposed to have a lot of users, making this kind of hard to get even when explaining the return of investment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with banking, manufacture, and multiple type of problems, and Appian help us solving all of companies headaches with smooth processes, and for me, the best BPM that's out there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get to the courses and activities, it will help a lot
Appian Application Design and Development Lead Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Appian allows for significant and contextually relevant business logic to expose and or route data along complex paths. The system is extremely flexible with very few limits as to the logic that can be applied.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Appian has made significant strides in improving its design features it still lacks the ability to design forms that are little more than a utilitarian look and feel. As of its recent release, the ability to affect the look and feel of an Appian interface has improved but there are still areas that can be frustrating. For example, many of our applications employ grids to capture and expose data. The grid functionality lacks many of the features However, the efforts being directed to consistently move interaction into more of today's capabilities are still lacking. Much more R&D is going into automation and AI integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Across our various business units, many processes were being managed via email and spreadsheet. In addition, many business units were either having to work in multiple applications and or outdated apps (SharePoint 2010). Appian has provided the ability to act as a "spine" where they connect to other enterprise applications to push/pull data along its flow. The flexibility in what can be developed and employed continues to make the platform an extremely versatile tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
BPM platforms are very complex. Evaluating each platform is time consuming and requires a commitment for the evaluation team to learn at a high level how each platform works. To make the most informed decision I would recommend that you do the following: Create evaluation criteria and apply a defined score to each so that you are evaluating apples to apples. Determine the requirements of a small POC and have each organization develop the POC. Finally if you determine Appian is the platform for you then once you deploy then choose a small application as your first project.
