What do you dislike about the product?
Limited UI options e.g. 5 tabs across the top.
Integrations can be difficult.
Debugging can be difficult as error messages are not always detailed enough.
Support is hard to get for individual freelancers and small company business partners.
There is a data export limit to excel that inhibits growth. Additionally, the flexibility between desktop and mobile development can sometimes limit specific development toward one platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
These are some detailed examples of things that Appian does not do particularly well:
- The standard cloud database still has a little bit unfriendly interface but it is true that we use our own databases.
- Besides, process diagrams and coding interface experience are improvable (there are some process flow functions missed like for or while loops).
- Robot process automations and AI & ML functionalities are improvable in terms of user interface and functionalities.

Appian is a best low-code automation platform where most of the business problems can be addressed
What do you like best about the product?
The list of OOTB features provided to ease development work and gives enrichment to the business processes. The ability to include AI/ML/RPA has brought in a hyper-automation capability which reduces the manual errors in the business processes and increases the accuracy of the outcome. Overall the efficiency & productivity of the business increases. It also provides functionality to extend Appian by adding custom plug-ins to the platform(after a review by Appian)
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all products provide all the features which a user can wish for. Same way, Appian also has some restrictions on its OOTB functionality & some UX constraints. We have to write custom plug-ins/components for features that we need to bring into Appian.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a BPM tool, Appian has helped our organization in automating business processes starting from onboarding a user to handling the request from the user to each and every department within the organization. It has also provided features to extract reports on the user activity which helps in precise tracking of an user's/departments productivity/efficiency. One main problem that has been solved by Appian is maintaining the historical records with a specific set of security rules defined by the business - For example, my historical leave requests should be visible to me and my manager only.

Quality low-code development landscape
What do you like best about the product?
Drag-and-drop process modeler is good and easy to use. There is automated task managemnt, and the platform overall offers an actual no-code experience. You can also separate it out and provision separate access for regular business users and more technical IT staff with individual processes that integrate together. This enables teams with distinct talent pools to work together on the same platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fairly expensive and not all the workflows are obviously intuitive. Thats not to take away from the the value though - you often get what you pay for and also they offer a free trial so no commit to buy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem is that not all of the folks on the application side have deep technical experience. Having a code free experience lends value, but you will need folks with the requisite knowqledge to be able to build the objects and enables integrations, etc. etc.
