Appian

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

This is the best BPM tool I have ever worked on.
We are using it in our organization for 5+ years now.
Features I like the most are :
-Easy to learn and use.
-Deployment suite is super nice and easy.
-UI is very user-friendly and even a beginner will not have much difficulty in understanding and hovering around the tool a little bit. It's that easy! I was able to learn it in a week's time.
-They are now also adding RPA features in the tool which makes us remain on the same tool skill set yet move around other BPM related industry capabilities like RPA and AI.

Inconvénients

It might be a little costly for small and medium enterprises.
I can't think of anything else.

Inconvénients

No much customization for user interface

Avantages

Inconvénients

Process model design and implementation is not that easy,
Reporting for huge data affects the performance

Avantages

Its low code platform allows for rapid development, which fits well with the Agile framework. The user experience is enhanced with standard interfaces that are familiar throughout the Appian package. Appian has covered all the bases with all the plugins you could possibly need. From web APIs to SQL integration.

Inconvénients

Appian lacks in on-premise support for high availability requirements. Appian training is linear and does not cater for real life problems. On-premise organisations suffer from the multiple releases/updates throughout the year. It seems every release has major updates.

Speed to use and deploy functionality. Overall customer support and service. The Appian Labs offering is great to better know the solution.
