Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"It reduces development time in half making us more efficient."
"Write to Data Store Entity - Saving data in SQL databases is done easily using entities. Entities (CDTs in Appian terminology) define relationships and target schema tables via XSD files."
"The most valuable features of Appian are the VPN engine, it is fast, lightweight, and easy to set up business rules. Business teams can do it by themselves. That is a very good feature."
"Appian has many valuable features, the first being the ease of development—rapid development. Second, the process of learning the product and tool is faster when compared to its peers in the market. It's closer to low-code, and while it's still not very easy, it's more low-code than other products in the industry. Appian has a good user interface, a seamless model user interface, which comes without additional coding. It can also integrate with multiple systems."
"Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"Occasionally, certain pre-made modules may not be necessary and customers may desire greater customization options. Instead of being limited to pre-designed features, they may prefer a more flexible version that allows for greater customization."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"Form creation and SAIL proprietary language still basically require programming. The claim a BA type can do everything is hogwash."
"It is also not easy to learn. Training tutorials could be improved."
"Native mobile capabilities or hybrid mobile app capabilities are very limited. Things like offline sync, offline storage, access to smartphone device features, etc. are not supported by the Appian platform yet."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
