We performed a comparison between Appian and Microsoft Azure App Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We appreciate the drag and drop functionality and the easy to access plug and play features."
"Recently, we added Appian Process Mining, Appian Portals, and now Appian RPA."
"The product has a very good mobile app."
"Process Modeling enables creation of business process workflows. You can create complex business workflows in a visual manner, and it is also easy to debug/monitor."
"The tool is very flexible."
"What stands out are the speed of the product, the quick, easy development, and visual diagramming."
"Compared to other code tools that I've seen, Appian has a more robust rules engine"
"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"This solution is easy to deploy."
"I like that it's a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solution that provides all of the necessary functions for customers, such as codes that can be quickly switched from the production version, or from test and DEV versions to production."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"The most beneficial aspect of Microsoft Azure App Service is its automated DevOps deployment, which includes configurations that ensure secure connections to key vault and database resources."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is customization. It provides the building block from its modularity. You can add what you need with the appropriate code."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"Architecture of product and scalabiility issues."
"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises. They would also benefit from adding documentation and training on their site."
"We would like to see more reduced latency. We would like to make sure that the scale-out factor will be much more as workloads come in."
"Appian could include other applications that we could reuse for other customers, CRM for example."
"Appian has a few areas for improvement, which my organization raised with the Appian team. One is the Excel output which is limited to fifty columns when it should be up to two hundred or three hundred columns."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"It needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"In terms of room for improvement, ease of deployment would be an area that needs some focus. Azure does provide out-of-the-box deployment features, but I found that deploying to an App Service instance can be better in terms of more tools that could be available to perform a deployment."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
"Limited integration is an area for improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service. Another area for improvement in the platform is multi-language support."
"The configuration is slow without understanding the systematic process."
