Finance Specialist at a government with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0I've found Appian highly effective for automating remittance processing, significantly reducing errors and boosting speed, while offering reliable reporting, strong integration, and excellent support; I'd rate it 7.5, with room to improve via geo-location features.
Director & Key Managerial Personnel at Newlight Technology Solutions Private Limited4.5I primarily use Appian for intelligent automation, benefiting diverse industries with features like integrating AI and process design. While Appian excels internally, external user cases need improvement. Clients typically see ROI within a year, leveraging AWS for deployment.
Technology Leader of Appian at a retailer with 11-50 employees4.5I use Appian primarily for internal applications due to its effective data management and process engine. The zero-code integration is a standout feature. While it's cost-effective, the user interface could be modernized for better design flexibility.
Delivery Manager (Intelligent Business Automation) - Pega at Persistent Systems4.0I use Appian as a mobile-friendly process orchestrator for enterprise applications, valuing its configurable workflows and integration services. However, it struggles with complex, memory-intensive processes, needing optimization and better AI integration. I also considered Pega and Mendix.
Associate Consultant at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.5I use Appian to create applications, including BPM applications. Its valuable features include comprehensive database management, such as creating and connecting tables and manipulating data. Currently, I lack insights on areas needing improvement due to my limited experience.
Senior Consultant at Protiviti consulting4.5I use Appian to automate internal operations for financial clients. Its fast development, good traceability, and low-code features improve process efficiency by up to 40%. Module reusability enhances speed, though setting up the on-premise version is challenging.
Sr AVP - EXL Digital at EXL Services3.5I use Appian for workflow and low-code application development, benefiting from its quick development and CI/CD pipeline. While it integrates well, it lacks flexibility in using external components and needs improvement in pricing.
Client Partner at Peristent Systems4.0I found Appian valuable for workflow automation across various sectors, with options for both cloud and on-premise deployment. Its VPN engine is swift and user-friendly. However, more customization and integration options would enhance its flexibility and appeal.
