Partnering with comprehensive automation for increased efficiency
The best feature of Appian RPA is that it is highly integrated into the Appian platform itself. It is very easy to configure that in the end-to-end Appian automation solution. The second notable feature is that Appian RPA gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of how you want to design the robotic tasks. It has a very detailed orchestration console which provides details about the entire runtime and the logs of Appian RPA where you can find in detail what the robot did on the virtual machine. Appian provides dashboards where users or admins can log in and see how the robots are performing various robotic tasks. It is very detailed and gives substantial insight into how Appian RPA is functioning or is operational. It also lets you drill down into specific details at each task level.

Streamlined workflows have automated tasks and supported real-time collaboration on projects
I consider Pipefy's mobile app to be one of the best features because it helps me use it on the go, and I do not have to miss any notifications. I also love the real-time communication between team members, which makes collaboration much easier than using traditional design documents. It has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface where it was easy to get started and use complex features without feeling overwhelmed. The real-time communication and mobile app features are valuable for my work because with Pipefy's mobile app, I can use it on the go, so I do not have to miss anything.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find the pricing of Appian RPA reasonable because it is user-based, and we can experiment with it."
"Appian RPA is super easy to use, offering low code, no code capabilities."
"The best feature of Appian RPA is that it is highly integrated into the Appian platform itself and is very easy to configure in the end-to-end Appian automation solution."
"Pipefy has had a positive impact on my organization by helping the collections team convert invoices that were overdue into paid invoices and, consequently, cash for the company."
"Pipefy is extremely customizable to any process with some incredible automations that helped to reduce our workload."
"Overall, Pipefy helped create more predictable, organized, and scalable operational processes."
"Since using Pipefy, I estimate that we have saved 50% in time and costs."
"In terms of money and time saved, Pipefy is a great time saver overall, reflecting in analysts handling additional projects beyond ticket management."
"Pipefy has impacted my organization positively as we have not reduced our headcount, but we could if we wanted to because the number of people managing those processes before Pipefy was a lot."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, Appian RPA can be improved."
"There are not any areas that need improvement off the top of my head."
"There are many competitive products in the market right now, for example, UiPath and Automation Anywhere. These competitive products are now coming up with features which Appian RPA currently does not have."
"Everything is great, but I find that sometimes the server seems very slow on busy days."
"Although Pipefy is a great platform, I find that there are certain areas where it could be improved, especially the registration process, which leaves a lot to be desired as its complexity makes the entire sign-up process time-consuming and cumbersome."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Pipefy, but I think there are still some areas that could be improved."
"What is lacking is direct support, since I am required to go through a third-party outsourcing company to connect with Pipefy."
"I believe Pipefy can be improved by clarifying the API calls and making packages for API calls more accessible, because in my organization we have a lot of automation, but we have few API calls, precisely because we have a fixed plan and the organization, in fact, does not need that."
"Pipefy can be improved with processes not only following Kanban styles but other kinds of processes that have more paths, not just a single, direct path, but they have bifurcations."
